Building Back Better: Investing In Farming Under COVID-19 – Episode 12

We begin this month’s programme with a conversation with IFAD's Associate Vice President Marie Haga about how vital it is for governments to invest in rural communities in developing countries, even during COVID-19.

We also talk to coffee giant Lavazza about how coffee-growing communities are fighting the pandemic. And we’ve got news on building back better – we speak with the World Agroforestry Centre about fighting land degradation in Africa.

We also have the next episode in our Meet the Experts mini-series and another adventure with our Recipes for Change Chef Carlo Cracco, this time in Cambodia. We’ll also introduce you to the newest member of our Recipes for Change team – Mariah Gladstone, an indigenous chef from the United States – and hear all about her group called IndigiKitchen.
