Diane Hatz is a founder and executive director of Change Food - a non profit. Change Food organizes different types of marketing events around food and marketing. Her dream is to find a way to be self supporting and not have to worry about the constant fundraising and handouts that come with keeping a non-profit running. She also refuses to sell out to big sponsors at the cost of her company's integrity. Diane feels that its important to take the food movement outside the bubble, for people to connect in a real sense and learn from each other through a broader reach. She feels the market needs to focus on sustainability issues, and that market forces rather then company leaders are driving the direction that companies are going. The upcoming Change Food Fest in New York City will be available on live stream around the country. - changefood.org - Diane’s website - changefood.org/changefoodlibrary/ - Change Food’s Video Library - Facebook @ChangeFood - Twitter @changeourfood - changefood.org/projects/tedxmanhattan/ - Diane's Tedx Talks. - changefood.org/projects/change-food-festival/ - The Change Food Festival due to take place later this year. - ewg.org - The Environmental Working Group Website - consumersunion.org - The Consumers Union Site - foodandwaterwatch.org - an organization which focuses on corporate and government accountability relating to food, water, and fishing. - Interview by Andrew D.
