Summary

Mark and Kate talk with Alice Waters, founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project, and Spence Medford, senior vice president at The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. Together, they analyze why there are reasons to be optimistic about school lunch, and especially about school-supported agriculture. The team's new project – School Lunch across America – is working on furthering the mission of great food for America's kids. And there’s more, as Alice (especially) discusses the critical importance of the relationship between school and food.
