In Search of Lost Foods
What happens to a food when people stop eating it?
What happens to a food when people stop eating it? Most of the food we eat today comes from a handful of crops, but before we became a globalised society, our diet reflected a variety of plants, proteins and foods that were cultivated as local specialties. Now, as our diets become less diverse, these foods face a critical point in their existence. In this programme the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Dan Saladino explores several stories of foods that are dying out and talks to the farmers and producers who are working to save them.
