On “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg,” Dani speaks with Dr. Veronica Womack, the inaugural Executive Director of the Rural Studies Institute at Georgia College & State University and a Professor of Political Science and Public Administration. They discuss the reasons behind the underdevelopment of the Black Belt in the American South—and the resilience that has persisted in spite of it; the storytelling that is essential to amplifying people’s voices and connecting one another; and how Womack is working to use the resources of her institution to encourage rural development, support entrepreneurs from farmers to food businesses, and best meet the needs voiced by the community.
