Who is Bill Gates, the college dropout from Seattle who built the operating system of global capitalism - and then turned his restless, problem-solving mind to the oldest human activity of all: growing food? Why did his six-billion-dollar mission to end hunger in Africa leave more people hungry than before? And how does the story of one man's extraordinary ambition over the world's food supply echo the great estates of Imperial Rome, the English enclosures, and the ruthless monopolies of the Gilded Age?Join John and Patrick as they tell the unsettling story of the world's most powerful philanthropist and his campaign to rewrite the operating system of African agriculture — in an age when the line between benevolence and control has never been harder to draw...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

Energy abundance means different things in today's global context than it did even a decade ago. It is about expanding electricity access while meeting rising energy demand. It is about navigating geopolitical fragmentation, limited government support, shifting development priorities, and leveraging new technologies to deliver reliable power at scale. But the challenge is not just technological. It is institutional and financial. Many low- and middle-income countries face high capital costs, limited access to financing, and policy frameworks that struggle to keep pace with growing demand.  Solving this challenge is a priority for both the Center on Global Energy Policy and the Rockefeller Foundation, which together have launched a new high-level panel to advance universal energy abundance. This initiative positions reliable, affordable energy as a cornerstone of economic growth, industrialization, and opportunity in emerging and developing economies.  So what does it take to move from energy scarcity and toward energy abundance? Can international institutions, governments, and investors come together to mobilize the scale of investment required? And how can emerging economies balance the urgency of expanding energy access with the need for affordability, reliability, and sustainability? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with Rajiv Shah, president of The Rockefeller Foundation, about the high-level panel on universal energy abundance and its goals. Rajiv leads The Rockefeller Foundation's mission to promote the well-being of humanity by ending energy poverty for more than a billion people, ensuring universal access to food, and strengthening health systems. During the Obama administration, he led the US Agency for International Development as its administrator. He also served on the National Security Council, where he elevated the role of development as part of a bipartisan foreign policy. Earlier in his career, Rajiv developed programs to address climate change and global food security at the US Department of Agriculture and held leadership roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bees live at the foundation of our food system—but they are imperiled by industrial agriculture. Sarah Red-Laird is helping to revive farm and ranch lands by cultivating healthy and diverse bee habitats. She teaches bee-friendly practices, including cover-cropping, no-till, and reduction of chemical use, which help farmers and ranchers to cultivate both abundant pollinators and healthy soil. Her work includes data collection, storytelling, teaching, doing bee-retreats (beetreats), and nature-based art. 

When I moved to New York City last summer, one of the first things I noticed was the fervor with which East Coasters are trying to stomp out invasive spotted lanternflies. These bugs were detected in the United States in 2014, and made their way to New York during the pandemic. As this invasive species' range continues expanding, they're causing agricultural damage — according to a worst-case scenario estimate from the New York's Department of Agriculture and Markets, the spotted lanternfly could cost the state up to $300 million dollars each year. To this day, they've been at the center of widespread media campaigns urging people to stomp them out. I wanted to know where this whole stomping idea came from, and how New York got to this point. I also couldn't help but wonder — have we been talking about spotted lanternfly all wrong? IMAGE: A spotted lanternfly perches on a branch. This invasive species arrived in the United States in 2014, and has been spreading ever since.

Following the fuel protests across the country over the past week, the government has agreed to a new fuel package to help with the rising costs. Overall, both petrol and diesel will be reduced by a further ten cents, leaving the total diesel reduction at 32 cent and petrol at 27 cent. Additional supports have been approved for the Agriculture and Transport sectors, with haulage and coach operators receiving payments from a new Road Transporters Support Scheme if the price of diesel exceeds €1.90. The cost per month of these supports to the transport sector is estimated at €40 million. For those in the agriculture sector, Government has announced a €100 million Fuel Subsidy Support Scheme to assist farmers, agricultural contractors and fishers facing unprecedented increases in fuel costs. The payments will cover the months of March up to the end of July to aid during the peak fuel usage months of the year. To hear more on Clare politicians' reactions to the protests and government package, Alan Morrissey was joined by Cathal Crowe, Meelick Fianna Fáil TD and Joe Cooney, Bodyke Fine Gael TD.

Have you ever wondered how Australia, which is largely a desert region, is not only self-sufficient in meeting its food needs but also exports agricultural produce to the world? It is nothing short of a miracle—but the real story behind this “agricultural miracle” lies in modern technology, scientific research, and digital farming. And now, efforts have begun to transfer this knowledge and experience to Pakistan. - کیا کبھی آپ نے سوچا ہے کہ آسٹریلیا، جو ایک بڑی حد تک صحرائی خطہ ہے، وہ کیسے اپنی غذائی ضروریات میں خود کفیل بھی ہے اور دنیا کو زرعی پیداوار برآمد بھی کرتا ہے؟ یہ کسی معجزے سے کم نہیں مگر اس “زرعی معجزے” کے پیچھے اصل کہانی ہے جدید ٹیکنالوجی، سائنسی تحقیق اور ڈیجیٹل زراعت کی۔ اور اب یہی علم اور تجربہ پاکستان منتقل کرنے کی کوششیں بھی شروع ہو چکی ہیں۔

Equine colic refers to abdominal pain rather than a single disease and can arise from many causes, ranging from gas buildup to intestinal impaction. Horses with colic might show subtle signs such as reduced appetite or lethargy, or more obvious behaviors like pawing, flank-watching, rolling, or repeatedly getting up and down. Because some types of colic can become life-threatening quickly, recognizing early signs and contacting a veterinarian promptly can improve the horse's outcome.This episode is sponsored by CareCredit.

The community creates the market! For Chef Mu that is not a tagline -- it is what he witnesses every time he shows up. In this episode, Melissa L. Jones sits down with Mustafa Abdul Rahim -- known as Chef Mu — culinary professional, food justice advocate, Chopped finalist, and market manager for Brooklyn Supported Agriculture, a Black-led worker-owned food cooperative rooted in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, celebrating 10 years of impact. Chef Mu speaks candidly about what it means to build a food system that puts people first — from a sliding scale model that considers wealth not just income, to showing up as a "veg tender" who knows his community by name. He challenges the way we think about where our food comes from, who profits from it, and why the most radical thing you can do is choose differently.

It is a tough time to be a farmer. President Trump's tariffs last year raised many of the costs of farming and shrunk food exports. Threats of immigration raids have caused major labor shortages. And now, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent the price of diesel and fertilizer skyrocketing. We talk about the new pressures on an already stressed agriculture industry in California, how farmers are coping and the impact it all may have on consumers. Guests: Dan Sumner, professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics, UC Davis; director, Agricultural Issues Center for the University of California Don Cameron, vice president and general manager, Terranova Ranch; president, California State Board of Food and Agriculture Stuart Woolf, president and CEO, Woolf Farming & Processing Alexis Maxwell, senior equity analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence Learn more about your ad choices.

Environmentalism Series #4 of 4. Rachel Carson is often touted as inspiring the modern global environmental movement. In 1962, when Carson's book Silent Spring was published, she was a fifty-five-year-old former government employee and an award-winning writer of oceanography books. She did not hold a university position, had no PhD, nor was she affiliated with any political organization. She did not consider herself a feminist, and by most accounts she had little taste for public controversy. Unbeknownst to most people, she was also living with advancing breast cancer, a fact she kept largely hidden from the public while she faced down the combined fury of the American chemical industry, the Department of Agriculture, and a scientific establishment that was furious with her. Carson was, as historian Linda Lear puts it, "an improbable revolutionary," yet she changed the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
