Cooking Up a Story (CUpS) is an online television show and blog about people, food, and sustainable living. The Show offers a variety of original short-form programming.

CUpS: Stories delivers documentary shorts filmed on-location, whose stories are told in the voice of the subject to reveal the character and passion of those committed to sustainable food and agriculture. CUpS: Food News provides in-depth interviews with experts on the science, politics, and culture of food that delves below the surface of important issues that impact our food system, and the world.

The essence of CUpS is about people; farmers and artisan food producers, and others, whose lives center around the broad themes of sustainable food and agriculture— from the farm to its ultimate destination—the table. 		345
