On this episode of Next Africa, we track how the fallout from the Iran war is rippling through global supply chains, pushing up costs and raising concerns over food prices across the continent. Bloomberg’s Jennifer Zabasajja speaks to UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed on the growing strain on Africa’s food systems and the impact on food security. Plus, we head to South Africa’s Karoo, where a harsh desert landscape is being transformed into a potential pistachio hub.
