Agricultural finance is a hot topic, and no wonder – it’s a key lever for turning agriculture from a source of environmental harm and social inequalities to a driver of conservation and social inclusiveness. This lively panel session will give participants the chance to debate emerging findings and ideas, and spark collaborations for change.
