Welcome to the Hot Potato Podcast: a series that grabs the burning issue of climate change with both hands and asks how regenerative agriculture can help solve the problem.
We all know farming systems need to change to help feed the 8 billion people (and growing!) people on this planet. But how? Here on the Hot Potato Podcast, we’re starting with- who’d have thought it- the humble spud!
As the third most consumed crop globally, potatoes play a vital role in how land is farmed and how people are fed.
So keep your ears peeled as, together, we chip away at the hottest challenge facing food producers today

Welcome back to Season Two of The Hot Potato Podcast!
We start this season by asking: how precarious is the world’s food security, and how can we improve it?
In this episode, we discuss climate change, food insecurity, and the need for everyone in the food supply chain to work together. We also explore innovative solutions and partnerships that are helping ensure those who need food the most can get it.
Joining the discussion is Max Koeune, President and CEO of McCain Foods, Brent Preston, co-owner of The New Farm and President of the Ecological Farmers Association (Ontario), and Gillian Flies, co-owner of The New Farm and Executive Director of The New Farm Centre for Climate Action.
