Extreme climate events in Africa. I’ll have a conversation with climatologist, professor and director of AESEDA Dr. Gregory Jenkins on this blindspot within the climate crisis.

Then I’m continuing our conversation on farming and seed laws in Africa with Anne Maina. Anne Maina has been actively working on challenging false solutions being pushed in Africa like Genetically Engineering, the push for a green revolution in Africa, biofuels and carbon markets as a strategy to cope with climate change in Africa.
