Our eighteenth guest is Monica Chen, the Executive Director of the New Roots Institute. New Roots educates high school and college students on the devastating impacts of factory farming and supports them as they become advocates for a just and sustainable food system. A veteran teacher, Monica taught environmental education to students at all grade levels and in residential settings, and earned her BA at UC Berkeley and her Master’s in Education at the University of New Mexico.
Welcome to Fork The System — a podcast spotlighting the innovators, researchers, and advocacy leaders reimagining how we feed the world.
