This episode of The Work We Do features Lauren Phillips from the FAO, who discusses the critical role of women and youth in transforming agrifood systems. The conversation explores women's contributions, persistent gaps in land, finance, and opportunities, and why progress remains uneven despite decades of policy reform. It also addresses youth participation, the global challenge of youth unemployment—disproportionately affecting young women—and the International Year of the Woman Farmer.

The episode further examines the financing gap in agrifood systems, making an economic case for investing in women and youth. Such investments are crucial for driving inclusive growth, resilience, and food security. Key FAO reports are referenced throughout the discussion.

Key reports discussed in this episode:

• The Status of Women in Agrifood Systems (2023)
• The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems (2025)
• The Unjust Climate (2024)
• Financing Food for a Better Future (2025)

This video highlights Simonda Kakola, a young Namibian farmer in the Kwandu Communal Conservancy, part of the vast Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Like many rural families, he faces human–wildlife conflict, with elephants raiding crops and lions threatening livestock.

The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, an international initiative co-funded by the EU, FFGE, and FDA, partners with WWF Namibia and farmers like Simonda. Implemented by FAO, CIRAD, CIFOR-ICRAF, and WCS, it aims to reduce conflict, enhance food security, and strengthen communal conservancies.

FAO scientists Marco and Enrico have developed a WEFE Nexus system, currently tested at Jordan's King Talal Dam. This system reduces water loss from evaporation, a critical issue for Jordan, which loses 25 million cubic meters annually from its dams.

Upon successful implementation in Jordan and the Arab region, the system promises billions in cost savings and enhanced water security. It also boosts energy efficiency and production by 20%, providing affordable energy for farmers and extending solar panel lifespan. It supports healthier food cultivation, agricultural expansion, and ecological systems, embodying the principle: "Every Drop Counts."

FAO scientists Marco and Enrico have developed a WEFE Nexus system, tested with the Jordan Valley Authority at King Talal Dam. This innovation significantly reduces water loss from evaporation, addressing Jordan's annual loss of 25 million cubic meters and enhancing water security in a water-scarce region.

The system promises billions in cost savings, boosts energy efficiency by 20%, and supports healthier food cultivation and agricultural expansion. It also extends solar panel lifespan, embodying the principle: "Every Drop Counts." Visit [fao.org](http://www.fao.org).
