Description

The pandemic drags on, so this is the episode in which we talk about one of the few things that really helps: chocolate. The Farm Report's 2020 season is focused on how farmers and others in the food system are adapting to the new reality of COVID-19. In this episode, Tim McCollum, CEO of Beyond Good, joins host Lisa Held to talk about how his company works directly with cacao growers in Madagascar, what fair and sustainable cacao farming supply chains look like, and how their company has weathered the coronavirus storm.  The Farm Report is powered by Simplecast.

The Farm Report is a show about the people, processes, and policies that shape how food is produced today. From the latest agricultural innovations to the day-to-day challenges of running a viable business growing vegetables and grazing cattle, host Lisa Elaine Held engages in conversations with farmers and farmworkers and the people who work alongside them—like chefs, researchers, activists, and investors. Expect from-the-field insights paired with real-world context as guests explore how producing fresh, delicious food relates to environmental and community sustainability, equality and justice, politics and policy, and better health.
