In this episode, we're joined by Zach Elfers to talk about tree crop breeding history, creating marketable products from tree crops, and bridging the present with the past. What is our role in building future food systems that we may never see, and how can we do this while engaging with our beliefs around equitable business models? These questions frame up how the Keystone Tree Crop Cooperative operate and build up their business model to showcase what our food system can look like when centered around native tree crops, and offer us a novel way to think about food and industry.
