on the show
On the show, you’ll hear from innovators in the food space. Join us as we have disruptive conversations with people from around the globe who are taking the lead on topics like food sustainability, ending world hunger, food security and so much more.
Future Fork is a show that explores the world of food and the decisions we can make today that will shape our future.
In today's episode, I’m joined by Professor Appolinaire Djikeng, Director General of the International Livestock Research Institute and CGIAR Senior Director for Livestock-Based Systems. Recorded at ILRI's headquarters in Kenya, Appolinaire talks about growing up in a village in western Cameroon where the family's pigs, goats and chickens paid for his schooling, and the work he now leads for a sector more than 1.7 billion people still depend on.
You'll hear why Appolinaire says he would probably never have received an education without livestock, why a dairy farmer in Kenya may need ten animals to produce what one animal produces in the Netherlands or Australia, and why he argues livestock is the top climate solution the Global South has to offer rather than the problem it's usually cast as.
