Welcome to season 2! This book is so much more than a commodity's biography, potatoes are an entry point to explore the history of food policies, the relationships between land, power, botany, science, health, economy and the consequences of colonialism.

Find out why our modern attitudes towards eating reflect the complex relationships between individual rights, freedom and the role of the state in society.
