Waterproof 5: Nature’s Recipe. Water, Biodiversity and Food
Water, biodiversity and food: it’s Nature’s Recipe. But how do you keep these important drivers balanced, healthy, profitable and resilient? And what do jaguars and strawberries have to do with it? You’ll find out in this fifth episode of my podcast Waterproof for Partners for Water.
This episode tells stories about how water, biodiversity and food meet. Did you know that 70% of the world’s fresh water is used for food production? And that food production causes 70% of biodiversity loss. So, this show is about how scientists, engineers, officials, experts and indigenous people come together to work on solving these profound problems. I speak with guests in Ghana, Colombia, Mexico and the Netherlands who show the world CAN be more sustainable, or in the case of the berry growers – you see one of the field workers on the photo – in Jalisco State, Mexico, a sweeter and juicier place.
