A Thought for Food

April 02, 2021 • Nina Dar • Season 2 • Episode 4

Welcome to season 2 of The Change Troubleshooter, the sustainability season.

In today’s episode, “A Thought for Food”, we are off, thanks to the magic of Zoom, to the frigid shores of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada where Nina meets Bonita Gionet, who, in her own words is a pragmatic, curious, forward thinking civil engineer, project manager, lifelong learner and coach with a passion for food.

For more than 20 years, Bonita has been involved in local food systems, as a consumer, food co-operative member, Community Shared Agriculture subscriber and also as a vendor at several Farmer’s Markets. She knows her onions, so to speak. Based in Kincardine on the snowy shores of Lake Huron, Nina caught up with her to discuss the important role food plays in the quest for sustainability.
