Multiple shocks – from COVID-19 related disruptions to extreme weather, pests, and conflicts – are impacting food systems, resulting in higher food prices and growing hunger. Up to 783 million people faced hunger in 2022, and there are predictions that over 600 million people will still face hunger by 2030. On this episode of The Development Podcast, we hear from Gladys Wanja, a Kenyan mother and small business owner; Valerie Guarnieri of the World Food Program; Dr. Catherine Nakalembe, NASA Harvest’s Africa Program Director and Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland; and Martien van Nieuwkoop, the World Bank’s Global Director for Agriculture and Food.
