566. Soil Restoration Promises Boost in Food Production, Cyclospora Offers Wake-Up Call, and a Conversation with Jerry Glover on Dismantling USAID: What it Means, Part 5

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Jerry Glover, a Distinguished Fellow at the Food Security Leadership Council for Part 5 of Food Tank's series exploring the far-reaching impacts of dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development. They discuss how the agency supported agricultural research and development, why this mattered in the U.S. and abroad, and filling the vacuum left by USAID's closure. Plus, a record number of schools use a federal meal service option to tackle child hunger, what's missing from the conversation on the cyclospora outbreak, extreme heat dries Europe's farmland, and a new study reveals that restoring soils by just 10 percent offers major benefits to crop yields.
