Bryant Terry
IN A NUTSHELL
Urban chef, educator and author Bryant Terry will put the culture back into agriculture by looking through an anthropological lens at how food can spark revolutionary shifts in people’s habits, attitudes, and politics.
ABOUT BRYANT

Bryant is passionate about putting the culture back into agriculture, and getting people to eat real food. Bryant is Chef in Residence at the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco.
