In the 19th episode of Asia’s Farm to Fork: 5 Good Questions Podcast, we spoke to Mei Ing Cheok, Food & Agriculture, Corporate Partnerships (Asia), Save the Children, to discuss the work that Save the Children is doing and how child labour in agriculture is a pertinent issue to be resolved especially in the Southeast Asia region. Mei Ing highlights some sobering statistics on what children are experiencing on a daily basis, including the factors that might exacerbate the ongoing situation. Mei Ing also talks about the initiatives that Save the Children has been working on, and working with partners on various levels because this is "too big of an issue for any one organization to tackle alone."
