Jean Martin Bauer is the author of The New Breadline: Hunger and Hope in the 21st Century. It is a brilliant account of why hunger is ravaging the world and what we can do about it. In this podcast JM talks about his career at the World Food Programme, starting from his first field experience right out of college to confronting heartbreaking stories like a mother in Mauritania cooking imaginary meals for her children. He delves into the staggering global hunger crisis, the complexities of humanitarian work, role of technology in recent times and the challenges of fighting food insecurity in war-torn countries. For someone who works on the frontline, JM is hopeful that we can all make a difference in our own way to help the cause.
