The Toda integrable system was originally designed as a specific model for lattice field theories. Following Kostant's insights, we will explain how it naturally arises from the representation theory of Lie algebras, and present some more recent work relating it to cotangent bundles of Lie groups and the topology of Affine Grassmannians.
