Bigging-Up Biodiversity

We’re getting in the biodiversity groove ahead of International Biodiversity Day on May 22nd. We speak exclusively to the acting Executive Secretary of the UN’s Convention on Biological Diversity, David Cooper. Then we’ll be hearing from IFAD’s lead on biodiversity Marie Aude Even. After that, in honour of the UK coronation we’re taking a little bit of a regal detour. We’ll be talking to David Cope, Head of Sustainability at the Duchy of Cornwall.

We have a special report for World Bee Day and the next part of our Global Donor Platform miniseries. Then we talk to the people behind Treedom, the app that allows you to plant a tree from a distance and follow the project on line. And Ento Insect Solutions in Kenya will be talking about insects for animal feed.

This is Farms.Food.Future – a podcast that's Good for You, Good for the Planet and Good for Farmers brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
