Company description

The New Food Economy. A magazine for people who want to understand food.  We’re in the middle of the biggest cultural sea change this country has undergone in more than fifty years. Intense public interest in how we eat has turned food systems into front page news. Front page news? Yes, but it’s more complicated than that. Production is changing. Distribution is changing. Technology is changing.  All that change needs an interpreter. We’ve made the new food economy our entire beat. We believe that food journalism, like the food movement itself, should look beyond the what and get inside the how. Because people and process are every bit as interesting as what ends up on your plate.  So we write for the practitioner, the investor, the intelligent consumer, and the curious observer. Sure, we report on the farm and the fork. But we think the best stories are the ones that make sense of everything (and everyone) in between.
