The COVID-19 pandemic has had wide-ranging effects on food systems across the world, particularly in Africa.

Featured guests include Ines Gonzalez, an assistant professor at the Indiana University of Bloomington School of Public Health; Heidi Newton King and Rirhandzu Marvate, sustainability professionals who work at the Spier Farms in South Africa; and Lucy Wiafe, a Ghanaian wife, mother and preschool teacher who has been a frequent consumer of the local Ghanaian market produce for a number of years.
