About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have with us Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in agricultural policy and the lead instructor for the new course, "Professional Certificate in Agro-Climate Resilient Policies". Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent the last 20 years working on climate change adaptation in agriculture, and I've seen firsthand the importance of having policies in place that support farmers in building resilience to a changing climate. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share with us some current industry trends that are relevant to the course? GUEST: Sure, there's a growing recognition of the need for policies that promote sustainable agriculture and help farmers adapt to climate change. This includes things like crop insurance programs, conservation incentives, and research funding for climate-smart agriculture. HOST: I see. And what are some of the challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One of the biggest challenges is the interdisciplinary nature of the field. It requires knowledge of climate science, agriculture, economics, and policy. It can be difficult to find instructors with expertise in all of these areas. HOST: That's a great point. Finally, what are your thoughts on the future of this area or industry? GUEST: I'm optimistic. I see more and more countries and organizations recognizing the importance of climate-resilient agriculture and the need for effective policies. I believe this course will provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to make a real impact in this field. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. It's been a pleasure having you on the show. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.
