Ep. 308: Medium Food




State of the Human show

Summary: We take the show to San Francisco, visiting the foggy gardens of the Sunset and the sunny fruit stands of the Mission, and even the rooftops in the Tenderloin. We talk to a new breed of urban farmers and we meet an earth scientist, a chef, a salvadorian emigrant, a city rat, a country mouse, and a whole class of third graders to figure out how urban farming has become a medium for profound changes in the daily life of urbanites. In our last segment we return to Stanford to find out how students are changing their own relationship to the their environment through our new favorite medium, food.
