Rootstock Radio host Anne O'Connor speaks with Eric Holt-Gimnez, executive director of Food First. Eric grew up working on farms and fishing boats in California, and after studying rural education and biology in college, he traveled through Mexico and Central America, where he was drawn to the simple life of small-scale farmers. Since then, he's been fighting for change in the food system and its surrounding structures. Among other things, he talks about the research that made Frances Moore Lapp's book, Diet for a Small Planet, so revolutionary. Produced for Sprouts by Charlie Knower from Rootstock Radio.
