@CitImmCanada Still down for me as well... despite it being 7:11am EDT. When will services be back online? I need to submit an application urgently before an embassy appointment tomorrow...

Congrats to the @FAO / @FAOPakistan team (Jorge Alvar Beltran and colleagues) for a successful workshop on optimizing water resources & understanding crop impacts 💧🌱

[FAOPakistan @FAOPakistan]

FAO's four-day Tando Jam workshop emphasized optimizing water resources and understanding crop impacts. Participants gained insights into AquaCrop's strengths and limitations, ready to apply this knowledge in their domains.

☑️Provide water for animals in Al Badia.
FAOR #Syria, Mike Robson, explains more about the nursery's components & importance.

@Alitalia grateful if you can clarify the "company code" for your SkyTeam partner, @KLM, as it's nowhere to be found on any website (nor was customer service able to help), and I can't proceed in my booking without it... #HelpPlease

Happy news 🙌🎉: For climate change🌡, for Canada 🇨🇦, for the World 🌎 . And a break from the usual programming...

[FAO Investment Support @FAOInvest]

#UrbanFoodSystems have impacts beyond food, extending past urban & peri-urban areas🏭🏘⛰

Today @FAOInvest @WorldBank launch a report, "Urban Food Systems Governance”, including 9️⃣ cities' approach to more effective investments for urban #foodsystems!

👉https://t.co/Dj9QKtYuXL

[Alessandra Gage @AlessandraGage]

Very happy to announce the launch of our latest @WorldBank-@FAO publication, "#Urban #FoodSystems #Governance: current context and future opportunities", exploring how nine cities are tackling emerging food issues. @FAOInvest

Full report here: https://t.co/7tI7MKaLoG

[Alessandra Gage @AlessandraGage]

@fgrosso63 @Qikiqtani_Inuit Definitely refers to appreciation for reporting of the story, from my perspective!

[Alessandra Gage @AlessandraGage]

"40% of the area's Milne Ice Shelf collapsed within two days" - if these stats don't prompt protection, I'm not sure what will. Just one of the many reasons why we need to support the @Qikiqtani_Inuit in protecting our Last Ice Area. #Canadian #Arctic

Times are changing: @FAODG hosted a first-ever “Town Hall” yesterday for @FAO colleagues to discuss work arrangements and next steps during this pandemic.

[FAO Director-General QU Dongyu @FAODG]

We had a historic first @FAO “town hall” meeting today to map our next steps. I engaged with over 2000 colleagues joining virtually and was happy to see everyone safe & well. I urged all to remain vigilant while we slowly return to our offices.

@zedfo not sure if you'll see this, but this fellow artsci alumna would be keen to connect re: urban food governance if you have a moment 😉 Hit me up if you can! xx

Now that my fever and dry cough/chest heaviness are gone, I had some time to write a song for the @arkellsmusic fundraising challenge in support of @foodbankscanada (with donations from rbc). Hope your Cabin Fever… https://t.co/fIYoI6a10O

[Alessandra Gage @AlessandraGage]

@MelissaHansonMD @Royal_College Sad news indeed; in Italy we’ve been calling everyone (all doctors, residents, those who are doctors in retirement, etc.) to the front lines to try and combat this beast that is COVID-19. Really sorry to hear you and many other skilled colleagues will be held back by bureaucracy
