Good Nutrition Better Lives - Focus on Africa

In Africa, just under 800 million people are facing food insecurity. And that situation is made worse by a triple crisis - COVID-19, climate change and conflict. In this podcast our team in Nairobi, Dakar and Cairo take us on a journey through the nutrition landscape for small scare farmers across the continent of Africa.

Also in podcast 34 we go to Lesotho to see how CO2 emissions from farming are being reduced. We have the second part of our series focusing on Youth Agribusiness Hub - this time from Rwanda. Then we have our final visit to the Global Donor Platform where we’ll be hearing from IFAD’s Associate Vice President Satu Santala. And our Research and Impact gurus are taking a look at a project in Tamil Nadu, India.

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.
