Shagun is a Principal Correspondent at Down To Earth, where she reports on how a destabilising climate is redrawing the boundaries of food and farming in India -- from millions of farmers still sowing by an outdated crop calendar that can no longer predict the monsoon’s arrival, and livestock diseases spreading faster as rainfall and temperature patterns shift, to the dying soils of India’s key food-producing regions, deepening nutritional insecurity, and ultra-processed food systems engineered to override hunger. A journalist with over 13 years of experience across major Indian newsrooms, Shagun is a recipient of the IIMCAA award for ‘Agriculture Reporter of the Year’ and is also a Pulitzer Centre and Earth Journalism Network grantee.
