This is Before The Cutting Board, a weekly round up and analysis of food + supply chain hot topics.
Every Thursday, subscribers receive a list of must-read articles and a breakdown on what’s happening within our food system and our supply chains. The powerful thing about our food is that it intersects with a lot of the issues we’re trying to navigate - the political landscape, climate change, health, the highs and lows of tech’s ever-growing presence in our lives. I help make sense of all that, as it relates to you and the world.
And who exactly are you?
Food and supply chains are kinda my thing. I’m a producer, writer, and food sustainability expert. After years of working with farmers, agribusinesses, and sustainability executives across multiple countries in Africa and Europe, I moved back to the US and founded a production company to develop and host a docuseries called Point of Origin. I’m a former Fulbright Scholar, I have a master's degree in Environment and Development from the London School of Economics, and a BSc in Political Science from Santa Clara University. You can find more of my street cred at @LindseyMAllen_ on Twitter and @lindseymargaretallen on Instagram.
I like the sound of this!
If you enjoy the round-up, tell a few friends and help me spread the word. Even if you don’t enjoy it, tell a friend - misery loves company :)
