How to Save a Planet

Presenting: Hot Farm – Grain of the Future

This week we’re sharing an episode from a new podcast called Hot Farm. It’s from our friends at the Food &amp; Environment Reporting Network. The podcast is about what farmers are doing – or could be doing – to take on climate change. In this episode, we’ll hear about the crops farmers actually grow. And we’ll explore the question, Can that change? Because as the world gets hotter and the weather more extreme, we’ll have to reimagine what we sow and harvest — and also what we eat. It won’t be easy.
