Ep. 49: Karen Karp<\/strong> – CEO & founder of KK&P ||<\/h3>\n
\n

Karen Karp is a fourth-generation food entrepreneur. Her great grandfather Morris, a first generation immigrant from Ukraine, opened a butter, eggs, and cheese wholesale outlet on Manhattan\u2019s far west side, and later a feed and seed company on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn. Karen\u2019s father served the farmers of Long Island\u2019s East End as a real estate broker concentrating on industrial and agricultural properties, and brokered the country\u2019s first Transfer of Development Rights deal in the 1970s. \u00a0This stuff and that area are in her blood. \u00a0Karen\u00a0Karp is now leveraging her diverse background in food and its production, in public health, and within investment communities in The City to empower more young women to assess things differently; to take more control of their own destinies.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"For episode 49 of Sourcing Matters we focus on Karp’s recent project – \u201cInvestigating the Role of Women, Capital, and the Transformation of Food and Agriculture.\u201d<\/em> Co-chaired by leadership at AgFunder and ‘The New Food Economy’, this analysis sets to find some answers to timely and important questions that we all need to pay more attention to. \u00a0As sons, husbands, brothers & fathers – we all need to pay better attention too.\u00a0 Since establishing Karen Karp & Partners in 1990 she’s focused efforts on developing a range of bespoke strategies that explore the interconnections between agriculture, food, policy and people, and how to marry common interests of the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. KK&P has grown to become a nationally respected boutique consultancy with a uniquely skilled staff and a diverse roster of clients – including nearly a decade co-producing the James Beard Foundation conference.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karen and her team are equally adept in the boardroom, in the kitchen, or on the land \u2013 their systems-based approach is always both conceptually rigorous and grounded in practical understanding.\u00a0Have a listen to our discussion about finding gender equality in innovation economies; at the workplace; at home; within food and its production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
