Miranda Lipton is a writer and food systems aficionado. Her work is driven by the desire to build a healthier, more resilient, and community-oriented food system. 

​

As a journalist she's covered stories about consolidation in the meat industry, how biofortification could help replenish nutrients in vegetables, and the cultural context of Mexico's policy fight against US-grown genetically modified corn.

 

She's also covered how seaweed consumption can reduce methane emissions in cattle, and the unusual ways that black soldier flies are transforming the organic waste industry.

​

Based in NYC, Miranda also aims to create more opportunities for people to source high quality food and be connected to its origins in ways that city-living at times makes difficult.

 

Her latest project, Your Seat at the Table, is a bi-weekly dinner series that encourages group discussion around these topics, as well as locally and ethically sourced produce turned home-cooked meals for all to share. During the school year, she works as a culinary educator at public schools across NYC teaching healthy cooking practices.

​

She is also a 2025 John's Hopkins Food and Public Health Fellow.

I (I mean she), look forward to connecting! :)
