In this episode, we’ll be speaking with Emily Payne. Emily is a writer covering the intersection of food, agriculture, climate, and health. She focuses on regenerative food systems and profiles farmers in transition to more sustainable practices. She’s served as editor of the global sustainable food nonprofit Food Tank since 2015 and worked with a series of ag-tech startup companies, focusing on how to build technologies that better meet farmers' needs. Her work has appeared in Food Tank, Edible Communities, The Counter, AgFunder News, AG DAILY, Mad Agriculture, Thomson Reuters Foundation, the New York City Food Policy Center, and more. She is based in Denver, Colorado.Emily contributed to the fifth in a series of pieces produced by Edible Communities for publication in Edible magazines across the US and Canada and at ediblecommunities.com. The piece is titled, “Is Plastic Waste the Cost of Eating,” and it was written in collaboration with Food Tank’s founder, Danielle Nierenberg. The piece takes a dive into the piles of what we as consumers do and don’t know about the materials—often single use materials—that wrap and contain almost all the food we eat. We’ll take a look—from the perspective of packaging—at where the buck stops when it comes to the challenges of being a human who eats on a planet in environmental crisis.
