    How Blockchain can turn farmers into entrepreneurs

    My guest for this episode is Genevieve Leveille, the founder of AgriLedger, a startup working with farmers in Haiti to change the way produce is sold. NB: This interview was recorded back before the pandemic, back in 2019. Genevieve sent through an update letting me know that AgriLedger’s Haiti project went live in May 2020. ‘During the Pandemic, we were able to demonstrate a gain of over 750% for the farmers compared to the local price, she said.’] Follow Leena: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nairleena/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LeenaNairHR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leenanairhr/ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/leenanair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClHuT662il6ZwWrPXjZdfsw

    How World Eat for Good Day can change the way we think about food

    Did you know most humans eat just 12 crops and 5 animal species? I caught up with April Adams-Redmond, Unilever's Global VP Knorr, about the new Knorr campaign “Eat for Good” day, which wants to change our eating habits for good. It was so great to hear about this brilliant campaign – and to take some inspiration for mixing up my own recipes!

    What's it like being CHRO of one of the biggest businesses in the world?

    Especially during a global pandemic. I was interviewed by the Anish Singh and Rachael Hennin from our Unilever Australia and New Zealand team for their Heart 2 Heart Leadership journey podcast series last year. It was great to talk about some of the challenges we have faced and share how our teams have exceeded my expectations during what has been for so many a difficult, emotionally draining, bewildering year. NOTE: We do discuss the sad losses of life we have had at Unilever between 24:00mins to 24.40.  If you are grieving a loved one, or taking care of your mental wellbeing, please do approach with caution. You can watch this interview over on my Instagram or YouTube channels.  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nairleena/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/LeenaNairHR  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leenanairhr/
