Food not only connects us, it also plays a pivotal role in some of humanity's greatest challenges: from climate change and biodiversity loss, to health and healing, to social justice and inclusion.
In The Food Principle, we explore this idea together with our viewers, transporting them into adventures side-by side visionaries fighting at the front lines of conservation & community. Our expert guides in this quest range from indigenous farmers to world-renowned chefs, from coastal fishermen to crop scientists, from food waste entrepreneurs to social impact restaurateurs, and many more.
The global backdrop for this vivid gustatory expedition is equally wide-ranging: from tropical rainforests to urban jungles, seed labs to secret gardens, and from lofty mountains to the high seas. Throughout, we hope to inspire wonder, empathy and action, and to learn how each of us can make a difference, whether at home in our communities or halfway around the world. Together, let's plant a better planet!
The Food Principle Season 1 airs on PBS stations and streams for free on PBS online as well as on PBS Food's YouTube Channel. Production for Season 2 begins in May 2024.
