Raj Patel on Unpacking Colonialism's Impact on Food and Health

In fact, it's a good thing to have science and peer review, it's a bad thing to have colonialism.
Ever wondered how colonialism might still be shaping our world today? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Healing Journeys', host Sameer Dossani sits down with Raj Patel to discuss his eye-opening book, 'Inflamed'. Patel argues that colonial systems are still very much alive and have driven us to the brink of climate, food, and health crises. If you’re curious about how historical injustices continue to affect our daily lives, this episode is a must-listen.
Sameer and Raj dive deep into the political nature of hunger and food insecurity, revealing how agroecology could be the key to feeding children in schools. They explore the history of the Green Revolution and highlight the invaluable role of indigenous knowledge in modern science. Patel doesn’t shy away from discussing the racial and social costs of our current food systems, making a compelling case for land reform and the decolonization of food and medicine.
As Raj Patel puts it, 'It's a good thing to have science and peer review, it's a bad thing to have colonialism'. This episode isn't just about pointing out problems; it's about looking for solutions that could transform our health and societal well-being. Whether you're interested in climate change, food security, or social justice, you'll find this conversation both enlightening and inspiring.
