TABLE TALK: Sujala Balaji

July 3, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Is millet the new quinoa?

Sujala Balaji is a food scientist turned social entrepreneur committed to feeding the world sustainably by using ancient grain millets to address the need for sustainable and resilient food systems. With no need for pesticides/fertilizers, requiring much less water to grow, and their ability to help keep the soil healthy, millets are being called the “smart foods” by ICRISAT (International Crop Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics).

After working in the corporate world for over 10 years, she recently launched a new start-up, Kosha Foods, that develops plant based food products using millet grains, sourced directly from small scale farmers in India. Through her unique sourcing model, she is also working on addressing global poverty and hunger as part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
