Civil Eats: Promoting Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems

Paula Crossfield, editor-at-large of Civil Eats, and Naomi Starkman, editor-in-chief, discuss creating the web site, which is a daily news source for critical thought about the American food system and was just awarded the Publication of the Year Award by the James Beard Foundation. Founded in January 2009, Civil Eats is a community resource of over 100 contributors who are shifting the conversation around sustainable agriculture in an effort to build economically and socially just communities.
