Frances Moore Lappé

Today we sit down with iconic food writer and activist Frances Moore Lappé.  In the 1970's, Lappé pioneered the idea of conscientious eating with her book “Diet for a Small Planet”.  Now forty years later, she says much has changed.  There's more awareness of the connections between food, health, and the environment, yet there's also growing world hunger requiring she says a complete global re-think.  Lappé is coming up to New Hampshire at the end of the week to be the Keynote Speaker at the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire (NOFA-NH) 10th Annual Winter Conference.  We'll talk with her about this connection between the local food movement and world hunger. 

Guest

  • Frances Moore Lappe - Author of many books on food including "Diet for a Small Planet" and her latest book "EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want".  She's also  founder of the Small Planet Institute.
