Our Team

Our team is made up of passionate students, educators, and community leaders who are dedicated to environmental and social justice. Together, we spent countless hours researching, recording, and editing the podcast episodes that you see on this website. Our goal was to create a platform for diverse voices to be heard, to shine a light on the often-overlooked realities of industrial agricultural systems, and to inspire change in our San Joaquin Valley communities and beyond. We are proud of the work that we have done, and we hope that our project will serve as a model for future students and educators interested in exploring the intersection of food, agriculture, and social justice.
