Climate Change, Plants, and Ecology with Planthropology's Vikram Baliga

What's the Alternative?

NOTE: At about 1hr into the show, Vikram discusses the nutritional content of fresh foods vs foods picked long before consumption. He discusses this topic in a bit more detail around 6min into Episode 53 of Planthropology, which deals with how we grow fruit.

This episode is just a delight. I absolutely loved this conversation with Vikram, we meandered around the topics of climate change's effects on agriculture, society's relationship with the natural world, equity and the food ecosystem, and everything else under the sun. I hope you enjoy this episode at least 1/4 as much as I enjoyed participating in this discussion, if so then you're in for a delightful time.

Vikram is an amazing podcast host who runs Planthropology, a podcast about plants, the natural world, humans, and the intersection of all those things. I think of it as a love letter to the natural world, a celebration of plants and nature, a conversation about the interconnectedness of all living things on our beautiful planet.
