In this episode of Oh Crop!, host Kat Morgan sits down with Dr. Andy Jarvis — Director of the Future of Food at the Bezos Earth Fund.
Andy reflects on over two decades of work at the intersection of food security and environmental sustainability, and how that experience has shaped his present work on agro-biodiversity conservation, climate adaptation, and sustainable protein.
The discussion dives into several key issues and tensions, including reducing the food system's enormous emissions and land footprint, the complexity of meeting human nutritional needs and keeping food culturally relevant, and the role of philanthropy and strategic investment — including the Bezos Earth Fund's US$1B commitment to Food Systems Transformation — mobilized with the intention of spurring transformational change.
Andy closes by sharing what gives him hope: the brilliant entrepreneurs and scientists he encounters through his work, and — perhaps most powerfully — young people dedicated to changing the world.
