Ruben Echeverria Talks Global Food Policy (Food Tank Live) 

May 01, 2020


Food Tank Live presented a podcast interview with Senior Research Fellow and former Director General of CIAT, Ruben Echeverria. He discusses the global south and developing countries where farmers faced a slew of challenges before COVID-19 and now even more. Echeverria says, “Every crisis is an opportunity to rethink things. The new generation thinks that food comes from somewhere; they’ve lost the connection with rural issues, food issues. This could be a good thing, people are connecting agriculture, health, and nutrition. (Interview begins at 32:40).
