00:07 The world is in a crisis.

00:09 We have more hungry people today than we have ever had before,

00:14 and it's perplexing because

00:15 we are producing more food than we've ever produced before in the world.

00:20 How do we fix this problem?

00:22 We need to produce our food

00:24 differently.

00:25 We need to change the way we are doing things because

00:28 our food production system is a leading cause of environmental degradation,

00:32 a leading cause of climate change,

00:34 a leading cause of unhealthy diets,

00:36 and it doesn't produce very good jobs.

00:39 The beauty of the food system is we can bend the arc,

00:41 the trajectory that we're on,

00:43 where we're Destroying the planet as we feed ourselves

00:46 and bend it to one where we're saving the planet as we feed ourselves.

00:49 We've seen a great surge in the World Bank's lending,

00:52 $22 billion of new lending in the last 15 months,

00:55 and what's really interesting about that is half of it is going on resilience.

01:00 There's longer term measures,

01:01 half of it is going on the safety nets and the shorter term measures.

01:05 So you're seeing demand from our client countries

01:08 really well balanced across both the rich and the poorer countries

01:12 as well as the short term and the longer term measures.

01:14 What's really amazing about Gaffes is what it does at the country level.

01:19 GAFFS is really key in two dimensions of this.

01:22 The first is that it will help defragment the donor effort by bringing everyone in.

01:27 To a single space concentrating their programs

01:29 and sharing their information that then allows the

01:31 government to be looking at all that information with all of the donors at one time

01:36 to understand exactly what's going on and everyone has that same understanding.

01:40 The second is

01:42 it really makes the entire

01:44 delivery mechanism much more efficient,

01:46 so it reduces the transaction costs between all.

01:49 Different players and there's 15,000 donor projects a

01:53 year in the agriculture and food space,

01:56 and the average size is only $500,000.

01:59 And if we're operating at that scale,

02:01 we're never going to solve the kind of problems that we have.

02:03 Gas can help us reduce

02:06 that multitude of little things that's going on and

02:08 get everyone on the same page and working together.

The world is in a crisis. We have more hungry people today than we have ever had before, and it's perplexing because we are producing more food than we've ever produced before in the world. How do we fix this problem? We need to produce our food differently. We need to change the way we are doing things because our food production system is a leading cause of environmental degradation, a leading cause of climate change, a leading cause of unhealthy diets, and it doesn't produce very good jobs. The beauty of the food system is we can bend the arc, the trajectory that we're on, where we're Destroying the planet as we feed ourselves and bend it to one where we're saving the planet as we feed ourselves. We've seen a great surge in the World Bank's lending, $22 billion of new lending in the last 15 months, and what's really interesting about that is half of it is going on resilience. There's longer term measures, half of it is going on the safety nets and the shorter term measures. So you're seeing demand from our client countries really well balanced across both the rich and the poorer countries as well as the short term and the longer term measures. What's really amazing about Gaffes is what it does at the country level. GAFFS is really key in two dimensions of this. The first is that it will help defragment the donor effort by bringing everyone in. To a single space concentrating their programs and sharing their information that then allows the government to be looking at all that information with all of the donors at one time to understand exactly what's going on and everyone has that same understanding.
