At the Table: The Chef’s Guide to Advocacy with Katherine Miller

The U.S. Farm Bill has far-reaching implications for our food systems and our health. Our guest this week, Katherine Miller, shares insights into this piece of legislation and offers tips on how to effectively advocate for food policies. Katherine has built a 20-year career working at the intersections of policy, politics, and social impact. Her new book, "At the Table: The Chef's Guide to Advocacy," highlights ways that people can get involved in food policy and advocacy. It showcases chefs that work on hunger relief efforts, food waste reduction policies, labor, and mental health policies and more. We address questions like:  What is the role of chefs and culinary professionals in helping change the food system?  What are some ways people can get started on political advocacy? What are common mistakes people make when it comes to food advocacy?
