Ep. 152 - Jacob Foss: Eradicating Extreme Rural Poverty

Mar 24, 2023

How do we eradicate extreme rural poverty? What can we do to build up communities? 

Jacob Foss asked this question when travelling in Africa, and his answer was to co-found Agricycle—a brilliant start-up that connects women, smallholders, and youth in East Africa with global markets. 

Don’t know what a smallholder is? I didn’t either, but we’re about to find out! Jacob’s been on Forbes 30 Under 30, he’s received millions in funding for his work, and Agricycle is an official partner of the United Nations FAO. Join us as we talk about taking the road less traveled.
