Affordable healthy diet: wild food & fairness [Part 4- Ep 87]
The topic of Wild Food & Fairness is a large and complex one. I wanted to chip in, share and discuss with you some thought bytes from time to time. This is part 4 (even though in the recording I say it is part 3). Parts 1, 2, and 3 you can find in episodes 76, 80, 83, respectively. In this one I tune into the topic of the State of Food Security and Nutrition, much discussed globally following the release of the 2020 UN report on the topic. Two out of five people in the world cannot afford a healthy diet, and food inflation is rising. Most of those who cannot afford a healthy diet live in tropical countries with abundant biodiversity in both cultivated and wild food varieties. That is the irony. A diet can be healthy to humans only if it is also healthy for the soil, for the earth. Millets and tubers, wild weedy food found locally, in rural or urban areas have a lot to offer as a solution.
