Every one of us at every level should starve our distraction and feed our focus when it comes to food insecurity. If we focus on Food First in all of our endeavors and ask the question of the priority of food in all of our efforts - a major cultural shift will take place in our state.

Hear from influencers that are making Food First a reality. In this episode we have Carl Bednarski, president of Michigan Farm Bureau; State Senator Peter MacGregor and State Representative Angela Witwer; and Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist.

A little tease of the powerful conversations that were had:
Carl discusses how food security starts in the field with the farmers, not the grocery stores. Senator MacGregor and Representative Witwer do a joint interview to share their passion for hunger being the one issue that unites us all. Lastly, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist discusses governance being a full-contact sport and helping people where they're at - not where you want them to be.

We are thankful for the role that food security plays in all of our guests thought process - they are helping create the movement of FOOD FIRST!

Starve distraction and feed your focus

“HUNGER IS NOT BETTER THAN WE ARE, IT IS NOT BIGGER THAN WE ARE, AND IT IS NOT BEYOND US TO SOLVE.”
Featuring innovative leaders from government, industry and nonprofit organizations, Food First is a platform for sharing ideas and, more importantly, solutions to end food insecurity. Dr. Knight is a tireless advocate, believing that Michigan, the nation’s second most diverse agricultural state, can prove that hunger is not better, not stronger, and not smarter than us.
