      From Vulnerability to Resilience: How Kenya Is Rewriting the Fight Against Hunger
      Feb 24 2026

      Progress is possible. Kenya proves it every day. When a nation treats social protection as a right you see the shift from survival to stability.

      In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Dr. Lynett Ochuma, Acting Secretary at the State Department for Social Protection in Senior Citizens Affairs in Kenya, explains how the country is rewriting the fight against hunger. Moving beyond short-term cash transfers, Kenya implements an economic inclusion strategy known as the Ultra-Poor Graduation strategy pairing financial support with mentorship, productive assets, climate-resilient enterprises, and community-led targeting to build lasting income.

      You hear how participants increase meal frequency, strengthen savings through village associations, and gain access to national social protection systems through digital registries. Youth engagement, political will, and global partnerships add momentum that extends beyond Kenya's borders.

      Press play on this episode of From Vulnerability to Resilience: How Kenya Is Rewriting the Fight Against Hunger and step into a real-world blueprint for change.

      Dr. Lynett Ochuma is the Acting Secretary at the State Department for Social Protection in Senior Citizens Affairs in Kenya, where she leads the country's groundbreaking Economic Inclusion Program. With over 31 years in public service, she has been instrumental in advancing Kenya's Ultra-Poor Graduation Strategy, shifting families from vulnerability to resilience through rights-based social protection. As Vice Chair of the Global Alliance Board of Champions for Ending Poverty and Hunger, she champions inclusive development and global collaboration to accelerate progress toward Zero Hunger. Under her leadership, Kenya has strengthened legal frameworks, scaled cash transfers, and built systems that empower the poorest households to become self-reliant.

    • From Seed to System: Rethinking Food Security in Canada

      From Seed to System: Rethinking Food Security in Canada
      Feb 17 2026
      A single seed holds the power to transform acres of land. In the same way, one policy shift or bold investment in agriculture can reshape a nation's food future. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, MP Michael Coteau brings you inside Canada's food conversation from the federal level to the grassroots. As Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, he explains how precision farming, AI-driven technology, and smarter regulations can strengthen Canada's competitiveness while keeping food safe and accessible. You'll hear how school nutrition programs change children's lives, why Canada's national school food program matters, and how community-based growing builds resilience. Michael makes a compelling case that food sovereignty begins locally, scales nationally, and contributes globally. Consider how you can help build a food system that is smarter, stronger, and truly Canadian. Tune in to the full episode of From Seed to System: Rethinking Food Security in Canada. Michael Coteau is the Member of Parliament for Scarborough—Woburn and currently serves as Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. In this role, he helps lead national conversations on food security, sustainable agriculture, and innovation across Canada's food systems. Prior to federal politics, Michael served for a decade as a Member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, holding key cabinet portfolios including Children and Youth Services and Community and Social Services.

    • Why Child Poverty and Food Insecurity Still Define Canada

      Why Child Poverty and Food Insecurity Still Define Canada
      Feb 10 2026
      Canada's wealth tells only part of the story. Behind the headlines, millions of children face daily choices no child should have to make. In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Leila Sarangi, Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation at Family Service Toronto, connects child poverty, food insecurity, and policy decisions shaping life across the country. Drawing on decades of community-based work and national advocacy, she explains why hunger in Canada is not inevitable, but the result of choices that can be changed. The discussion breaks down how income insecurity, rising food costs, and systemic inequities place children and single-parent households at higher risk. You'll learn why food banks and short-term fixes fall short, and how income supports like the Canada Child Benefit, fair taxation, and community-driven food systems can create lasting stability. Learn how collective pressure can move Canada closer to a future where every child has enough to eat. Watch the full episode of Why Child Poverty and Food Insecurity Still Define Canada. Leila Sarangi is the Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation at Family Service Toronto, bringing over 25 years of experience in community-based research, organizing, and nonprofit leadership. Her work centers on connecting lived community experiences to public policy in order to drive lasting, systems-level change. Leila applies equity and anti-oppression frameworks—particularly intersectional gender equity—to issues including poverty reduction, housing, and violence prevention. Known for her collaborative leadership style, she leads complex, data-informed initiatives that bridge strategy, policy, and frontline realities.
