Mark Writes About…
I have heard people refer to Mark as the ‘father of food policy work’ and the ‘guru of food policy councils’. Though a bit cliched, I think people are trying to capture what Mark provides for all of us working in food policy — he inspires us, challenges our thinking, listens to what we need, and is constantly looking for solutions we all can work toward.”
It has taken us several years, and more than a few fits and starts, to get a food systems council off the ground. Through it all, Mark has been available to provide direction (and re-direction!) and gentle but honest feedback. We look to him again and again because he is a good listener and a thoughtful advisor.
Mark is tremendously on-demand, all across the country. This is not just due to his knowledge and experience with the complex and controversial world of food policy, but more so becuase he takes the time to understand local issues, work with communities where they are at, and establish relationships with those he works with.
