On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, the President and CEO of the ONE Campaign. They discuss how the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development has impacted the African continent, the opportunities this shifting landscape creates for the emergence of African-led solutions, and the innovative women spearheading food and agriculture systems transformation.
Plus, hear about the recent extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act, severe storm damage in Portugal and Spain causing hundreds of millions of euros in agricultural losses, new recommendations from the World Resources Institute for retailers to help reduce household food waste, and a looming strike at the JBS meatpacking plant in Colorado over alleged inhumane working conditions. Dani also discusses GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, noting their complex and under-researched impact on people with eating disorders, including both potential benefits and serious risks.
