In this episode of the Food Systems Podcast, hosted by Mark Titterington, a panel of experts—John Baffes (World Bank Senior Agriculture Economist), Petr Havlik (Program Director at the International Institute for Applied Systems), and Tassos Haniotis (Special Advisor for Sustainable Productivity at the Forum's Advisory Council)—discuss critical challenges and opportunities in agriculture and food markets. The conversation focuses on the need for updated policies to address shifting dynamics caused by global shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and climate change.
