2025 ANNUAL MEETINGS Mission AgriConnect: Farms, Firms, and Finance for Jobs Tuesday, October 14, 2025 10:00-11:15 AM ET (local time) © 2025 World Bank Group.

https://live.worldbank.org/en/event/2025/annual-meetings-agriconnect-farms-firms-finance-for-jobs Family farms—which include half a billion small farmers—produce about 80% of the world’s food. But without modern tools and access to markets, many are trapped in poverty. AgriConnect is the World Bank Group’s new initiative to turn small-scale farming into an engine of lasting growth, jobs, and food security. Join us on October 14 and take part in a live chat with voices from across the globe. Get concrete answers on how finance and technology can boost farming and create good jobs. © 2025 World Bank Group.
