Inspired and saddened by the cruel reality of women's circumstances so heartbreakingly detailed in @SalamatujGarba's passionate @AGRF intervention. Women need to be listened to, they need targetted and creative financing solutions, and they need it now.

Fantastic session on #genderlensinvesting during @AGRAAlliance's Dealroom. @LadyAgri made some fantastic points - including that broader commitments have to be translated onto a granular level. Implementation happens at the local level, so that's where we need to look.

One of the things you learn as a scientist is the ability to look at a plot and think, "that just doesn't look right." That's the feeling I got when I saw this plot that Lomborg is currently pushing.
