The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Gender Conference enters its second day today in Cape Town. The event brings together scientists, policymakers, and development partners from across the globe to focus on advancing gender equality in agriculture, food, and water systems. With climate shocks, rising food prices, and resource pressures affecting smallholder farmers, particularly women and young people, the conference is being closely watched as a critical moment for shaping both policy and practice. Joining us now is Dr Nicoline de Haan, Director of the CGIAR Gender Impact Platform.
