239: Dan Saladino, The value of food diversity

Welcome to Strategy Skills episode 239, an episode with a renowned food journalist, Dan Saladino.

In this episode, Dan talks us through a very interesting topic: food extinction. He elaborated on the value of food diversity through factual examples and stories and explained the risks of homogeneity or genetic uniformity of crops, livestock, poultry, or other food supply which adds more vulnerability to preserving these resources during a crisis.

Dan Saladino is a renowned food journalist who has worked at the BBC for twenty-five years. For more than a decade he has traveled the world recording stories of foods at risk of extinction—from cheeses made in the foothills of a remote Balkan mountain range to unique varieties of rice grown in southern China. His work has been recognized by the James Beard Foundation, the Guild of Food Writers, and the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards.
