Citizen Chef with Tom Colicchio

Season Finale: True Cost Accounting w/ Lisa Held

We’re closing out the season with a look at “True Cost Accounting.” There is a growing movement to include “true cost accounting” or TCA when considering the cost of food -- which can be far more than what you pay in a supermarket. Our guest today, food journalist and <a href="https://heritageradionetwork.org/series/farm-report">The Farm Report host Lisa Held</a> is quite familiar with that report and cited it in her article for Civil Eats entitled<a href="https://civileats.com/2021/08/26/can-accounting-for-the-true-cost-of-food-change-the-global-food-system/"> “Can Accounting for the True Cost of Food Change the Global Food System?”</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
