Grape Decisions (at the Fulcrum)!

A grape 🍇 can tell you its story! We can learn about who grew it, when it was picked, how cold it stayed on the long trip, and why it made it to your supermarket. In this episode, Dr. H. looks at the compelling case of Sahyadri Farms, India’s largest farmer-owned export enterprise. We trace how a regional grape collective transformed into a model for longevity and dignity in agriculture. Through cold chain logistics, traceability, the GLOBALG.A.P. certification standards, producer company governance, and then pandemic-era pivots, Sahyadri Farms revisited and reworked what trust looks like in agriculture, one juicy grape journey at a time!
