What does energy have to do with you and me? Beyond the light switches and gas pumps, energy is connected with aspects of our lives that are closest to our hearts - from food, water and land to issues of justice and access.

 

Through this first season, we speak to five friends across different fields and continents to explore the idea that energy is about far more than just climate and carbon, and why it matters.

fueling the future with shakti ramkumar

22 August 2024 | 36 Min 04 Sec

We speak with Shakti about the interconnectedness between energy and food systems. She draws parallels between debates on energy and food, and how strategies used to push the needle in the former could be used successfully in the latter.

 

We also ask her how she navigates the frustrations of an individual’s actions in pushing for systems change, and how we could frame this thinking differently.
