Mike Haddad of Schreiber Foods and Candace Croney, PhD, from Purdue University discussed racial justice, inclusion and diversity in food and agriculture.
I am constantly amazed at the power of invigorating conversation. In a world frequently filled with tepid exchanges and mundane interactions, it is a joy when gifted with an encounter that challenges, inspires, and opens our eyes because it is authentic, vulnerable, and filled with wisdom. These honest exchanges make us feel more alive. I had that experience last week when – on behalf of the FMI DEI committee - I got to interview Mr. Stephen Leach, Director of Inclusive Content and Engagement, Disney Entertainment/National Geographic. Leach has worked in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion space across several industries including food, hospitality, education, and now entertainment.
