NPR: Helping Africa Grow Its Own Food

National Public Radio hosted an interview over the weekend with Harvard Professor Robert Paarlberg about U.S. investment in farm development in Africa. It’s a brief, but good, synopsis on the challenges facing both short- and long-term solutions in the Horn of Africa.

As an organization who both provides Emergency Relief and long-term Sustainable Development, we find ourselves right in the middle of these conversations.

Dan Ruth is Lutheran World Relief’s Interactive Marketing Manager and an ordained pastor in the ELCA.
