Episode Description
In today's episode, I’m joined by Ana Maria Loboguerrero, Director of Adaptive and Equitable Food Systems at the Gates Foundation. Ana Maria grew up in Bogotá and now leads work that sits across three dimensions at once, climate, gender and nutrition, with most of it focused on sub-Saharan Africa.
You'll hear what the latest State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report found about the 2.7 billion people who can't afford a healthy diet, why FAO's analysis says supporting women farmers with what they need would add $1 trillion to the global economy, and the story of the two women in Ana Maria's own family who became the first and second women in Colombia to graduate as mathematicians.
