In this deeply thoughtful episode of Imagine India Fireside Chats, members of the echo network’s Nutrition consortium come together to explore one of modern India’s most painful contradictions: how a country rich in food, farming traditions, and biodiversity still struggles with widespread malnutrition!

Through honest conversations on indigenous foods, climate resilience, school nutrition, farmer livelihoods, and the fading connection between people and what they eat, Victor Afari-Sefa, Jyosthnaa Padmanabhan, and Kranti Yardi talks about how we need to create change from the ground up.

At its heart, this is a conversation about dignity, memory, health, and hope. It is time to reimagine food systems that nourish both people and the planet.
