03 - Kaitlin Packer, Agriculture Writer

In this episode of Feeding Innovation Podcast, we speak to Agriculture Writer Kaitlin Packer.

Kaitlin shares about her experience of realizing that writing was her passion, and discovering a creative career in agriculture and farming was for her. We also talk about how opinions around food and agriculture differ between rural and urban communities. How emerging technologies like social media can both be a bridge, and widen that gap, depending on how they're used.
