The NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias “Sustainability Series”
The NOLADrinks Show “Sustainability Series” brings you important conversations connected to the world of drink, food, and culture. We take a wide view of what that means. Topics include environmental issues, social justice, and health and wellness. The series looks at these themes as they relate to the liquor industry, the hospitality industry, food and food production, cultural preservation, and much more.
The idea of sustainability has always been of great importance to me. I worked for nearly ten years in environmental non-profits. The lion’s share of that was coral reef and marine protected area work in the developing world. As I moved into the wine industry, much of the project work there was connected to sustainability in the vineyard – both from an ecological standpoint and a human one.
Themes of learning from and respecting different cultures, backgrounds, and realities have always been central to me. They are central to this series, as well. The NOLADrinks Show “Sustainability Series” seeks to be informative and, at times, challenging. I look forward to the continued opportunities to learn from it and I hope you do, too!
Cheers, You All!
~ Bryan
