Building a more nourished future

For rural economies to grow sustainably, simply having food to eat is not enough. Diets must also be nutritious to ensure good health and thriving communities

On this episode, we explore how IFAD-funded projects in the Near East, Europe, Central Asia and North are diversifying and strengthening diets among the region's small-scale farmers. Travel from the flourishing school gardens of Tajikistan and Tunisia to the farms of Iraq and Moldova, where a brighter, more nutritious future is taking root.

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.
