Innovating Agriculture Into the Future

In our end of year edition we’re focusing on all things innovative in the world of agriculture with agro-preneurs from Australia, Africa and Asia. We're talking to the people at Nurture Farm who are helping small scale farmers access the right information at the right time. We’re finding out how Eden Green Technology are changing communities with just 1 1/2 acres. And forget Hello Kitty we're saying Hello Tractor.

Also we have news from an innovative farming operation in Australia which has developed a fruit salad tree. IFAD's AVP Jo Puri is back with us to look at climate conflicts but to kick off we'll be hearing from IFAD's Goodwill Ambassadors Idris and Sabrina Elba as they spoke to the great and the good about climate change, food security and farming in developing countries.

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.
