Hello!
We’re back!
Can’t believe it’s been a year since we launched the first edition of Edible Issues. And if you’re reading thanks for making this happen.
Speaking of new beginnings, we now have a new home.
We’ve launched our website (finally) and are taking bigger and bolder steps towards figuring out and exploring the Indian food system. We will continue to need all your support!
Check out the website and tell us what you think? https://edibleissues.in
Before you read everything, an announcement:
We’re moving our newsletter (with curated news articles) to twice a month. You will still hear from us every week (either about the interesting people we’ve met and interviewed or something we’ve been working).
We’re continuing our discovery mission across India in 2019 and would love to hear more about you if you’re a person/company working towards the Indian food system in any way.
Until then, let’s keep the conversation going.
Stay curious,
Anusha & Elizabeth
