New Frontiers in Sustainable Farming

Farms. Food. Future.

In this episode, we say goodbye to a year full of uncertainty and changes, but also adaptation, innovation and improvement. IFAD’s Associate Vice President Donal Brown will give us the latest on IFAD’s response to the pandemic and its expected impact in 2021. We’ll be talking about disability inclusion and about Gender-Based Violence and hear from the Slow Food Foundation about the Terra Madre 2020 event.

Experts on agroecology Miguel Altieri and Salvatore Ceccarelli will be joining us to talk about the importance of biodiversity and our food systems. We also have a special piece from IFAD’s Goodwill Ambassadors Sabrina and Idris Elba featured on the BBC podcast "What Planet Are We On". Finally we find out how small scale farmers are bottom of the heap for getting climate finance with our reporter Freddie Harvey Williams.
