Grassroots Food

Do you feel powerful when you put food on your plate?

Tanya Cobb would like you to at least understand the power inherit in knowing where your food came from.

We talk with the author of the new book Reclaiming our Food about her theories on the relationship between food, knowledge, power, and democracy.

Guest:
Tanya Denckla Cobb - Associate Director of the Institute for Environmental Negotiation. Former Executive Director of the Virginia Urban Forest Council. Author of Reclaiming Our Food: How the Grassroots Food Movement is Changing the Way We Eat [Storey Publishing, 2011].

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
