My guest this week is Margaret Brown, NRDC’s (Natural Resource Defense Council) first Food Law fellow. She has been working to build a better food system in the New York region—specifically using legal tools and policy reforms to help sustainable farmers, encourage the development of key regional infrastructure, and leverage the power of large institutional purchasers for regional and sustainable food. Margaret also has a personal connection to farming—growing up on her family’s dairy farm in Maryland and working on an organic farm in Maine.
