People, Planet, Progress Podcast Episodes 1 & 2

On this first episode of People Planet Progress, we explore the link between socio-economic inclusion & planetary health through Uganda’s Participatory Integrated Plan for Environmental Stewardship (PIP). PIP empowers communities to balance land restoration with social and economic needs, highlighting the value of local involvement in sustainable development, climate resilience, and resource management. Emmanuel's stories from the field showcase how PIP drives long-term positive outcomes.

In this second episode of People Planet Progress, we explore the Gishanda Fish Farm in Rwanda, part of the Food Tech Africa initiative. Led by Larive International and supported by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency and SHV, the farm balances biodiversity conservation, community development, and commercial success. Through interviews with project leaders, we learn how eco-friendly aquaculture practices and local training programs improve food security, reduce overfishing, and create a sustainable model for future replication.
