About

How do we ‘do food better?’ Better Food. Better World. poses this very question to listeners working in food policy and concerned global citizens alike. Over the course of 6 episodes, author Elizabeth Nyamayaro paints an audio picture of food systems around the world and the people involved from production to consumption, from farm to plate. In a world where 811 million people go to bed hungry every single night, while enough food to feed 2 billion people is wasted every single year, this podcast challenges all of us to think differently about food. Better Food. Better World. is a United Nations World Food Programme initiative. WFP works across 88 countries to bring life-saving food to a hundred million people displaced by conflict, disasters, and climate change. In 2020, the WFP was awarded the Noble Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger, for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas, and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war.
