Weaponization of Hunger, Dangerously Hungry, the Role of World Hunger in Global and National Security. Special Guest, Dr. Chase Sova, World Food Program USA

Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you!

One of the central tenets of GNSI is the elevation of "non-traditional" issues of global and national security. Issues like energy and water security, human trafficking, climate change, disinformation, violent extremism and, in this episode, the weaponization of hunger.
 
 Dr. Chase Sova, Senior Director of Policy and Research at the United Nation's World Food Program USA, was a key speaker at our first Policy Dialogues event: Hunger as a Weapon. Sova spoke extensively about the WFP's watershed report, "Dangerously Hungry: The Link Between Food Insecurity and Conflict." Sova was the lead author of that report, which links 70% of the world's hunger to violence and conflict. 
 
We hope you enjoy the episode.

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida, features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.

A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.

The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
