Dana Cowin sits down with Andrew Zimmern about mitigating climate change through food
Andrew Zimmern might be best known for eating things like coral worms in Samoa and horse rib and rectum sausage in Kazakhstan, but when podcast host Dana Cowin caught up with him on Progressive Hedonist, he had clearly begun focusing on a new kind of food adventure. He now spends a lot of time addressing issues around sustainability, including producing the extraordinary documentary Hope In the Water with Shailene Woodley and Martha Stewart, among others, acting as global ambassador for both the United Nations World Food Programme and The Nature Conservancy, and so much more. On the podcast, Dana and Andrew discuss ways to mitigate climate change through food including immediate policy change and support from government, investment in green jobs, and speedy adoption of proven sustainable systems by companies. Listen in for stories of Minnesota fish barns, the connection between sobriety and sustainability, and the value of the local butcher.
