Could we design a US food system without European influences? What might we learn from indigenous peoples and indigenous food systems to ensure food sovereignty and reverse our climate crisis?
In this week’s episode of New Food Order, we discuss this and more with The James Beard Foundation award-winning chef Sean Sherman and founder of The Sioux Chef, Owanmi, Natifs and Indigenous Food Lab.
