Welcome to Bite the Talk, the podcast that dives deep into the pressing issues of our time. I am Joyce, your host for today, and we are honoured to be joined by a special guest: Dr. Sanjo Faniro, who is the National Convenor of the United Nations Food System Summit in Nigeria, and also the Director for Social Development at the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning. In this role he has responsibility for the coordination of food systems, transformation initiatives, and ensuring effective implementation of the national pathways for food systems transformation. In addition, his ministry has responsibility for nutrition coordination, and implementation of the National multi-sectoral plan of action for food and nutrition in Nigeria.  In this episode we'll be asking what is it really like to lead and coordinate the process on food systems transformation within the government of Nigeria? And as we approach the United Nations Food Systems Summit Stocktaking Moment, what needs to happen to drive further progress?
