On the eve of International Women's Day, we heard from this marvellous group of #WomenInAg about how they got into ag, challenges they've overcome and what we can do to support a more diverse and inclusive sector. We must continue to advocate for the inclusion of women in roles across the ag sector!

150+ Nobel and World Food Prize Laureates have made an unprecedented plea for financial and political backing to develop “moonshot” tech to avert future hunger catastrophe. Will require 'mission-style' investments in fundamental and applied R&D. www.worldfoodprize.org/en/laureates...
