  Bringing food and farming to the forefront of UN climate talks

  Nov 12, 202423 minS0

  Ministers and leaders from around 200 countries gather at global climate talks, this week and next, in Baku, Azerbaijan.<br />These UN-sponsored talks have been going for 29 years. As emissions continue to rise, and CO2 continues to accumulate in the atmosphere, heating the planet, you may rightly wonder about their role or usefulness. <br />But there is no other event on Earth yet to replace them with. <br />And at least they spark debate! Which is what we do, in our 18th episode of the New Food Finance. <br />This week, I spoke with Serhat Cicekoglu, founder of the venture capital fir...

  Jerry Nelson - Can AI help write the next IPCC climate report?

  Apr 30, 202430 minS0

  I interviewed Jerry Nelson, professor emeritus at the University of Illinois. His research career has spanned climate change and food security, as well as agriculture policy, trade and development. He is one of the world’s greatest experts on the economics of food security in an era of climate change. What he has to say on this really matters. My three top takeaways from this week’s podcast were: <br />A very interesting idea by Jerry for uniting two very topical issues – AI and climate change. Regarding the next IPCC report, due out by 2029, Jerry made an interesting connection between the rec...

  My key takeaways from this podcast were: <br />Trinity Agtech believes that carbon is just one part of the story, that farmers have much more to offer in terms of environmental benefits Their accounting tool is called Sandy, as “another person on the farm” The tool is used to measure changes in soil carbon, as well as farm impacts on soil, natural capital, biodiversity and waterCarbon is still a big part of what they do. They measure changes in soil carbon – which farmers can monetise via offset markets – using a combination of soil sampling and modellingThey find that farmers can use Sand...

  Can peptide-based bio-pesticides displace synthetic chemical pesticides?

  Sep 28, 202331 minS0

  Here are my main learning notes from this podcast, an interview with Anna Rath, CEO of Vestaron, the peptide-based pesticide company:<br />Vestaron’s product focus is peptides, or short-chain proteins. Anna says that they have the same reliability and efficacy as chemical pesticides, but more precision targeting, and therefore safer use.Vestaron’s products are based off naturally occurring toxins such as spider and scorpion venom. That poses a challenge for product manufacture. Spiders inject venom, but clearly injection is not an option for commercial products. So, Vestaron has developed oral products, which, when mixed with another substance, can reac...
