Episode notes

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator.

Episode 10

Season 1 of Hungry Books Podcast ends with a book that brings a refreshingly innovative approach to food studies. Tom Standage looks at how food has led to societal organisation, the creation of geo-political regions, the transformation of the landscape, technological revolutions and exploration.

From the transition to a sedentary life and the birth of farming to the political and ideological weaponisation of food policies, the book covers 12,000 years of innovation, war, technology, the rise of civilisations and the paradoxes and crossroads that define our present and indeed our future.
