A Year in an African Farm Community on the Brink of Change

Hour 1:           What is life like for Africa’s small farmers – many of whom are women and most of whom struggle to even feed their families year-round? We’ll spend this hour with Roger Thurow, senior fellow for Global Agriculture and Food Policy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and author of the new book “The Last Hunger Season: A Year in an African Farm Community on the Brink of Change” (PublicAffairs, 2012).
