There are 7.5 billion hungry people living here on planet earth.
Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Can the food system that feeds billions be decolonized?
Some of those people still have the wherewithall to grow or hunt down the food they eat. But a good many of us can’t feed ourselves, and so must buy the food we need from others.
The business of growing, processing and selling food has become dominated by a relatively few very big businesses.
Those who want to grow their into the business of food must find some way to compete with those who have become big enough to control and dominate the marketplace.
Today, we are going to talk with folks who are looking for a way to fight their way into the business of food– by decolonizing the food chain…
So pull up a chair, freshen your coffee, and get ready for an hour of what’s- eating-what radio Food Chain Radio… as we ask…

Thanks for your work. As an urban farmer for the last 40 years I agree. The farm I grew up on has become prime real estate. ROI on farming is never exceptional. Single digit returns are the norm and the investment continues to grow even for established farms. There are no Bill Gates, or Elon Musks who made their money farming. It’s a great livelihood though where breaking even and starting another season is the accomplishment and goal.
