Gwen Jones, Director of Nzatu Food Group, took part in a discussion dedicated to one of the most pressing global challenges: food security.
The conversation explores how food systems can better meet the needs of a growing global population, while addressing the paradox that, despite sufficient food production, millions of people continue to experience hunger.
The episode brings together experts from different fields to discuss complementary approaches to transforming food systems, including:
- Integrating traditional knowledge with modern innovation.
- Developing more resource-efficient crops through scientific research.
- Creating value from food waste through circular economy solutions.
Alongside Gwen Jones, the panel features:
- Dr. Jauhar Ali, Head of the Hybrid Rice Development Consortium and Principal Scientist at the International Rice Research Institute.
- Amanda Oenbring, Chief Executive Officer of the Upcycled Food Association.
- Marcy Vigoda, Director of the International Land Coalition.
The discussion was produced by Food Farm Talk in partnership with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and highlights practical solutions for building more sustainable, resilient and equitable food systems.
