Media Appearances

Since the publication of my book, I’ve been invited to speak with a number of outlets:

• Cambridge Global Food Security Research Center [interview]
• Cambridge Development Podcast [interview]
• Associated Press: “Bill Gates: Technological Innovation Would Help Solve Hunger” [quoted]

In April 2018 I appeared on radio shows in the US and South Africa to discuss protests in Ghana that ensued after an agreement between the US military and Ghanaian government was made public. Both appearances can be accessed here:
