Even though March is Women's History Month, it's also important to highlight women who are reshaping the food system in real time. Today we are talking about Tanya Denise Fields. She founded the Black Feminist Project, an organization that looks at the intersection of food and reproductive, class, gender, and racial justice to empower Black women, girls, non-men, and marginalized genders. The organization enriches women’s lives by crafting accessible, multigenerational, radical women-led programs, including their Food Box Program and she hosts classes and teaches her followers how to cook more affordable and diverse meals.

Since March is also Women's History Month, there are key women that helped shape the American food and agriculture system. Today, we want to focus on Dr. Mary Engle Pennington "The Ice Woman". She was a chemist and served in President Hoover's Food Administration, USDA, and the FDA. Dr. Pennington revolutionized the food supply chain and distribution system by developing safe and sanitary methods for processing, storing and shipping dairy products, poultry, eggs and fish. In addition to instilling food safety and preservation practices, she helped design and evaluate transportation and storage mediums aimed at maintaining low temperatures to reduce bacteria counts in refrigerated and frozen foods. #womenhistory #womeninfood ...
