About This Podcast

Planet Pulse Pacific—your go-to podcast for conversations about people and planet—is proud to host a special series: Edible Empire.


As the climate and global health crises intensify, the need for meaningful change has never been more urgent. This six-episode series brings together leading voices from around the world to explore the concept of food imperialism, uncover the hidden social and environmental costs of what we eat, and examine how we can build a more just and sustainable food system.


Join your hosts, Ben Eitelberg and Emma Strutt, alongside special series co-host Professor Neal Haddaway, as they dive into the complex and often unseen world of food—how it is produced, traded, and consumed across the globe.
