I was pretty inspired to hear Allison’s story of walking her beliefs for so many years, and what she’s learned. Everyone you have ever met touches the food system, in which Allison’s centered her advocacy efforts. Protecting human health, preventing climate change, preserving habitats, effecting farmed animal welfare, and improving the economy. While Alison’s work has focused on the Canadian system, I suspect that similar changes can apply to many places. Allison Penner is the Executive Director of Reimagine Agriculture (ReAg), which is helping to create a sustainable, resilient, and compassionate food system. She fights food waste and loss, educates the public, and advocates for policy to enable meat alternatives. She studied Environmental Governance and Political Science at Guelph, and was named a Clean50 Emerging Leader of 2023. Thanks to my amazing producer Chad Clarke for being essential in putting this show together. All mistakes are mine.
