#SUDAN: We strongly condemn the looting of @WFP food & assets happening right now in El Obeid.

Our warehouses have come under attack – and food for 4.4 million people is at stake.

It is unconscionable to steal from the hungry. This must stop.

Food systems are at the heart of COP27: a great opportunity to make progress. On behalf of the Ambassadors of the Food and Land Use Coalition, in our role as co-chairs, we call for 5 critical outcomes at COP27:

[WWF @WWF]

#BREAKING! Species population numbers have plummeted by 69% on average since 1970. 🚨
Nature is sending us an SOS: our life-line is in danger.💔
We need to turn things around – now. RT if you're with us #ForALivingPlanet! #LivingPlanet #LPR2022

Today, an extraordinary announcement from @POTUS: the USA will contribute another $2.9 billion to fight the global hunger crisis.

This will go a long way in preventing famine, destabilization and mass migration. Thank you! 🇺🇸 🇺🇳 #UNGA77

In Conservation Agriculture, cover crops like Lablab and Mucuna are critical in the control of soil erosion and weeds. They also limit soil moisture loss and improve biodiversity.

In #Rwanda, farmers like Delphine receive 💸grants & training in agriculture

@WFP trains many like Delphine to cultivate on terraces to improve food security

Investing in smart agriculture builds community resilience against climate shocks & strengthens food systems

[Michael Dunford @micdunford]

The #BraveCommander brings 23,000mt of grain from #Ukraine. This will feed over 1 mil people in #Ethiopia, a country where 20 mil people are facing hunger. This is a great first step but we need to continue to scale up to meet the enormous needs across the Horn and Eastern Africa
