My conversation with him was so insightful because, during my days as a raw food chef, my focus was bringing beautiful, delicious AND nutrient dense food to the plate.
In the interview, he shares some really great information about the work he is doing in D.C., just giving food away to food insecure folk. He's also a soil expert, and has done research and trials on different varieties of rice - one of the world's most consumed "caloric" foods!
The real kicker in this episode is, he's writing a book about the history of sustainable agriculture and its origins in the fertile crescent in Egypt. Fascinating...

There's no doubt that sustainable, urban agriculture and growing clean, healthy, organic and local food, has garnered more interest since the food supply chain broke down earlier this year. Remember my episode on food security? (Season One : Episode Three)
It's a real thing, and more people are food insecure than you think. Fortunately, there are people like Che helping to solve that problem. I hope you take a break and listen to the full episode, and share it with someone you love.
Next week's episode is the last episode in Season Three! Yay...and I hope you listen in to that one because I'll be talking about the food supply chain, rising food prices and how countries around the world are stockpiling food....maybe we should follow suit?
Anyway, thanks for listening in, and I'll see you on the other side of the plate.
Chow, Michele
p.s. On Monday, I'll be releasing a BONUS episode with a fellow podcaster and colleague of mine from the Climate Front Line podcast. We'll be talking about building resilience, food and language...stay tuned for that!
I appreciate your listening support!
