In this episode we sit down with Agricultural Development Agency CEO Leona Archary to unpack what inclusive growth really means in practice — from access to finance, land, skills and markets to creating a stronger pathway for emerging farmers and black-owned agribusinesses to participate in the commercial agricultural economy.
