This discussion focuses on women's economic empowerment in the Pacific, featuring Amy Luinstra (International Finance Corporation), Joanne Crawford (International Women's Development Agency), and Amanda Donigi (Stella Magazine, PNG). Luinstra is involved with Papua New Guinea's Business Coalition for Women, the Pacific's first organization of its kind.

Globally, women earn less than men, are half as likely to hold full-time jobs, and their incomes are 10-30% lower. Only 24% of senior management roles worldwide are held by women. Journalist Auskar Surbakti moderates this discussion, originally published on June 30, 2014.

Forest gardens offer a sustainable agroforestry model, mimicking natural ecosystems by combining diverse edible plants like fruit trees, shrubs, and vegetables in a seemingly wild setting. UK pioneer Martin Crawford transformed a flat field into such a garden in 1994, now an educational resource. A short film by Thomas Regnault highlights Crawford's abundant and diverse forest garden as a potential answer for future food systems. Watch the film: A Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Could Lead to a Sustainable Future.
