Food: A Project Envision Documentary

"Envision San Diego" explores issues that affect those living and working in San Diego County. Hosted by Joanne Faryon, the "Envision" team sheds light on local concerns through extensive research and personal storytelling. You learn what's happening and why it’s happening. But we won't tell you what to think; we'll give you the facts and analysis that help you make informed choices.

In this episode, KPBS follows your dinner from the plate to the field, farm and ocean. We try to track a steak from the grocery store to the ranch and we find out how the poultry industry has responded to our demand for more white meat. Our investigation also reveals some surprising facts about what’s in your farmed salmon. And the oranges San Diego buys, many of them come from thousands of miles away despite the fact we grow more than 95,000 tons of oranges in our own county.
