The Hungry Minds series is focused on food entrepreneurs that are promoting the unconventional through business. Today we’re talking to an expert in the world’s oldest profession – Foraging. He has built one of the country’s leading foraging networks into a business that pokes holes in the way food is produced today. We get to hear what a traditionalist thinks about our industrialized food system and consider this a WARNING: against becoming discouraged by his hint of pessimism, I am thrilled to have had the chance to sit in and hear his perspective. Mr. Forbes is an authority on the most ancient of alternatives. You have been listening to the first series in the Community and Company network called Hungry Minds.

The Hungry Minds series is shining a little light on Food Entrepreneurs that are challenging the status quo of our food system. They are building businesses focused on remedying the challenges they are seeing in how we eat food and what we eat. Today’s episode is with a former Wall St. Lawyer turned Urban Farmer. A true trailblazer – He promotes the idea that food is a massive problem that needs addressing now. Therefore, Ahem… it’s an amazing opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to build a business. He talked about the incredible challenges in building Canada’s largest commercial urban farm and how difficult it was to put a new farm in the city – “usually it goes the other way around!” We wrap up by talking about those stupid self-checkout registers popping up at grocery stores!

The Hungry Minds series is looking at the limits of our current food system through the eyes of people actively trying to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Our guest entrepreneur today has thought very deeply on the topics of sustainability and has applied that to the realms of food and agriculture. She promotes the idea that through trying to mimic nature, we can be better stewards of our communities, and the world. The most fascinating part of this chat was hearing the guest use what she knows about sustainability and natural systems to talk about her own journey in entrepreneurship and building a business.
