A big believer of businesses and entrepreneurs as driving force for human development. Fahad believes as rationale human beings we don't buy or invest in "things". We don't make decisions based on features and benefits, we make decisions based on emotion, intuition and a range of other calculations which are complex in nature similar to the markets which we thrive in.This is true for the poor farmers, producers, big corporations, governments and financial institutions. Prior to founding iFarmer, Fahad worked for 10 years in the "market systems development" and ” and Private sector development space with experience in agriculture, micro-enterprise development, value chain development, policy analysis and private sector engagement across various countries in South Asia.Prior to iFarmer, Fahad worked at the NGO, Swisscontact-Katalyst, The World Bank, CARE Australia and SPRING Accelerator.Fahad has a BBA from NSU (2006-2010) and a Masters in Economics from NSU (2012-2013).About iFarmeriFarmer can connect farmers, space/landowners, investors, and crop buyers to create a complete farming supply chain.To date, iFarmer is used by 71000+ farmers in Bangladesh and growing rapidly month over month.iFarmer is an impact tech startup that has developed an innovative online platform that enables anyone in Bangladesh to easily sponsor in farming and livestock. Being a part of the iFarmer community is more than earning returns.Food, Energy, and Water are peoples primary needs, that's always decreasing. By 2050 world Population will reach 9.1 billion and 70% of world population will be living in urban space.In Bangladesh, there is an urban population of 30%, which is likely to increase up to 50% by 2030.The question is who will feed this growing population?

"And the tension sometimes in the office was palpable. And to get things done you had to start to think about how to keep people on a common goal, despite some of the rivalry or politics that people brought with them to the office." Dougal Freeman   Dougal Freeman was working in Iraq during the second Gulf war and narrowly escaped the Canal Hotel bombing in 2003. Based in Jordan with Care Australia he talks about some of the realities of humanitarian work and about the kidnapping and subsequent murder of his boss. Dougal's experience is far from ordinary and he paints a vivid picture of his work-life in agri-businesses in Africa and in the commercial and not-for-profit sectors. He is so much more than the number's person and we talk about understanding people and getting people working toward a common goal, particularly when tensions are high. We also talk about impact, value addition and value destruction and how crucial it is that people in management and teams really care about what they do.    Dougal Freeman is an accomplished CFO with more than two decades of global experience spanning the private sector, NGOs and not-for-profits. He has worked extensively across Africa and the Middle East for major international charities, food and agribusiness organisations, and then held Deputy CEO and Finance Director roles in public health consultancy and for a Nobel Prize-winning charity in the UK.

I hope you're having a lovely January! And thank you for all your feedback on last fortnights episode. I'm so glad you enjoyed and it's always lovely to hear from the wonderful women (and men!) in the Balanced Ballerinas Community. Today's guest is Caitlin Thamm who is the founder of Dance Care Australia. A space which has been created for dancers of all ages to be heard and understood in whichever capacity they need by someone who knows what it can be like to be a dancer. Caitlin ​spent 15 years of her life studying to be a dancer. She began full-time training at the age of 13, which led her to finishing final years of high school at Queensland Dance School of Excellence. Following graduation Caitlin completed a year of Queensland Ballet's Pre-Professional Program in 2013 whilst participating in various company productions. Upon graduating, Caitlin continued to train and traveled all over Europe auditioning for ballet companies in search for employment. Facing many struggles and disappointments she decided to return home to Australia and re-evaluate her future. After making the difficult decision to stop dancing, a story so common, Caitlin applied for university and completed a Bachelor of Human Services in 2018. ​ During this time she began to notice the scarce amount of industry specific mental health support for dancers in Australia and decided to use her own experience within the dance world to support dancers going through the adversities the industry produces. In December 2020 Caitlin graduated with a Master of Counselling from the University of Queensland and is now a registered counsellor with The Australian Counselling Association. ​Caitlin has a heart of gold and just wants to help young dancers flourish! I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Caitlin and I believe you will too...

Is the COVID-19 pandemic eroding China's influence in Southeast Asia? How has it affected perceptions of China in the region, and how might this shape China's foreign relations in Asia? While China's rising influence in Southeast Asia has undoubtedly brought about economic development opportunities, it also presents complex geopolitical challenges for the region. These have come to the forefront amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as many Southeast Asian countries struggle to contain risks of economic downturn. The effects of the pandemic and resulting social isolation measures have been particularly pronounced in the manufacturing sector which relies heavily on Chinese companies' investments. Dr Pichamon Yeophantong sat down with Dr Natali Pearson to look at the impact of COVID-19 on Southeast Asia's relations with China, with a particular focus on the garment manufacturing industry and its implications on human rights. About Pichamon Yeophantong [พิชามญชุ์ เอี่ยวพานทอง; 皮查蒙·约范童]: Pichamon is an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS), UNSW Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA). She also leads the Responsible Business Lab and Environmental Justice and Human Rights Project at HASS. A China specialist by training, Pichamon's research focuses on Chinese foreign policy and the political economy of sustainable development (including resource conflict and energy transitions) in the Asia-Pacific. In addition to her ARC-funded project on how to better regulate Chinese resource and infrastructure investment overseas, Pichamon is a Chief Investigator on a CARE Australia project evaluating sexual harassment prevention in Southeast Asian garment factories. In 2018, she was awarded the CHASS Australia 'Future Leader' Prize by the Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Pichamon has conducted extensive fieldwork in China and Southeast Asia, having served as a consultant to the Africa Progress Panel, Overseas Development Institute, International Rivers, and the American Friends Service Committee, among others. Her work has appeared in such publications as Asian Survey, Chinese Journal of International Politics, Contemporary Southeast Asia, Pacific Affairs, and Water International.

With worsening of the underlying cause people experience progressive loss of their abilties to communicate and care for themselves.   While this loss is almost universally considered inevitable scientists and therapists are increasingly questioning this perception.

Last December, the Coalition announced the largest cuts to the aid budget in the history of the Australian aid program: $1 billion or 20 per cent in a single year. How and where will these savings be made? To what extent will key bilateral partners, such as PNG and Indonesia, be protected – and which countries and regions will experience the brunt of the cuts? Will multilateral and NGO allocations be protected, or savaged? Which sectors will be cut? Will humanitarian aid again be compressed?
