On Thursday, April 21st, USAID and the MCC co-hosted a Side Event to the World Bank’s Annual Conference on Land and Poverty entitled “Roundtable Discussion on Land Access and Responsible Agribusiness Investment.” The event’s goal was to bring together stakeholders who often talk past each other (and, in some cases, view each other with suspicion) to interact with, and learn from, each other. USAID is actively engaging with these stakeholders in order to identify and develop strategies for agri-business investments that will leverage and complement Feed the Future goals, particularly the goals of empowering smallholder farmers and women.
