Food production is a curious business; it's nuanced, layered, complex, and political. In What Doesn’t Kill You, host Katy Keiffer endeavors to identify and explain some of the key issues in our food system through interviews with journalists, authors, scientists, activists, and industry experts. Water rights, meat and agricultural production, food waste, labor issues, and new technologies are just some of the topics explored so we can better understand how to feed the future.
This week on Straight, No Chaser, Katy Keiffer is joined by one of the founders of The Brooklyn Grange, a one-acre rooftop farm in Long Island City. Tune in to hear how the farm was started and how vertical and rooftop farming can play a huge role in the future of agriculture in urban areas. Find out what the guys at The Brooklyn Grange are up to right now, and make sure to vote for them in the BBC’s World Challenge. Vote here!This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
