Beyond Weight: The Psychology of Obesity

-
The Hidden Cost of Food Waste
Every day, households around the world throw away more than one billion meals. Globally, nearly 1.05 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year, roughly one-fifth of all the food we produce. But food waste is about far more than leftovers. Every wasted meal also means wasted land, water, energy...

Beyond Food: Towards Nutrition Security

Education For a Connected World
Education has the power to transform lives. Yet across the world, millions of children still grow up without access to learning that truly unlocks their potential. While every country faces its own realities, the aspiration remains universal: that no child’s future should be limited by where they...
-
Rethinking Educational Equity
Education can change a child’s life. But in India, access to quality education is still far from equal. Millions of children are locked out of classrooms—not because they lack talent or ambition, but because opportunity never reaches them. According to the 2011 Census, 8.4 crore children between...
-
Climate, Care & Community: Women Leading Change
We often speak about cities through the lens of development—smart infrastructure, growth, progress. But our conversations rarely reach the places where most urban residents actually live—informal settlements, low-income communities, bastiyaan. Here, water is not a basic service. It’s a daily...
-
From Mumbai's Lanes to a National Mission
Education in India isn’t just about schools, classrooms, or textbooks. It’s about possibility. It’s about whether a child is seen, heard, and given the chance to imagine a different future. And yet, for millions of children across the country, quality education still slips through the cracks—not...
-
How Community Fridges Fight Hunger
Hunger in India isn’t just a problem of empty plates. It’s a problem of broken systems. Every single day, cities discard tonnes of perfectly edible surplus food—while families in the same neighbourhood skip meals, stretch rations, or head to work on an empty stomach. It’s a contradiction we’ve...
-
Why Nutrition Literacy Matters
We often talk about health through the lens of gyms, workouts, diets, and trends. But beneath all of this lies a simple, powerful truth: Good health begins with what we know about the food we eat. And that’s where nutrition literacy steps in. Nutrition literacy isn’t about memorising nutrients or...
-
Changing Mindsets About Girls
When we talk about a nation’s progress, one question reveals everything: How do we treat our daughters? Because the story of a girl child is often the story of society itself—its beliefs, its biases, and its hopes for the future. Across India, many families still hesitate to celebrate the birth…
more -
Empowering Children Through Mentorship
We often talk about education as grades, syllabi, and competitive exams—but beneath this narrow definition lies a much bigger truth. For millions of children in underprivileged communities, education isn’t just about learning outcomes. It’s about confidence. It’s about exposure. It’s about having...

more -

-
How ALfA Changes the Learning Game
Education is often seen as a slow process, where children spend years learning to read, write, and count. But what if learning could be faster and simpler? What if children who have fallen behind could catch up within months instead of years? That’s what the ALfA (Accelerating Learning for All)...
-

Grains of Change: Why Millets Matter Now
For decades, millets were dismissed as “poor man’s food,” overshadowed by polished rice, wheat, and processed meals. But today, these ancient grains are making a powerful comeback—praised for their ability to fight lifestyle diseases, restore soil health, and withstand climate change. In this...
-
Closing The Food Waste Gap
Every year, nearly one-third of all food produced globally—around 2.1 billion tons—never gets eaten. That’s not just food wasted. It’s the land, water, energy, labor, and money poured into producing it—amounting to a staggering $1.5 trillion lost annually. And the climate cost is even higher…
more -
Hidden Hunger Explained
We often think of hunger as empty plates or skipped meals. But there’s another kind of hunger that’s much harder to see—hidden hunger. Hidden hunger happens when people eat enough to feel full, yet their bodies are missing the essential vitamins and minerals needed for health. Its effects creep…
more -
How Gender Inequality Fuels Food Crisis
We often talk about the global food crisis as if it’s just about climate change, conflicts, or market disruptions. But beneath it all lies a silent, often overlooked driver—gender inequality. From who grows the food, who gets paid for it, who eats first at the dinner table, to who makes decisions...
-
Multisectoral Approaches to Address Undernutrition
We often talk about undernutrition as if it’s just about food. But in reality, it’s about so much more. Poverty, poor sanitation, limited healthcare, food insecurity, and gender inequality all intersect to create a cycle that no single sector can solve alone. In this episode, we sit down with Dr....
-
Vitamin A & Childhood Blindness
We often think of blindness as the result of disease or accident. But what if losing sight had nothing to do with either—and everything to do with a missing vitamin? Vitamin A deficiency is one of the leading causes of preventable childhood blindness. Beyond vision loss, it weakens a child’s…

Reviving Forgotten Foods
We often think of food as something that comes neatly packaged—off supermarket shelves or from diet charts. But not too long ago, food came from memory. From forest trails, backyard gardens, from what grandmothers foraged, dried, pickled, and preserved. A handful of millets. A wild berry. Tubers...
-
Nutrition For Mental Wellness
We often think of food as fuel for the body, and mood as a matter of the mind. But what if the two are deeply connected? What if what’s on your plate could influence how you feel, how you cope with stress, how well you sleep, and even how you heal emotionally? In this episode of "Nutrition Every...
-
Lessons From the Last Mile
We often talk about India’s rise as a global power—but there’s another story unfolding beneath the headlines. In rural and aspirational districts, many still grapple with the basics: safe water, quality education, healthcare they can reach, and livelihoods they can depend on. The gaps are...
-
Anaemia: A Silent Public Health Crisis
We often think of anaemia as just fatigue or low energy. But it’s so much more. Anaemia is silently impacting millions across India—especially women and children. It affects school performance, pregnancy outcomes, work productivity, and even the country’s economy. Yet, it rarely gets the…

Elderly Nutrition: Myths Vs. Facts
Why Are We Failing Our Elders at the Dinner Table? In a world that prides itself on nutritional science and medical progress, why do so many older adults continue to suffer silently—malnourished, misunderstood, and medically overburdened? Over 60% of India’s elderly are either malnourished or at...
