Video Snack: David Schwartz on Why the Food Movement is a Healing Movement

David is the Campaign Director at Real Food Challenge. He graduated from Brown University in December 2009, where he spent more time organizing with the Real Food Challenge than he did in class.

Coming from a Jewish household, where issues of economic and racial justice were common dinner table discussions, David came to the world of food justice and sustainable agriculture in high school and hasn’t looked back. On campus, he helped start a student garden, a local distribution scheme for local produce, and a campaign to redirect over $1 million of school food dollars to “real food.

He spoke at UVM’s Food Systems Summit in June 2012. To learn more about the 2013 Food Systems Summit, please click here.
