What the World’s Farmers Can Teach Us About Climate Resilience
About this episode
This episode discusses how farmers are adapting to climate change and what their experiences can teach us about resilience in the global food system.
Climate change is transforming how the world grows and eats. In this episode, host Amy Scott talks with New York Times international climate correspondent Somini Sengupta about what she’s learned from farmers adapting to extreme weather. From drought-resistant crops to regenerative practices, Sengupta shows how communities on the front lines of climate change are finding new ways to survive and feed their families — and what their stories can teach us about building a more resilient global food system.
