Expanding the Blue Economy in East and S...

In this month’s edition we focus on the blue economy in East and Southern Africa and potential opportunities and the challenges for government, the private sector and small-scale producers. Speaking to us is IFAD’s Sara Mbago-Bhunu, ocean expert Dr. Ishmeal Kimirei and aquaculture specialist Richard Abilla.

We’ll also hear from the private sector and the people on the ground as talk to small-scale producers in Eritrea, Mohamed Seid Ibrahim and Masqela Hailemariam. And they share how they have transformed their livelihoods.

This is Farms. Food. Future. – a podcast that’s Good for You, Good for the Planet and Good for Farmers brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
