Show Notes

Australia may seem like an isolated country, but it is part of a wider ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific – especially when it comes to food. As food scarcity threatens, is food security a problem we need to tackle as a collective? What is Australia’s role in achieving food security in the Asia-Pacific region? We talk to Professor Andrew Campbell, CEO of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, and

Mr. Sridhar Dharmapuri, Senior Food Safety and Nutrition Officer for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok, to get some answers. Today’s interview is hosted by Cosmos journalist Dr Deborah Devis.
