Digesting Food Studies is a podcast that helps break down research on food systems into manageable portions. It’s for listeners who are learning and teaching about food studies, for those working in fields and factories, and for people in policy and politics, making the rules that govern and guide us.

This podcast is supported in part by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Lakehead University, and the Canadian Association for Food Studies.
