World Farm Brief
by World Farm Brief
World Farm Brief is a weekly audio briefing on the stories shaping global agriculture. Every week, in just fifteen minutes, we bring you five stories from five regions — from the Kenyan tea harvest to Baltic grain trade, American combines to Indian rice paddies, and the global forces, like El Niño, that tie them all together. Each story is voiced by a narrator from that part of the world, so you don't just hear the news – you hear the globe turning. What happens to rice in India shapes the price of bread in Europe; a drought in East Africa is felt on trading floors a continent away. World Farm Brief is the one place you get the whole picture, fast. For farmers, traders, agronomists, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand world agriculture in the time it takes to make a coffee. 🎧 New episode every week.
