Megan Konar - The Science of Food Networks and Water - Megan is a PhD researcher from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her latest co-authored work Food Flows Between Counties in the US examines movement of food, and the systems, businesses, and interoperability required to get the job done. 

Here's a less technical story about the paper. 

Pete A  Turner, sat with Megan when she was in Calif presenting the paper to better understand her work and why it matters. Turns out, without people like Megan, we really are in the dark on an entire complex system and left vulnerable to chance and chaos.

To feed a nation
Resilient or Efficient
Oh and maintenance
