For the second part of The Future of Food miniseries, we go global. We’ll explore the many ways our increasingly interconnected planet changes our foodways. We take a look at the future of disease through bats, the beloved chicken breast, the exploitation behind the açaí  berry, and the future of our taste and disgust. Join us on our quest across this big, blue floating rock to find out where we’ve been and where we’re headed.
