410. Building Resilience on the Ground: Investing in the Farmers of Today and the Future

This week’s episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two recent, live fireside chats, moderated by Dani. First, hear from Million Belay, General Coordinator of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, who discusses the need to invest in youth, the differences he sees between the agroecology and regenerative agriculture movements, and why he is pushing for a model for food systems that is grounded in community. Then, hear from Sandra Uwera, Global CEO of Fairtrade International. She touches on opportunities to empower women in agriculture, the connection between fair prices for farmers and environmental sustainability, and the regional networks that are helping producers improve their resilience. Both conversations were organized by Food Tank and the Food and Agriculture Pavilion during the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP28). While you’re listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.
