How Do We Feed a Growing Population?

from UnCanned Hosted by Slate Studios

Joe Yeung, a Chinese immigrant, started farming in the 1950s. Decades later, his granddaughters Becky and Melissa have taken over the operation and are committed to maintaining their family’s legacy. In this episode of UnCanned, we visit Becky and Melissa on the Joe Yeung Farm in Sacramento to learn how they’re experimenting with new innovations to overcome agricultural challenges and produce the high quality ingredients that go into brands like Campbell. Then, we talk to Executive Director of the Global Harvest Initiative Margaret Ziegler about how Becky and Melissa’s experience fits into a broader and critical question: how will we feed the world’s growing population?
