As many as 828 million people were affected by hunger in 2021—a number that is, alarmingly, growing. And at the end of a year that has seen food security disrupted by a number of unexpected issues, like Russia's attack on Ukraine, supply chain issues and inflation, it's expected that these problems will only get more acute. That's why it's more important than ever for the conversation around sustainable agriculture to include solutions that help boost productivity, rather than hamper it. So in this episode, we're joined by Mark Thompson, Nutrien's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, to talk about the intersection between food security, geopolitics, the economy and sustainability. He'll discuss Nutrien's ongoing efforts to combat these inflationary pressures and equip growers with the tools they need to do their jobs more sustainably and productively than ever. Because, at the end of the day, it's on us to feed and fuel the world while we fight climate change.
