Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 2008, prices for basic foods like corn and rice spiked worldwide. In 2009, the global financial crisis further destabilized many developing economies. Now, international donor countries and non-governmental organizations are renewing their focus on global hunger and food security. Our special joint broadcast with InterAction continues with a look at new U.S. food policies.
