Thin Lei Win

George Monbiot, an environmental activist and author of 'Regenesis,' joins food journalist Thin Lei Win and Carin Smaller, executive director of the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate. They discuss how climate change is dramatically impacting global food production and increasing hunger, particularly for smallholder farmers in Africa. The conversation highlights the urgent need for systemic change in food policies and funding, advocating for sustainable agriculture and equitable access to nutritious food across wealth brackets.

In this engaging discussion, Thin Lei Win, a food and climate journalist, dives into the complexities of Myanmar's food systems. She examines how political decisions and land ownership impact malnutrition in the region dubbed the 'rice bowl of Southeast Asia.' Thin highlights the trade-offs of intensified rice production, connecting it to nutrient-poor diets and health issues. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful about a new generation of activists and journalists advocating for justice and sustainability in food systems across Southeast Asia.
