524. An Investment in African Agri-food Systems, World Food Day, and a Conversation with Keithlin Caroo-Afrifa on Supporting Women Farmers on the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Keithlin Caroo-Afrifa, the Founder and Executive Director of Helen’s Daughters. They discuss how the organization is strengthening the capacity of women farmers in the Caribbean by teaching them technical skills and financial literacy, the mental health toll of changing weather patterns, and concerns that U.N. Climate Change Conferences have become networking events that leave little space to focus on the implementation of solutions.

Plus, hear about how the African Union is mobilizing funds to support the continent’s agri-food systems and what Food Tank is thinking about as we celebrate World Food Day.
