People, Land, and Food.

In this podcast, The George Washington University students Sophia Badalian and Matthew Hanna discuss the intricacies of the intersections of people, land, and food, their Fall 2020 semester Geography 2133 course taught by Dr. Ginger Allington. These intricacies include international food production and consumption systems as well as food access and sovereignty, key aspects of a healthy food system.

In talking about these systems, we engage with a number of works including “Food Sovereignty in Everyday Life” by Meleiza Figueroa, “Reframing History of Bananas” by NPR’s Throughline, “D.C. is mambo sauce: Black cultural production in a gentrifying city” by Ashanté M. Reese, "The Hidden Human Cost of a Cup of Coffee" by Weather Films, Kitchen Sisters "Operation Hummus" and "Hidden Kitchens Russia: Dissident Kitchens," Sanjay Rawal's "Gather," and many more. We chose to reference diverse viewpoints as they relate to the international food production system.

We welcome you to join us as we converse about these topics and explore sustainability in our lives.
