Máximo Torero Cullen is one of the world’s leading voices on global hunger and food security. Currently serving as Chief Economist at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), he uses his economic expertise to work towards the goal of a world where nobody goes to bed hungry.
“I have been through many problems in life, which I have learned a lot as an economist. I was in the hyperinflation in Peru. I was in wars in Peru and terrorism… I have been in massive earthquake situations. So I have seen a lot, but I never expected how complex this sector would become.”
FAO partners with governments around the world to invest in areas with untapped agricultural potential, transforming lives in rural farming communities. It also works to secure the global food supply during crises such as the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, or the crisis in Strait of Hormuz. In this episode, Máximo Torero Cullen reflects on the process of dampening food price shocks, on investing in sustainable nutrition, and shares why he always trusts the knowledge of farmers.

Can businesses make more money by restoring nature? According to new research, the answer is yes.
New research has found 50 ways that businesses in areas that span the range of business itself (think everything from fashion to agriculture to recycling to mining) can both make money and leave nature better-off. The research discovered that globally, $7 trillion is spent every year destroying nature, and only about $200 billion protecting it.
Laura Fisher leads the World Economic Forum’s work on nature-positive industries.
Here she breaks down the practical (and simple) ways businesses can grow while giving back to nature.
