Have you ever wondered why some of your favorite foods seem harder to find—or why they're changing?
In this episode of Rooted & Restless, Marianne Smith Edge sits down with registered dietitian, chef, and farmer's daughter Amy Myrdal Miller to explore the forces shaping the foods we enjoy every day.
Using Florida's citrus industry as a real-world example, Amy explains how citrus greening disease has dramatically changed orange production and how researchers and growers are working to protect one of America's most recognizable crops.
But the conversation goes beyond citrus to answer a question many consumers ask: Why don't farmers just grow something else? Amy breaks down the economic realities behind farming decisions—from specialized equipment and infrastructure to reliable markets and financial risk.
Together, she and Marianne explore why growing our food requires long-term planning, adaptability, and innovation. The episode wraps up in the kitchen as Amy shares simple ways to enjoy the season's freshest produce and previews her upcoming cookbook featuring simple 2-ingredient, heart-healthy recipes.
