The Politics of Food and Climate Change: A Reporter's Notebook
Helena Bottemiller Evich '09 is the founder and editor-in-chief of Food Fix, a publication about food policy in Washington and beyond. She previously led food and agriculture coverage at POLITICO for nearly a decade, winning numerous awards, including two James Beard Awards and a George Polk Award, one of the most prestigious honors in journalism. Her 2022 investigation on the FDA's dysfunctional food program and groundbreaking reporting on the infant formula crisis helped fuel one of the biggest reorganizations in FDA’s history.
Before launching POLITICO’s food coverage, Helena was a Washington correspondent for Food Safety News, covering deadly outbreaks and the run-up to Congress passing the biggest update to food safety law in nearly a century.
Evich is a sought-after speaker and commentator on food issues, appearing on CNN, PBS, CBS, BBC and NPR, among others. Her work is widely cited in the media and has also been published in the Columbia Journalism Review and on NBC News.
Ms. Evich’s talk is part of the Roberts Environmental Center’s Sustainable Food Initiative 2024-2025.
