Marion Nestle is arguably one of the world’s most important voices regarding food policy, politics, safety, and study. She founded the nation’s first Food Studies program, at New York University, and has authored several seminal books including Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health, What To Eat, Safe Food: The Politics of Food Safety, Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eat, and more.

Now she’s published a “foodoir” about how she came to late-in-life success worldwide. It's called Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics. Clark Wolf digs into this fascinating story as a preview to her visit to Sonoma County later in the fall.

Connor Murphy is the recently appointed Farm Manager at what has been called the “Nation’s Best College Farm” providing a home for its many academic and community programs.

We talk food, land, farming, and stewardship plus learn a bit more about what it takes to achieve this sort of position.

While the election won’t officially be certified until December, preliminary results have come in for Sonoma County and show Measure P has passed. It will give more funding to the County's law enforcement watchdog agency - called the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach, or IOLERO.

Sonoma County’s Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach, or IOLERO, is charged with auditing misconduct cases and improving the community’s trust in law enforcement. But some say it doesn’t have enough funding to do its job. That’s where Measure P comes in. If passed, the measure would secure more independence and funding for the office. KRCB’s Adia White spoke with the former director, Jerry Threet, about what the office does and why he believes it needs more funding.
