Noah Bloedorn, REAP Food Group, discusses the complexities of food systems, particularly focused on Dane County, Wisconsin, emphasizing the need for a transition from a profit-driven food system to one that prioritizes local consumption and recognizes food as a human right. Noah outlines the disparities in food accessibility, where a significant percentage of crops are grown for commodity rather than for human consumption. Efforts are being made to establish a local food economy by increasing food production for local needs and addressing the challenges faced by the most vulnerable populations. The conversation touches on issues such as poverty, housing costs, and the implications they have on food access, while exploring initiatives like community gardening to directly meet local food needs. The podcast highlights REAP Food Group's involvement in community outreach and policy work aimed at creating a sustainable and equitable food system.
