On the back of Africa Climate Week and ahead of 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27, this month’s episode of Farms.Food.Future is all about climate change in Africa.

We meet Omar Eldeeb, founder of a climate group in Egypt, planting fruit trees to simultaneously combat climate change and food insecurity.
We chat with our rural youth advocate, Sherrie Silver, about why she thinks young people hold the key to the climate puzzle.
We conclude this episode with a story on solar panels in Egypt and wrap up our series on research and impact assessment with a look at how climate change affects IFAD projects around the world.
Farms.Food.Future is a monthly podcast produced by the UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development.
Each one-hour episode, released on the last Monday of every month, has a different theme that speaks to the challenges concerning food security, the climate crisis, and fair livelihoods that are faced by the world’s poorest communities, and smallholder farmers from developing countries.
It includes interviews with experts, partners, and even some celebrities from the world of food….but, most importantly, Farms. Food. Future. talks to the farmers themselves.
