  • Tomatoes, technology and the Future of Food
    Feb 3 2022

    Today we discuss how technology can help the world overcome the big food waste problem and create better food sustainability for all. We talk with Winnie Yegon who talks about how she pivoted from a career in art to one in agriculture working in food systems. She offers her experience and joy in the farming process and gives us a window into the day to day role of a agricultural economist.


    Meanwhile Jason tells a story of how baby tomato was lagging behind and needs to ketchup. Get it?

  • Post Pandemic Agribusiness and finding ways to invest $1M
    Feb 3 2022

    This week we discover that $1m is actually not a lot of money that that it can go away pretty quickly when working at scale. We are joined by Mr Kiriinya Kithinji from WYLDE International to discuss the recovery strategy for agribusiness that were adversely affected by COVID 19. We redefine the meaning of "value" in value addition and measure the estimated impact of the EVERGREEN ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal.

    In this episode Sheila leads a campaign to encourage the Ministry of Agriculture to migrate all their services to an online platform for greater access to farmers who may not be physically in Nairobi. We hear about the move by the government of Kenya to create the new Huduma Center for farmers which will be an all inclusive tech platform that can support the work of farmers from production all the way to finding markets.
