This week on Method to the Madness, Friday, October 28th @ noon, host Lisa Kiefer interviews Haleh Zandi, co-founder and Educational Director of Planting Justice, a Bay Area non-profit growing local, sustainable food systems, green jobs, and healthy communities.
Planting Justice believes everyone should have equal access to food, jobs, and education. Since 2009, it has built over 400 edible permaculture gardens in the Bay Area, worked with five high schools to develop food justice curriculum, and created 20 green jobs for men transitioning from prison in the food justice movement. Haleh received her MA in Postcolonial Anthropology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and a BA in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
