In this episode, Caitlin Welsh and Johan Swinnen, Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute, sit down to discuss IFPRI’s reorganization and how research had to adapt amid challenges posed by Covid-19. Swinnen details a holistic view of the current state of food insecurity and its contributing factors, focusing on economic causes, the diverse implications of Covid-19, and the distribution of food insecurity across regions and rural/urban divides. Caitlin Welsh and Jo Swinnen also consider what we may discover retroactively about the current moment, what to expect in the future, and possible implications of the September 2020 UN Food Systems Summit.
