Dr. Kurt A. Rosentrater

Russia continues to destroy grain export infrastructure in Ukraine.  This has global implications to food security.  But this is not the first time that grain has been contentious between Russia and Ukraine.
Today our guest is Professor Mark Tauger.  He is an expert in agricultural history, especially that of famines in Ukraine, the Soviet Union, and Bengal.  Join us as we talk about famines.  You can find more information about his background at his faculty webpage at West Virginia University, and his publications at his Academia.edu website.
If you want more information about the state of world food security, I highly recommend the latest publication from the U.N. FAO:  The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
