Innovations in Agriculture During COVID-19 – Episode 14

 IFAD, Nov. 23, 2020

.

This month’s programme is all about innovations in agriculture. We’re travelling around the world to hear about new technologies designed to ensure food security.

After catching up on the latest news about IFAD’s COVID-19 response with Associate Vice-President Marie Haga, our first stop is Côte d’Ivoire, where Florent Clair tells us all about chemical industrial company UPL’s latest biotechnological advances. Then, heading up north-east, we visit Pinduoduo, China’s largest e-commerce platform.

We then head over to South America, where we speak with the ACUA Foundation’s Emperatriz Arango to find out about the new Kumé project, which empowers home chefs throughout Latin America and the Caribbean to promote and share their region’s traditional gastronomy right from their own kitchens. We also hear from three home chefs involved with the project.
