In this first episode of Reset the Table, Ambassador Ertharin Cousin discusses the differences between today’s global food security crisis and the 2007-2008 global food-price crisis, and ways global responses should differ accordingly. Ambassador Cousin addresses the rise of non-communicable diseases related to poor diets, the impacts of climate change on global food security, the rise of food insecurity in urban areas. Caitlin Welsh and Ambassador Cousin also discuss the ways food insecurity mirrors patterns of racial inequalities in the United States, the U.S. response to food insecurity during the Covid-19 pandemic, and what is required of a comprehensive global food security agenda that addresses these concurrent challenges.
