The Loneliness Between Us

From your plate to the rest of the world, One Bite Is Everything connects the food you eat to the people, policies, and stories behind it.

This episode started with a letter exchange between Maria Rodale and Wendell Berry, and one line stuck out: "I think lonely people join movements."

Through the For Farmers Movement, we have seen and heard about loneliness and isolation. In fact, it's at the heart of why the Movement started. This is an episode about two kinds of loneliness, and about what happens when the people growing our food and the people eating it actually find each other.
