Jeremy Brice on "Investment, Power and Protein in sub-Saharan Africa"

Who is investing in the food system and what are they investing in? What should the future of food, specifically protein, look like in sub-Saharan Africa? These are questions that Jeremy Brice explores in his new report: Investment, Power and Protein in sub-Saharan Africa. They are also highly relevant to the food and climate discussions happening now at COP-27 in Sharm-el Sheikh, Egypt (November 2022).In our chat with Jeremy Brice, lecturer at Manchester University, we discuss why the issue of protein is important in sub-Saharan Africa; we unpack three different investor visions for this region; and we reflect on the consequences of how little agricultural investment there is in the region compared to the rest of the world.This conversation is based on a newly published TABLE report by Jeremy Brice. Here you can read the executive summary or the full report.For more info and transcript, please visit: http://tabledebates.org/podcast/episode33
