564. Right to Repair Won, A School Farm Program Boosts Enrollment, and a Conversation with Sara Mbago-Bhunu on Building Resilience in the Face of El Niño

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Sara Mbago-Bhunu, Director of the East and Southern Africa Division at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). They discuss what this year's super El Niño means for farming communities and agricultural supply chains, the lessons learned from extreme weather events of the past, and why investing in resilience is cheaper than responding to disaster. Plus, an FTC settlement with John Deere secures the right to repair for U.S. farmers, an estimated 700,000 have died due to USAID's dismantling, Ugandan producers push back against an oil pipeline, a new analysis reveals El Niño will cause a surge in global food prices, and a farm pilot program in Kenya doubles enrollment at school.  While you're listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.
