Dr. C. Shambu Prasad conducted a masterclass ‘Thought for Food: Rural Lives and the Future of What We Eat’, for the India Food Systems Youth Network.

He spoke about the links between soil, nutrition and public health while unpacking the structural realities shaping Indian agriculture today. This session also looked at how fragile and globally connected our food systems have become and why building more resilient futures will require agroecological thinking, community participation and youth-led action.
