Join Peggy O’Neil, host of Food For The Future, presented by Platinum Elite sponsor, Burnbrae Farms and Bronze sponsor, Middlesex Federation of Agriculture– a hope-inspiring show that brings the Humanities to today’s food dialogue, by showcasing everyday people trying to make a difference.
Food for the Future shares encouraging stories from family farmers, “big thinkers”, conservationists, and artisans who dedicate their lives to growing a brighter future in their communities and our world through “food for thought”, innovation, agri-food traditions, and leadership. Listen each week to see how you can contribute to our way forward together.
