In her role as a cultural anthropologist for Hormel Foods Corporation, Dr. Tanya Rodriguez spends a majority of her professional energy in the field, meeting with consumers in person to learn about their relationships with food and collecting new insights into how food-related decisions are actually made.
Earlier this month, Rodriguez shared some of her acute observations as part of a distinguished panel of industry experts at the "Empowering Eaters: Access, Affordability and Healthy Choices" summit in Chicago, speaking as part of a distinguished panel of industry experts. The summit, hosted by Food Tank — a nonprofit organization committed to food-system education and food security — welcomed guests from the White House and the United Nations Global Compact for a discussion on ideas and solutions for improving food access, affordability and health for consumers.
