The Food Chain Radio Show - Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Elspeth Hay, Author, Feed Us With Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food, for a conversation about the past, present and future of nuts as food.
Topics include how early were sustained through the culture of nut agriculture; how nut agriculture was subsumed by grass agriculture; and how nut agriculture might provide a foundation for the future.
