During Climate Week NYC, Food Tank hosted a series of Summits to position food and agriculture as a key solution to the Climate Crisis. This episode features two conversations from these events.

First, hear from John Kerry the 68th U.S. Secretary of State and former U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, moderated by John Piotti, President and CEO of American Farmland Trust. During their fireside chat, which was part of a Summit hosted by Food Tank and American Farmland Trust, they discuss the efforts to put food and agriculture front and center at the U.N. Climate Change Conference, how to hold onto current gains that support the health of the environment, and why the upcoming election is so important to the future of climate action.

Then, Dani speaks with Dr. Cary Fowler, Special Envoy for Global Food Security at the U.S. Department of State, as part of an event hosted by Food Tank and the World Food Program USA. They discuss the tendency to underestimate the impacts of the climate crisis, the potential of the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils, and why we need bolder solutions.
