This week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast we chat with Sanjay Rawal, the director of the new documentary film Gather, and the award-winning film Food Chains. We chat about food sovereignty, and the “new world” crops that have been stewarded by indigenous people for thousands of years.
Sanjay has spent more than 15 years working on human rights campaigns around the world. His new film follows a chef, a rancher, a hunter/gatherer, and a fishermen to explore traditional foods of Turtle Island (the modern day Americas).
