The Food Radio Project is a podcast that focuses on the food system in India, from seed to landfill. Each episode brings together voices from the grassroots, academia and policy arenas to offer an insight into current issues of food and resource use. It is a new media platform to examine the culture, politics, economics and environmental impact of the country’s food system.
Developed as a master’s thesis project at New York University, pilot episodes were constructed from a series of Skype interviews over the course of Spring 2016.
