## Resource

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Jessica Fanzo, a Professor of Food Policy & Climate at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Europe. They discuss whether decisionmakers' awareness of the links between food, agriculture and climate is growing, the amazing potential of food systems transformation in urban centers, and what Fanzo believes would be a "game changer for humanity." Plus, organizations step up to help the victims of Venezuela's earthquakes, heatwaves hit Europe, 4.7 million people lose access to SNAP, and new research shows that an investment in food and agriculture systems can create millions of jobs in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan by 2050.
