moderated by Dani. First, hear from Million Belay, General Coordinator of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in\xa0Africa, who discusses the need to invest in youth, the differences he sees between the\xa0agroecology and regenerative agriculture movements, and why he is pushing for a model for\xa0food systems that is grounded in community. Then, hear from Sandra Uwera, Global CEO of\xa0Fairtrade International. She touches on opportunities to empower women in agriculture, the\xa0connection between fair prices for farmers and environmental sustainability, and the regional\xa0networks that are helping producers improve their resilience.\xa0Both conversations were organized by Food Tank and the Food and Agriculture Pavilion during
the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP28).
