Fighting Climate Change in South Asia

From chefs in India to fisheries in the Maldives, on this month’s episode of Farms.Food.Future. we examine how the relationship between agriculture and climate change is affecting South Asia. We also reflect on 75 years of independence in India and Pakistan and learn about IFAD’s work in Bhutan and the Maldives.

Having spoken to youth leaders and participants, we wrap up our agribusiness hubs miniseries with a conversation with the donors who make this work possible. Our guests tell us about their hopes for COP27, and two Indian Recipes for Change chefs share what changes they would like world leaders to make to improve climate resilience. Plus we hear about the new UN endorsed cook book out from Kitchen Connections.

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.
