Welcome to the Daugherty Water for Food Podcast! Since 2010, the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraska has worked toward one goal: a food and water secure world — one in which global food security is ensured without compromising the use of water to meet other essential human and environmental needs. It's a daunting vision, but one that is vitally important. This podcast amplifies the voices of those making waves in this space. Scienza

    56 - Water, Climate and Health
    Sep 21 2026
    In this episode of the Water for Food Podcast, Taylor Dahl talks with Dr. Jesse Bell about his recent trips to Mongolia for COP17 and Sweden for World Water Week. They explore how drought, water resilience and human health are connected, and why communities need to move from reacting to drought to planning and preparing for its impacts. Jesse also shares insights on global collaboration, capacity building and knowledge sharing, while reflecting on how lessons from around the world can strengthen drought resilience here in Nebraska. Dr. Bell is director of the Water, Climate and Health Program at UNMC and the director of Water, Climate and Health at the University of Nebraska's Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute. Taylor Dahl is Communications and Community Outreach Specialist at the Water, Climate & Health Program.

    55 - Food security and national security: Protecting agriculture from farm to table
    Aug 21 2026

    Food and agriculture are more connected to national security than most people realize. In this episode, host Frances Hayes sits down with Meghan Jackson, Director for Food, Agriculture and Environment Security at the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) at the University of Nebraska. They discuss how we can protect the nation's crops, livestock and water systems from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.

    Meghan shares lessons from her background at high-security biodefense facilities; breaks down real-world examples like New World screwworm and African swine fever; and explains why redundancy and resilience are key to protecting our food supply. The conversation also covers cybersecurity risks; water scarcity; Nebraska's growing bioeconomy; and how producers and policymakers can strengthen the systems we all rely on.

    54 - Decoding water quality at the Water Sciences Lab
    Jul 26 2026
    In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the Water Sciences Laboratory at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Host Frances Hayes sits down with Research Lab Manager Jennah Duncan to explore the vital work of monitoring our water resources. From the advanced technology of mass spectrometry and isotopic analysis to the real-world impact of agricultural management, we discuss how lab data informs critical water quality decisions. Jennah also breaks down the complexities of emerging contaminants like PFAS—often called "forever chemicals"—and shares insights from her first year leading the lab. Join us as we examine how Nebraska's water quality challenges offer lessons for agricultural regions worldwide and learn why understanding the journey of our water is more important than ever.
