Fix The News 307: Solar is liberation. Kenya beats sleeping sickness. MPAs work. Chemosynthetic life & the wood wide web.

We’re kicking things off this week with our latest podcast episode, about one of the best things happening in the world right now: school meals. We spoke to the amazing Wawira Njiru, who’s gone from making lunch for 25 children out of a makeshift kitchen to serving hot, nutritious and affordable school meals to more than half a million students across Kenya every day. Topics discussed: why the world's future leaders need a school meal today, the logistics of running an operation at this scale, the power of a simple idea, why optimism matters, school meals as ‘an engine of potential’ and how a well-fed future could change Africa.
