The podcast "Food Unscrambled" is an exploration of how food shapes us and the world from a foodie's perspective

Food Unscrambled is brought to you by UNFSS-AT2 China Action Hub to connect people with food and help them learn more about the world through the lens of our food systems. Our mission is to advance the progress of SDGs by improving the public's ecological literacy and promoting a healthy and sustainable diet for the well-being of humans and the Earth.

Our goal is to deconstruct the intricacies of nutritional science, market trends, humanities, and the sociocultural aspect within food systems and decode the entanglement between food, climate issues, animal welfare, and other sustainable development issues.

We invite experts, scholars, and young talents from all walks of life, or exciting souls with unique experiences, to bring you the most intriguing and vivid discussions and stories in each episode.

For example, "Will a vegetarian diet make me malnourished?", "Why is organic food pricey?", etc., from a more focused perspective. "We hope that this will bring us closer to our listeners and make us a trusted friend.
