Commons Sensing: Ep 01 – Grounding Commons Through Practice | Jagdeesh Rao Puppala & Huda Jaffer

What does “Commons” really mean, and why should this matter in our everyday lives?

In this opening episode of Commons Sensing, two of India’s leading practitioners – Jagdeesh Rao Puppala, CEO, Living Landscapes and convener, Common Ground Initiative, and Huda Jaffer, Director, SELCO Foundation, unpack the concept of the Commons and link them to the decades of work across forests, pastures, land tenure, energy access, and community institutions.

Through stories, failures, and hard-won insights, this conversation asks a vital question: Can commons-led approaches offer solutions where markets and states fall short? Subscribe for more conversations on climate, governance, and collective action.

This podcast is dedicated to the custodians of India’s Commons… past, present and future.
