Episode Description

Food Supply Chain Safety

This program outlines the major links in the food supply chain; grower, processor / packer, transportation, wholesale, retail/foodservice and consumer. The National School Lunch Program is used as an example in this program to demonstrate the science, technology and policy currently in place that ensure safe food is delivered into our nation's lunch rooms.

In this episode, we closely worked with the USDA to ensure our content was accurate and represents current issues and practical solutions. The USDA provided Feast Or Famine with interviews in their Washington D.C. offices from senior USDA Ag Marketing Service (AMS) administrators such as Lloyd Day, Ken Clayton and Steve Olson. Feast Or Famine also interviewed Donna Shalala former U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services, Barry Carpenter, Executive Director of the National Meat Association and Shelley Feist, Executive Director of Fight BAC.

Each of these organizations will be provided a master copy to educate their targeted food production / processor audience. The program itself will reach a broader audience of scientists, researchers, food production business owners and industry professionals.

The program’s content has been shaped by the Feast Or Famine producers in conjunction with our board of advisors made up of food industry professionals, scientists and professors. Having already gathered and interviewed these leading experts our goals for editing the upcoming half hour show on the Food Supply Chain are as follows:

1. Inform our viewers about food industry and best practices that have proven to be successful

2. Create an educational program that will be utilized at industry tradeshows, expositions, conferences, symposiums, etc.

3. Create a program that will be useful for educators with scientifically accurate information

4. Provide the program sponsors, underwriters and benefactors branding and exposure around the world
