Pilot Episode: From DNA to Dinner
The economics of genetic diversity in our global food system
Every time you buy groceries or order dinner, you're participating in the process of genetic selection. Most of us simply choose from the options available to us, but who decided what the options would be in the first place? Those decisions affect far more than what appears in our grocery aisles or on restaurant menus. They determine which genes survive in our food system — and which genes disappear.
Travel the globe visiting farms, pubs, labs, seed banks, and some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Meet the people who see firsthand the economic forces that decide what we grow, what we eat, and what we risk losing forever.
