Welcome!

Welcome to "Provenance: A conversation about how we eat"! On this site, we will explore the many dimensions of the food and agricultural system upon which billions of people depend for nourishment every day. That system is in a state of transition as we question how to weigh the human and environmental health trade-offs, economic costs, social effects, and nutritional benefits of the food we eat.

Provenance will be a place for a multitude of voices from the global food landscape to come through, for anyone who wants to have a stronger connection to the farmers and producers, food processors, cooks, policy makers, food companies, and hungry people that are a part of this diverse agricultural ecosystem. It will be a place to understand where we are now, consider where we need to go, and generate new ideas about how we can get there. I hope you will join me!
