In this month\\u2019s edition we focus on biodiversity and agriculture. As the CBD COP15 takes place in China we\'re talking about a new biodiversity strategy \\u2013 putting sustainable agriculture at the heart of IFAD\\u2019s operations. Also we\\u2019ll be hearing from IFAD projects that mainstream biodiversity conservation in Haiti, Turkey and Eswatini. And we see how ecological farming in Bangladesh is reaping rewards.

Plus we\\u2019ll be making a deep dive in to yak wool production and news of how artificial intelligence is making its way into the farmyard with Seeker Technologies. We\\u2019re also proud to welcome a new chef to IFAD\\u2019s Recipes for Change programme \\u2013 Chef Rob Rubba from Washington DC. And with the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues taking place in New York we find out more about why Free Prior and Informed Consent is where it\\u2019s at.

This is Farms. Food. Future. \\u2013 a podcast that\\u2019s Good for You, Good for the Planet and Good for Farmers brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
