In the latest Food Systems Podcast episode, Michael Werz, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations, discusses how global instability, conflict and climate change are making resilient food systems central to future geopolitical stability. Speaking with guest presenter Mark Titterington, he warns that food is increasingly being weaponized in conflicts and that fragile supply chains, export restrictions, and fertilizer dependencies threaten global security. Michael calls for stronger multilateral cooperation, greater leadership from Global South nations, and urgent reforms to trade, agricultural policy, and food governance to build a more resilient and equitable global food system.
