The television special Hunger in the Valley of Plenty examines the broken food system in California's San Joaquin Valley, and its health impacts for some of the state's poorest residents. The special paints an intimate portrait of a farmworker family struggling with access to healthy and affordable produce, despite the fact that it grows all around them (reported by Sasha Khokha, KQED Central Valley Bureau Chief); takes a hard look at the attempts to improve the Central Valley school lunch system, which mainly serves prepackaged and processed foods (reported by Natasha Del Toro, CIR); and introduces a grassroots effort to rescue produce from farms and teach low-income residents in the town of Pixley how to incorporate it into their diet (reported by Khokha). The television special is produced by Scott Anger; the executive producers are Joanne Elgart Jennings, Victoria Mauleon and Steve Talbot.
