When it comes to mangoes and fish, we often speak of them as delicacies. But the commercial side matters just as much. It shapes how we farm and how we fish, and in turn, what finally reaches our plates. This episode brings together two perspectives on the economics of food. One from land, one from sea.
Hands of Transition started in 2025 with a straightforward idea. The people living through food insecurity and climate stress are also the ones best placed to fix it. It brings together communities across India who are already doing that work, connecting design, storytelling, and on-the-ground action in ways that feel organic rather than imposed. There's no top-down blueprint here. The initiative is built around making room for these communities to tell their stories and drive change from within.
