Episode description
A Rhode Island company that provides life-saving nutrition to children around the world is getting caught up in the Trump administration’s dismantling of the US Agency for International Development.
Edesia Nutrition has been on a roller coaster of canceled contracts and late payments. Founder and CEO Navyn Salem says every hour the plant is closed means 415 children aren’t getting the food they need. "We must be the problem solvers in this equation," she says. She joins host Ed Fitzpatrick to talk about what comes next. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com.
