UK's Pesticide Reduction Initiative and Its Impact on Pollinators

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Dr. Antony Chapoto, Executive Director of the African Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes (ANAPRI) Secretariat. They discuss the importance of localization and capacity building to improve food and agriculture systems across Africa, the effect that soil degradation has had on farmers’ productivity, and the importance of providing a pathway for young people to retain talent in Africa.

Plus, hear how farmers are responding to the U.S. government’s recent funding decisions, how Mexico is taking a stand against genetically modified corn to protect biodiversity and the country’s cultural heritage, and recent steps in the United Kingdom to protect pollinators.
