800 million people are going to bed hungry every night, but 2 billion people in the world are malnourished. Farmers across the globe produce enough food to feed 10 billion people, yet there are only 7.6 billion of us.

We know there is enough food to go around, but filling tummies is only the start, we also need to make sure we are filling it with a varied diet. CrowdScience visits Nairobi, a hub for agricultural scientists, who have met to discuss what changes are needed to get the right crops into the soil and the right food on the plates of those who need it.

Presenters Anand Jagatia and Alex Lathbridge are joined by alive audience and a panel of experts Lindiwe Sibanda, Sieglinde Snapp and Alex Awiti. Together they explore questions from our listeners in Kenya and around the world, like whether we can restore natural habitats whilst promoting food security; why human waste isn鈥檛 used more commonly as a fertiliser; and what impact empowering women in agriculture will have on our ability to feed the world.

Recorded at CGIAR Science Week at the UN headquarters in Nairobi.
