Eddie Hill, co-founder of Food Loop Northwest, shares his vision for transforming Oregon's food system into a model of sustainability and resilience. Drawing on Oregon's rich agricultural heritage, Eddie highlights the stark contrast between the state's food abundance and the troubling levels of food insecurity among its residents.

He passionately argues for treating food as critical infrastructure — akin to utilities. This can ensure its sustainability and availability, especially in crisis situations.

Eddie's call to action is clear: integrate technology, strengthen community ties, and transform food production to protect both ecological and human health. His approach not only addresses the immediate challenges of food waste and insecurity but also sets a course for long-term community resilience and health.
