Wenonah Hauter is executive director of Food &
Water Watch, a watchdog organization focused on corporate and government
accountability as it relates to food, water and fishing. She also runs an
organic family farm in northern Virginia that provides healthy vegetables to
more than 500 families in the Washington, DC area as part of the Community
Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
As one of the nation's leading
healthy food advocates, Hauter believes that the local food movement is not
enough to solve America's food crisis and the public health debacle it has
created. In Foodopoly, she takes aim at the real culprit: the massive
consolidation and corporate control of food production, which prevents farmers
from raising healthy crops and limits the choices that people can make in the
grocery store.
