"FARMS. FOOD. FUTURE" is the podcast of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development is adding its voice to the podcast in a miniseries and bringing a donor perspective to the frontline of food security. IFAD, as the host of the Platform secretariat, had created a special corner of conversation for our members and partners.

Willem and Conrad's segment starts at the 57-minute mark.

Land tenure specialist Harold Liversage explains how better land tenure protections can reduce conflicts over land and water.
