Theory meets practice: no magic carrots

We continue our conversation with Dr. Garrett Broad of Fordham University, talking about high school and college students’ experiences working with non-profits and about what students know/should learn about food and food justice.  Students often join non-profits with unrealistic expectations. There are tensions between keeping the organization afloat and pursuing radical change.There are no silver bullets; entrenched problems have complex solutions.  Overview 00:00-00:34 Intros 00:34-06:28 Critique of non-profits 06:28-10:26 High school students’ understanding of food/food justice 10:26-14:12 Gardens, illusions, and social change—no magic carrots 14:12-18:00 Organizations that effectively integrate food into organizing 18:00-22:52 Helping student connect theory and practice 22:52-24:35 Outro Transcript Click here to see the full transcript of this episode.  Soundtrack by Poddington Bear
