Nutrition Every Day Podcast Returns with Season 2: Deepening India’s Nutrition Conversation
22 June 2026By Dola Mohapatra
Nutrition Every Day Podcast — Season 2 is Here
A Joint Initiative by Rise Against Hunger India and The Good Sight Webzine & Podcast
When we launched the Nutrition Every Day Podcast — in collaboration with The Good Sight Webzine & Podcast — our goal was simple: to bring nutrition into everyday conversations.
The response was overwhelming. Season 1 brought together nearly 20 experts from across India’s food and nutrition ecosystem, translating complex challenges into accessible, meaningful dialogue. The podcast quickly emerged as one of the most followed in the nonprofit segment on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Now, we return with Season 2 — deeper, broader, and more urgent than ever.
Why This Matters to Rise Against Hunger India
At Rise Against Hunger India, we believe that no single organization can solve hunger alone. A hunger-free future demands collaborative action — bringing together government, civil society, the private sector, communities, and individuals.
Yet, one critical dimension often gets overlooked:
Hunger is not just about access to food — it is also about making informed, nutritious choices.
Even among those with adequate access to food and resources, micronutrient deficiencies remain alarmingly widespread — not because food is unavailable, but because awareness of what constitutes good nutrition is limited.
This is precisely why initiatives like the Nutrition Every Day Podcast, the Push for Poshan Summit, and our nutrition education programs are not peripheral - they are central to our mission under the “Growing the Movement” pillar.
Building a food-aware, nutrition-literate India is just as critical to ending hunger as providing meals.
What Season 2 Covers
Season 2 builds on this foundation by exploring four interconnected themes, each bringing forward diverse expert voices and perspectives:
Maternal & Child Nutrition
Season 2 opens with one of India’s most persistent challenges. From anemia affecting millions of mothers and children to the importance of the first 1,000 days, this theme explores how early nutrition shapes lifelong health and development.
It also highlights the role of communities and caregivers in preventing malnutrition, and how everyday choices within households influence a child’s long-term relationship with food.
Food Systems & Public Nutrition
This theme takes a broader lens — examining what Indians eat today and what is gradually disappearing from our plates. It explores declining food diversity, hidden nutrient gaps in modern diets, and the policies and partnerships needed to improve nutrition outcomes at scale.
It also brings attention to the critical yet often under-discussed link between nutrition and tuberculosis, highlighting how recovery outcomes are closely tied to dietary access and quality.
Food Choices, Safety & Consumer Awareness
In an era defined by packaged foods and marketing claims, this theme asks the questions every household should be asking. What do consumers truly need to know about food safety? Does nutrition education translate into better food choices?
From unpacking everyday food labels to examining whether “superfoods” are rooted in science or marketing, these conversations aim to equip listeners with the knowledge needed to make informed, healthier decisions.
Emerging Nutrition Challenges
The final theme looks ahead — examining obesity not just as a matter of weight, but through a more holistic lens that includes behavior, psychology, mental health, and lifestyle.
By moving beyond simplified narratives, this theme encourages a deeper understanding of one of India’s fastest-growing and most complex public health challenges.
A Growing Movement
The #EverydayNutrition podcast is part of a larger movement to reshape how India thinks about food — shifting the focus from calories and taste to nutrients, health, and well-being.
With Season 2, we bring together an exceptional panel of experts spanning public health, nutrition science, food policy, and consumer advocacy to strengthen this dialogue and drive meaningful change.
Because awareness is where change begins.
New episodes will be available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Stay tuned — and join the movement toward better nutrition, every day.
