THE TRUE COST OF FOOD: A Case For Hyper-Regional Food Production

Care More Be Better: Circular Living To Benefit People and Planet | a circle b podcast

The true cost of food is something that we all need to be more concerned with, given rising temperatures, worsening weather, and growing populations around the globe. How much did your food cost in terms of water, energy, transportation, and waste? This topic is top of mind for many reasons this week. If you've heard it before, I encourage you to listen again, while truly thinking about what your favorite meal's true cost really is.

Corinna Bellizzi, show host, is presently in her first course in a PhD program in sustainability at Prescott College. As the episode commences, she shares her present lens, and why she's chosen to re-share this episode, originally published on November 8, 2023.
