Today’s podcast is with Dr. Prajal Pradhan, a post-doctoral researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.

I talk to Prajal about his motivation to study food systems and climate change. He explains the relationship between agriculture and the environment. He also explains what we can do in terms of our diet impacting the environment, mainly by limiting our animal products, eating local, and limiting food waste. He explains how diets are changing with development. We discuss yield gaps and which countries have the largest yield gaps. Lastly, we discuss what the public and policymakers can do to reduce the negative impacts on the environment.
