Show Notes

Erikson’s Policy and Leadership staff, Atena Danner and Penny Smith, talk about food security and ensuring children get quality and fresh foods, but also food that connects with their different cultures. They respond to an interview with Chef Greg Christian of Beyond Green Partners, an organization making fresh food for preschool students in Chicago and its suburbs, who explains the need to teach children the relationship between food and health.
