Ensuring safe, nutritious and sustainable food for all
Around the world, small-scale farmers are pushing our food systems to evolve. They’re the key to producing enough safe, nutritious food to feed the world sustainably.
In this episode, Corinna Hawkes, Director of the Food Systems and Food Safety Division at FAO, shares her personal journey into food policy and her belief in the power of food to create healthier, happier lives. She discusses why now is the time for donors and governments to embrace a systems approach to transforming agri-food systems for people, planet, and prosperity.
This episode also explores how the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) works hand-in-hand with rural communities to build a more nourishing future. Learn how innovative agroecology projects are driving economic growth and hear directly from IFAD’s President, Alvaro Lario, about how school meals are inextricably linked to resilient local food systems.
This episode continues our collaboration with IFAD, which is both a Board Member of the GDPRD and its Secretariat host.
