Show Notes

Russia’s war in Ukraine has deepened a global food crisis that has left hundreds of millions facing acute hunger.

World Food Program Chief Economist Arif Husain discusses the state of global hunger, why it’s vital that we rethink our response to conflict and what can be done in the immediate to stave off the worst.
