Description

The current conflict in Ukraine combined with a massive drought in the horn of Africa are wreaking havoc on global food markets. Food supplies are shrinking; food prices are spiking, and the World Food Programme is warning of a “hunger hurricane” that could put a record 345 million people at acute risk of starvation.
In this episode, Tamar and Mike talk about how in a warming world, we’re going to see more of these breadbasket collapses. They also ask whether people’s eating habits might change for the better as a result. And they lay out a four-point strategy for growing more food without deforesting the planet.
