Happy Tuesday and welcome to Food Fix! I’m Jenny Hopkinson, a recovering journalist, food and ag policy wonk and Food Fix aficionado. I’m thrilled to be your guest host today as Helena continues to take time with her herd of future food policy nerds.

To be sure, my name may sound familiar: Way back in 2013, I worked with Helena to launch POLITICO Pro Ag and was the original author of POLITICO’s Morning Ag. After almost five years of covering GMO labeling and biotechnology, environmental regulations, USDA leadership and a slew of other issues at POLITICO, I pivoted to the government relations side of the ag policy world. Following stints at the Congressional Research Service and National Farmers Union, I am currently advising food and ag companies and organizations at FGS Global (formerly Glover Park Group). If you have any questions, feedback or just want to say hello, please drop me a line at jenny.hopkinson@fgsglobal.com.
