The Food Explorer (encore)

You've probably never heard of David Fairchild. But if you've
savored kale, mango, peaches, dates, grapes, a Meyer lemon, or a
glass of craft beer lately, you've tasted the fruits of his
globe-trotting travels in search of the world's best crops—and his
struggles to get them back home to the United States. This episode,
we talk to Daniel Stone, author of The Food Explorer, a
new book all about Fairchild's adventures. Listen in now for tales
of pirates and biopiracy, eccentric patrons and painful betrayals,
as well as the successes and failures that shaped not only the way
we eat, but America's place in the world. ENCORE Learn more about
