“There are about 258 million people in over 50 countries in the world who are at crisis level of hunger. …Two thirds of those people are farmers themselves.” What is the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and why does it exist? To answer that, two very special guests are joining us for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Harold Cooper joins hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama in the podcast room, and Beth Bechdol joins us virtually all the way from Rome, Italy. If you’ve tuned in for a while, you may recall that Harold is the CEO of Premier Companies, and Beth is the Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
You’ll hear from Harold regarding some of Beth’s successes in the agriculture industry within the state of Indiana and the United States, and Beth will explain what the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is, and some of what her role involves. You’ll also hear about why the organization was founded and how the FAO works to eliminate hunger and food insecurity across the globe. “There’s something that connects us as a part of agriculture, and I think that really is something that, on a human level, really needs to be prioritized and something that we don’t lose sight of.”
