🎙️ This Week on the Podcast: Dr. Tchatat Gabriel Sounds the Alarm on Cassava Farming’s Hidden Cost

Cassava is a lifeline for over 800 million people across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It’s drought-resistant, thrives in poor soils, and plays a vital role in food security for the world’s most vulnerable communities.

But in our latest episode, we dive deep into the groundbreaking work of Dr. and Prof. Tchatat Gabriel, who exposes cassava’s darker environmental consequences.

🌍 As highlighted in Dr. Tchatat Gabriel’s article, the global cassava boom is accelerating deforestation, soil degradation, and water pollution. Forests are vanishing. Ecosystems are breaking down. And toxic runoff from cassava fields is endangering freshwater supplies.

Is our food security coming at the planet’s expense?

Tune into the podcast where we break down Dr. Tchatat Gabriel’s alarming findings—and explore the solutions he champions.

🛠️ According to Dr. Tchatat Gabriel, all hope is not lost. Across the globe, innovative farmers are already putting sustainability into practice:

✅ Intercropping cassava with legumes to revive soil health
✅ Turning cassava waste into bioenergy and eco-friendly packaging
✅ Replacing pesticides with biopesticides like neem oil
✅ Recycling wastewater from cassava starch processing

🎧 In this episode, we spotlight success stories from Cameroon and Thailand, echoing the sustainable models detailed in Dr. Tchatat Gabriel’s report. From agroecological transitions to circular economies, his research is shaping real-world change.
