You may not think of food and the food supply as a political issue, but it truly is.
Think about it... there are elected officials who are making important decisions about agricultural policy.
Unfortunately, many of those officials are making poor decisions when it comes to the safety of the food supply and the American public.
Lisa Stokke knows this all too well. She began to see what was coming down the pike politically when she and her partner worked with the initial Obama Presidential campaign in Iowa.
And while the resulting Secretary of Agriculture appointee wasn't who she necessarily wanted, Lisa and her team knew they had made an impact on the administration.
That's when they founded Food Democracy Now!, an organization to help raise awareness about food quality, safety and sustainability.
Tune in to learn more about this forward thinking organization, as well as ways you can advocate for healthy food in your area.
