Description

This week on The Farm Report host Erin Fairbanks sits down with Dennis Derryck, Tusha Yakovleva, and Sabrina Wilensky of Corbin Hill Farm, which is a for-profit social venture that is trying to re- imagine the relationship between communities, farmers, and investors. Their business model, called farm-sharing, is different than a CSA and allows them to reach out to low-income communities living in food deserts in the Bronx and Harlem and provide fresh produce sourced from rural communities in New York State. Tune in for conversation spanning risk management in farms to how academia is helping change the food world. This episode is sponsored Jones Family Farms.

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.
