E08 Why is it necessary to diversify our food? | The Green Kitchen with Sunita Narain

India has a rich culinary heritage. Our ancestors used local biodiversity to prepare sumptuous meals. They experimented with weeds, tree-borne foods, seeds that can be stored for long periods, plants with short life cycles, and even those parts of cultivated plants that are generally wasted, to create healthy and nutritious recipes.
However, we have steadily lost much of this knowledge and only a few traditional ingredients are now visible in our kitchens. Vestiges of these culinary traditions continue to exist in remote areas of the country.
In the final episode of The Green Kitchen, Vibha Varshney sits with Sunita Narain, the Director General of the Centre For Science and Environment, to discuss the science of food. The discussion focuses on local ingredients that can tackle the ongoing food crisis amid the challenges caused by climate change. Watch the video to learn more.

What's missing here is the concept of team trust - built into the teams culture.

Si anytime being done to promote cultivation, encourage plantation and r n d for a commercial level. Which could increase revenue and job opportunities...

I don’t think she is looking at her plants and fruits as entrepreneurship. She is using it for her consumption and gives to others she knows. She is educating others through media platforms.

Wonderful Sunita Ma'am.

Lovely...😊

What part of India is she growing these fruits? I am hoping that when I retire I can move to south India, however, as a foreigner I can’t buy a property but hopefully I can rent a place to live where the owner will allow me to plant fruits and veggies.

Diversification is good, I suppose, but not many people can afford it.
