This year, @D4Ag_ marks 5 years of convening, connecting and learning across the #digitalisation for #agriculture ecosystem, with a strong focus on #LMICs and small-scale producers.

Five years on, it is time to ask the hard questions: What is working? What is not? What have we learned? And what must happen next to build a stronger, more inclusive and more effective #D4Ag ecosystem?

Join us as we reflect on the journey so far!

I extend my congratulations to @trahmanbnp and his party following their victory in the parliamentary elections in Bangladesh.

I commend all citizens and institutions who contributed to a peaceful electoral process and referendum and reaffirm @CommonwealthSec’s commitment to supporting Bangladesh and its democracy.

Grateful to Fiji for the warm welcome ahead of the Commonwealth Law Ministers Meeting.

With the rule of law under pressure globally, our meeting brings #Commonwealth together to strengthen the legal protections people rely on daily to live, work & prosper – our shared priority.

It was a pleasure to meet the Chair of @THE_RASC, Sir Nicholas Bacon and Honorary Secretary, Christopher Riddle.

Thank you to everyone who contributed insights, resources, and energy to the “From Silos to Systems” series!

Hosted by the @commonwealthsec and @D4Ag_, partnering with @AGRA_Africa, @farmerline, and DIASCA/GIZ, the series built a strong case on the practical pathways and business case for private sector investment in #NAgDI, while surfacing opportunities now and on the horizon.

Final stretch of the “From silos to systems” series!

We’re talking coopetition not competition, for #DPI in #agriculture through #NAgDI. We will unpack collaborative pathways we can act on together from commodity collabs, climate data→parametric insurance, shared EUDR approaches, AI-ready datasets, stronger KYC, better trade decisions.

Clear data standards = trusted, interoperable ag data.

#NAgDI urges secure, decentralised, standardised, interoperable systems aligned to #DPI, so platforms can “talk” and innovation can scale.
