On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Abby Maxman, the President and CEO of Oxfam America for Part 1 of Food Tank’s new series exploring the far-reaching impacts of dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development. They discuss why the loss of humanitarian assistance is particularly damaging for women and girls, the eroded trust that could take years to rebuild with on-the-ground partners, and the consequences that will be felt for generations to come.

Plus, hear about what the future holds for vertical farming, a recent court’s action on animal welfare regulations, Côte D’Ivoire’s new tech hubs to empower women farmers, and more.
