Episode Title: Food Sovereignty: Nicaragua’s No Hunger Program

The crisis in Ukraine has created conditions for loss of farming production and global food distribution.  Already there exists a shortage of fertilizer and an increase in energy costs that will affect production, transportation and distribution.  Today is the second of an informal series of conversations we will have about the importance of food sovereignty and how different countries, organizations and institutions are attempting to guarantee the right to food.

This episode features guests: Ivan Acosta, Nicaragua’s Minister of Housing and Public Credit and Justa Perez, Nicaragua's Minister of Family Economy (MEFCCA)
