This show grew from a proposal for Citizen Diplomacy with North Korea through agriculture, inspired by Nikita Khruschev's 1959 visit to the Iowa farm of Roswell Garst. We heard of this idea from Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, president of the World Food Prize, "the Nobel Prize of Agriculture," awarded annually to ground-breaking agricultural researchers all over the world. Liz Garst told us her memories of being at the Khrushchev-Garst meeting, as well as the way it came about and its pivotal role in thawing the Cold War. Daniel Jasper, Public Education and Advocacy Coordinator for Asia for the American Friends Service Committee, described some of today's "back channels" of communication that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson mentioned in his recent visit to Beijing. They all suggested: "If it worked with the Soviet Union, is it possible it could work with North Korea?" Produced and hosted by Susan Franzen at KHOI Radio, Ames, Iowa.
