Rita covered The Ministerial Conference on Biodiversity, Food Security and Climate Change in Bali in 2011 which brought together experts from 127 countries.
She will share how Indonesians cope with rocketing food prices, climate change and why the government struggles to create a pro-farming policy and effective food security policy.
Rita will join us via Skype video conference.
