In today’s episode, with Dr. Abrania Marrero, we’ll discuss the loss of food culture and reclaiming agriculture in marginalized communities, as well as interdisciplinary approaches to getting there.

Dr. Abrania Marrero is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. With a focus on food systems in small island states, including her native Puerto Rico, her research portfolio interrogates the interdependence of human and planetary health; the cultural and geopolitical landscapes on which they arise; and agentic pathways toward more just, nutritious, and climate-resilient futures.

On this Episode you will Learn:

How Dr, Abrania takes a multidisciplinary approach to her work, particularly in small island ecosystems

The impacts of colonial and climatic shocks on local agriculture in Puerto Rico and how those shocks have affected traditional food systems

Promotion of climate resilient farming practices and the challenges and solutions that surround it
