Primer: Food Systems

Saison 4 · Épisode 1

vendredi 30 octobre 2026 • Durée 06:59

What is a food system and why does defining it matter? In this Better primer, Mark Brand traces the food system from growing and processing to selling, eating, and wasting, while showing how wages, housing, trade, and public policy shape every link in the chain.

The episode explores a difficult contradiction: Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector employs more than 2 million people, yet the meeting cites 9.8 million Canadians, nearly one in four, as living in food-insecure households in 2025. Mark argues that hunger isn’t simply a question of whether enough food exists. It’s also about poverty, affordability, and the rules that determine who can access food.

This episode introduces a season about food insecurity in Canada, food policy, food waste, workers’ rights, grocery industry power, Indigenous food sovereignty, and school food programs. It’s a starting point for understanding how the food system works and how people can change it.

East Coast Credit Union is proud to support Better because we believe meaningful change starts with asking the right questions and challenging the way things have always been done. As Mark Brand explores the systems that shape our lives and meets the people working to improve them, we see a natural connection to our own purpose: using banking as a force for good to improve financial wellbeing, strengthen communities and help people thrive. When our members and communities thrive, we all do.

Season 4 Purpose Recap

Saison 4

vendredi 23 octobre 2026 • Durée 03:35

Where is this season going? Into the systems that shape how food gets grown, made, shared, and accessed, and toward the possibility of making them work better for everyone. We are setting out to demystify the food system: how it works, who it serves, who gets left out, and how people can help change it. Drawing on decades of experience in restaurants, farms, and community food programs, he’ll make big ideas around food access, agriculture, and food justice clearer, more practical, and easier to act on. Because the systems we live with were built by people, and people can build them better. This season is a guide to understanding what’s possible when we work together to make good food and care more accessible to all.

In this episode of Better, host Mark Brand sits down with Nova Scotian diver and content creator Sean “Saltwater Sean” McMullen for a deeply honest conversation about curiosity, healing, and finding purpose beneath the waves. Sean shares how boredom during COVID, a wetsuit from Marketplace, and a couple of vintage soda bottles led to a viral photo, national media attention, and the birth of the Saltwater Sean platform. Along the way, he opens up about sobriety, divorce, tinnitus and hearing loss, childhood bullying, and how diving, magnet fishing, and cleaning up local waterways became a way to reconnect with his inner child, his parents, his kids, and his community. This is a story about environmental action, mental health, and the power of simply doing your own “weird thing” so others feel brave enough to do theirs.

Karen Washington: Food Apartheid and the Fight for Food Justice

Saison 3 · Épisode 16

vendredi 20 février 2026 • Durée 49:50

In this episode of BETTER, host Mark Brand sits down with legendary farmer, organizer, and food justice leader Karen Washington. Together they unpack why the food system “is not broken, it’s doing exactly what it’s geared to do,” and what it really takes to transform it.

Karen traces her journey from a Bronx backyard garden and the first life‑changing bite of a real tomato to decades of urban farming, community organizing, and calling out systemic racism in the food system. She explains why she rejects the term “food desert” in favor of “food apartheid,” and how that shift in language exposes the historical and political forces that determine who gets to eat well.

Mark and Karen also explore:

Life and organizing before the internet—door‑knocking, church basements, and deep listening.
How communities are responding to the dismantling of DEI funding by building local ecosystems and mutual aid networks.
The difference between charity and solidarity, and why nonprofits must drop the savior complex and build long‑term trust and relationships.
The global fight for food sovereignty, seed freedom, and biodiversity.
Karen’s work at Rise & Root Farm in New York’s Hudson Valley—a queer, Black and brown, women‑led farm rooted in social justice and healing.

Throughout, Karen returns to a simple, radical idea: food is a human right, and real change comes when power and land return to us and when we rediscover our connection to one another.

Prequel: Food Apartheid and the Fight for Food Justice

Saison 3 · Épisode 15

vendredi 6 février 2026 • Durée 14:59

In this episode of Better, host Mark Brand reflects on a powerful conversation with farmer, organizer, and food justice leader Karen Washington.

Together they unpack why “food deserts” is the wrong language for the right problem, and why Karen insists we call it what it is: food apartheid.

Mark and Madison explore what true leadership looks like, making complex issues accessible without watering them down, and how Karen’s decades of community organizing, urban farming, and movement-building have reshaped how we think about land, power, and who gets to eat well.

They dive into: Why food is never “just food,” but history, policy, dignity, and power How communities can build ecosystems of trust that don’t rely only on government. The role of youth and elders in driving change together What it takes to move from feeling overwhelmed to believing in and building universal access to food.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn outrage into action, and how ordinary people can do extraordinary things for their communities, this episode is your invitation.
