We invite you to watch our interview with Michael Dimock, president of Roots of Change, a California based organization focused on creating a sustainable food system by the year 2030. ROC was founded “in 1999, [when] a group of California-based foundations came together to explore the challenges facing the current industrialized food system and to discover a means to maximize the impact of their investments in pursuit of a healthier system.” Michael has been a strong advocate and supporter of Edible City, and sat down to speak with us in October of 2008.
In the interview, Michael defines the concept of a foodshed, the importance of changing language in regards to food policy, the farm bill, how to get politicians to care about food policy, his own personal history with the food system, what a sustainable food system in the San Francisco Bay Area may look like and more.
