SPARC launches new podcast 'Dynamic Drylands' featuring ILRI experts

A new podcast mini-series, Dynamic Drylands, is taking a fresh look at aid, development and resilience in the drylands of Africa and the Middle East, and features several scientists from the International Livestock Research Institute as contributors.

As climate change forces new, complex challenges on the millions of farmers and herders who live in these regions, they are responding.

Broadcaster Bola Mosuro asks: What does long-term resilience look like in these fast-changing places? How are pastoralists and farmers adapting and innovating? And what can governments, development organizations and businesses do to more effectively support them?

The podcast is produced by Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC).
