The launch of the Podcast on Ecosystem Restoration

Let's Talk Ecosystems! 

In the context of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Europe Office and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have interviewed young environmentalists who are making a positive change for our planet. This podcast aims to give the floor to these passionate people who are doing great things all around the world, so they can share their experiences and inspire others. New episodes arrive every Wednesday. 

The first episode of the podcast "Who doesn’t love chocolate?" was launched on 29 March 2023. Join in for this first episode and meet up with Louise Mabulo, a Filipino environmentalist, farmer, social entrepreneur, and master chef. Louise is the founder of The Cacao Project, a social enterprise that works with over 200 farmers in the Philippines. She shares her thoughts with us on farming as a career choice, an opportunity to provide green jobs and landscape stewardship. She’s also a chocolate expert, explaining what fair trade means to the industry and how cacao farming can happen sustainably. Louise tells us about the power of food and recipes, how cooking can galvanize entire populations, promoting the farm-to-table narrative. In addition, Louise advises how young people can get involved in ecosystem inclusive spaces.
