Detroit needs food infrastructure, not just food charity

Part of the affordability crisis hitting American families is happening on our plates. Tariffs, labor shortages, and trucking problems are driving food prices up — and in Detroit, many households face food insecurity, Congress just gutted the federal safety net millions of families depend on.

Natosha Tallman of the Northend Christian Community Development Corporation says the answer isn't more charity. It is infrastructure: commercial kitchens, cold storage, distribution, and ownership. She joined host Robyn Vincent to discuss the system her team is building, where Detroiters grow food, process it, sell it, and keep the money.
