Episode Notes
In this episode, we meet with Selassie Atadika - a Ghanaian chef, educator and food systems advocate. After over a decade working at the United Nations working in the humanitarian sector, Selassie completed a crash course at the Culinary Institute of America. It was then when her company, Midunu, a nomadic and private dining experience highlighting ‘New African Cuisine’ was born. This episode dives into food as a medium for storytelling, and the beauty of community surrounding food. We learn how we can focus on developing flavor in plant-forward dishes and learning about how in traditional dishes, animal protein was not necessary and limited. A lot of communities of color have been eating plant-forward for time immemorial. We can learn to focus on what to avoid instead of what to take out of our diets, to live and cook in abundance, and be open to trying new ingredients and foods.

Episode Notes
Deep Sea Bed Mining Interview with the folks at Sustainable Ocean Alliance and featuring Marine Expert, Diva Amon. This episode dives into the political, social, and moral implications behind "deep sea bed mining," an emerging industrial field that involves extracting submerged minerals and deposits from the sea floor. To date, mining for sand, tin, and diamonds has been generally limited to shallow coastal waters - but now industries are starting to explore what could lie in the deep sea. Scientists are very concerned, however, about the implications of mining a part of the planet that hasn't been meaningfully explored in depth, and what this could mean for the future of the planet.

To learn more about what deep sea bed mining is and how to take action, learn more from the Sustainable Ocean Alliance
