A group called Scientific Animations Without Borders is creating animated videos to help educate people around the world about agriculture, women’s empowerment, and disease.

The videos cover a wide range of topics, from tuberculosis to food storage to drip irrigation. Volunteers translate the videos into many languages, so people from China to Mali can understand them.

Julia Bello Bravo is the co-director and co-founder of Scientific Animations Without Borders, she talked about how these videos are making an impact on food systems around the globe.

Audio from some of the animated videos was used in this podcast. If you want to watch these animations and more, go to http://sawbo-illinois4.org/videos
