The Inside Scoop on Climate Change in Africa

This month’s episode of Farms.Food.Future is all about climate change in Africa. We focus on accomplishments – and shortcomings – on the continent. IFAD’s own Jo Puri introduces IFAD’s climate goals and the expectations for COP27. Our regional specialists Paxina Chileshe and Pathe Sene give us updates on projects in Africa as well as an African perspective on expectations for COP27.

We talk to a climate activist and podcaster from Kenya who shares her work with us as well as a message for leaders at COP27. And, we learn about a group in Egypt planting fruit trees to combat both climate change and food insecurity at the same time.

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.
