About this listen

Welcome back to Season Two of The Hot Potato Podcast!


We start this season by asking: how precarious is the world’s food security, and how can we improve it?

In this episode, we discuss climate change, food insecurity, and the need for everyone in the food supply chain to work together. We also explore innovative solutions and partnerships that are helping ensure those who need food the most can get it.

Joining the discussion is Max Koeune, President and CEO of McCain Foods, Brent Preston, co-owner of The New Farm and President of the Ecological Farmers Association (Ontario), and Gillian Flies, co-owner of The New Farm and Executive Director of The New Farm Centre for Climate Action.
