Last week\u2019s conversation on New Mexico in Focus was all about food waste and food justice, and I loved getting the chance to learn from panelists Sandra West (City of Albuquerque), Amanda Rich (Three Sisters Kitchen), and Anton Becker-Stumpf (Southwest Organizing Project).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the show, the three talked about the problems, the solutions, and what people can do right now to address food waste and associated problems like climate change, food justice, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accompany the show, our website includes links to all the studies, organizations, businesses, tipsheets, and information the three panelists mention. <\/a>While they were talking, I also jotted down some advice for myself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Ask grocers what they do with expired food, especially produce. (If they\u2019re tossing it, share info about food rescue & other opportunities & support grocery stores that are being responsible.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Buy local produce & support local farmers & food producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Buy the ugly produce to keep it from being tossed. It doesn\u2019t have to be perfect looking to taste good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Keep food out of landfills by composting (either at home, through a service, or by dropping off kitchen scraps at community compost collectors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u2022 Get your hands in the ground! Learn how to grow food & connect with the food cycle & community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, we all need to consider what Amanda Rich said during the show about food access, food prices, food waste, and food justice: \u201cThis whole conversation really has to be couched in this larger issue of economic justice because as we know, it\u2019s not a matter of not enough food, it\u2019s a matter of food distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can watch all three segments of the conversation on our homepage. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of economic justice, coming up this week, my guest is Arturo Sandoval, founding director of the Center of Southwest Culture.<\/strong> Sandoval, a longtime civil rights activist, was one of the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(By the way: I wanted to use these photos of the organizers, including Sandoval, from Life Magazine, but they wouldn\u2019t grant us the rights to show them during a broadcast show, so please go check them out here.<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandoval talks with me about that first Earth Day and what has changed since 1970 \u2014 and about his vision for the future. It\u2019s an awesome conversation and I can\u2019t wait for it to air. I promise that it will be refreshingly free of greenwashing or corporate public relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
