Booking Overview

This is a limited-series interview podcast focused on food imperialism, corporate power, and the social and environmental consequences of global food systems, featuring academic and policy experts as external guests. PR agencies could credibly pitch food-policy scholars, food-sovereignty researchers, sustainable agriculture experts, and specialists in agribusiness concentration; booking difficulty is medium because guests are prominent published academics but the focused series format limits opportunities.
