The podcast is about Water Scarcity and Food Security. Eko skola committee researched the topic and a member from the Manikata Agricultural Cooperative was invited to give a talk to the committee about the topic. The students asked questions during the talk on the research that was previously done. This was followed by a podcast recorded in a studio where two members of the Eko skola committee discussed the topic with Dr. Mario Cardona. It was a good experience for these two Year 6 students to do a recording of Podcast at a studio. https://ln5.sync.com/dl/290eb9210/view/video/61640657840101?sync_id=0#j8nxedgq-u8ytbtnf-pi6m5633-yxr45bw8 https://ln5.sync.com/dl/290eb9210#j8nxedgq-u8ytbtnf-pi6m5633-yxr45bw8
