About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in the field of agro-climate resilient governance and the lead instructor for the Global Certificate Course in Agro-Climate Resilient Governance. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a little bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent the last 20 years working in agriculture and climate change, and I've seen firsthand the importance of building resilience in our food systems. This course is designed to help learners understand the complex interplay between agriculture, climate, and governance. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Can you share with us some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Certainly, one trend that we're seeing is a growing interest in climate-smart agriculture, which is an approach that aims to increase agricultural productivity and incomes while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience to climate change. HOST: I see, and what challenges have you faced in the field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One of the biggest challenges is the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter. It requires a solid understanding of both climate science and governance frameworks, which can be a lot to take in for some learners. However, we've designed the course to be accessible to those with varying levels of background knowledge. HOST: That's great to hear. Finally, what are your thoughts on the future of this area or industry? GUEST: I'm optimistic about the future. I think we're seeing a growing recognition of the importance of building resilience in our food systems, and I believe that this course can play a critical role in equipping learners with the knowledge and skills they need to make a real difference. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on the Global Certificate Course in Agro-Climate Resilient Governance. It's been a pleasure having you on the show. GUEST: Thank you for having me, it's been a pleasure.
