Interview with U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe Charles Ray

The Nourishing the Planet team is exploring the latest approaches to food security in Africa through a series of interviews with policy makers, politicians, non-profit and organizational leaders, journalists, celebrities, chefs, musicians, and farmers. These leaders' thoughts - and hopes - for agricultural development in Africa will be available in a series posted on the Nourishing the Planet blog and Eye on Earth.

Worldwatch Senior Researcher Danielle Nierenberg last week met the new U.S. ambassador to Zimbabwe, Charles Ray, and discussed how to best develop the agricultural sector of a country facing political turmoil, severe unemployment, and high food prices. Click here for the full interview.
