Jennifer Stojkovic on Our Broken Food System & Ways it Can Be Repaired

Sustainable Dish Podcast

It’s no secret that our food system is broken. Food production has been consolidated and corporatized, leading to the illusion of choice and abundance. The reality is a landscape of nutrient-poor, ultra-processed convenience food. As a nation, we are overfed, and undernourished, and “lifestyle” diseases are compromising our health and happiness.

On today’s show, my co-host, James Connolly, sits down for an in-depth conversation with Jennifer Stojkovic. Jennifer is a food-tech leader, founder of Vegan Women Summit (VWS), and author of The Future of Food is Female.

That’s right - Jennifer advocates for plant-based eating!

She is also passionate about tapping into the potential of women to change the food system. Her book, The Future of Food is Female, features women who are using their expertise and wisdom to change the food industry.

Listen to this episode with an open mind. While I don’t wholeheartedly agree with everything Jennifer states during the conversation, she hits on many of the same points we’ve discussed in previous episodes.

It’s time to see past our differences and look for common ground.

James and Jennifer dive into a nuanced and respectful discussion around many hot-button issues plaguing the current food environment.
