You’ll love listening to our new season of Nature Answers: Rural Stories from a Changing Planet ??

We’re back with Season Two of our podcast, Nature Answers: Rural Stories from a Changing Planet.?

In the series, we ask a fundamental question: How can nature itself help us tackle the challenges of a changing world? Each episode, we dive into an inspiring story of how a community in rural Africa is harnessing the power of nature-based solutions to adapt, thrive, and heal the planet.?

In Season Two, our new host host Ivy Prosper takes us to her home country, Ghana, plus Uganda, Cote d’Ivoire, and Zambia, where we meet a woman growing her community, one tree at a time; young people banding together to save a swamp and the birds living in it; farmers using their ancestors' knowledge to keep their farms from flooding; and even communities using nature to help recover from addiction.

Nature Answers is produced by Farm Radio International in partnership with Carleton University Journalism students, who travelled to Africa to produce this series.
