A New Model for Farmland Access + Seasonal Creamy Pasta with Kristina Villa
Episode 28
Tuesday, 25 February, 2025

In this episode of Women in Food, I sit down with the passionate and inspiring Kristina Villa—farmer, advocate, and Co-Executive Director of Farmers Land Trust. Kristina’s journey is deeply personal, from experiencing food insecurity as a child to dedicating her life towards ensuring farmers have long-term, affordable access to land. Kristina vulnerably shares how her own experiences with food scarcity shaped her commitment to land access and why she believes decommodifying farmland is crucial for the future of sustainable agriculture. We dive deeper into the innovative models Farmers Land Trust is developing to make farmland more accessible to new young farmers, also discuss the broader impact of land stewardship on food systems, communities, and the environment. Of course, no episode would be complete without a little kitchen magic! Kristina shares her go-to “Choose Your Own Adventure” Seasonal Creamy Pasta recipe—an endlessly adaptable dish that celebrates the beauty of cooking with whatever fresh, seasonal ingredients you have on hand. Tune in for a conversation filled with heart, purpose, and a deep love for food, land, and the people who nourish us all.
