Accounting for the Invisible Costs of our Food System — Tim West

Tim West is a Slow Food chef turned Social Entrepreneur and Food Futurist. He was recognized as one of Zagat’s 30 under 30 Food-World Up-and-Comers for his work producing Food Hackathons and has since served as a Fellow4Good at the Institute for the Future and Global Ambassador to the Future Food Institute. His areas of interest include: mountain biking, climbing, local food systems, food as medicine, and permaculture. He now lives in Bellingham, WA, Pacific Northwest where he plans to get a farm dog.

Today, Tim talks to us about the importance of true cost accounting — why corporations need to pay for the environmental and social costs they offload. He also shares case studies of regenerative and scalable businesses he's backing.
