Episode #51 - Kris De la Torre of the Academy for Global Citizenship

As the Director of Sustainability and School Food for the Academy for Global Citizenship, this week’s guest is piloting a revolutionary new way of thinking about food in schools, with a holistic system that integrates environmental justice, urban farming, and equity into the school’s curriculum and structure — right in the heart of Chicago. With a master’s degree in Human Development and Education from Harvard, a true passion for complexity, and a diverse body of experience in food and hospitality, Kris De La Torre’s vision for a better food future is as convincing as it is utopian. She sits down with us to tell us all about her unconventional trajectory, give us a crash course on the cheesemaking process, provide some nuanced perspective on the Blue Hill controversy, and so much more.
