I know that climate change is on most of your minds right now in one form or another.
\\n
\\nThe IPCC report came out, and it has got us thinking about so many aspects of life as we know it. And what needs to change in order to decrease emissions.
\\n
\\nToday we will be talking about responsibly feeding the world and protecting the planet.
\\n
\\nMy guest is Juliana Xavier, Director of Brand Management at Yara International, a global crop nutrition company.
\\n
\\nWe cover a lot.
\\n
\\nBut, the crux of the conversation is how are we going to feed 9.8 billion people in the world by 2050?
\\n
\\nAnd how will we do this in an environmentally sound way, especially if we know that growing food contributes to 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the world.
\\n
\\nKeeping in mind that to produce enough food for 9.8 billion people\\u2026. will mean doubling food production from where we are today.
\\n
\\nThis is not easy.
\\n
\\nBut as Juliana says. Agriculture is part of the climate change problem. And it\\u2019s also part of the solution.
\\n
\\nWe talk about all of this.
\\n
\\nListen to the podcast and better understand the challenges. But also her hope.
\\n
