I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.

The biggest thing right now, is supporting the people who take care of the environment. We must take care of the people who take care of the land. And so, if 20% of the population is in school, and they are asked to buy this food from farms. I mean at the real cost without a middleman, it could be amazing. It could change farming overnight.

We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.

It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.

How we eat can change the world

I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.

We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
