Parth Ahya, the cofounder of The Taimaka Project, is this episode’s guest. Taimaka works hand-in-hand with rural communities, primarily in Africa, to tackle hunger and malnutrition. The problem it is addressing is post-harvest food insecurity arising from farmers being forced to sell their crops right after the harvest, leaving them with no food or money as the year goes on. Taimaka helps these farmers by providing post-harvest loans and food storage so that they can spread the benefits of the harvest over the full year. As Parth and Brooke discuss, Taimaka is a relatively small nonprofit, but it is making a huge impact.  (0:25).
