Let's transform our agrifood systems for:
🔹Better production
🔸Better nutrition
🔹Better environment
🔸Better life, leaving no one behind.
A sustainable and food secure world for all is possible if we work together.

2024 provides new opportunities to #ActNow to protect people & the planet.
The #GlobalGoals are our blueprint to work towards a better and more sustainable future for all.

Why do we need to protect our #soils & soil nutrition?
Simply put: nutrient-deficient soils produce nutrient-deficient plants.... which ultimately lead to people suffering from nutrient deficiencies.
From the air we breathe to the water we drink to the soil that grows our food – humanity’s health depends on nature & biodiversity.
The beginning of the new year is an opportunity to reflect on this vital bond and the importance of making peace with nature.
#Soil and water are interconnected!
Both play a vital role in achieving sustainable and resilient agrifood systems, and it's up to each and every one of us to protect and sustainably manage both.
4⃣ ways we can help 👇
#SoilAction#WaterAction
By adopting a sustainable, circular bioeconomy approach, farmers in India are turning crop residues into alternative biofuels rather than burning them.
🎥How @FAO is helping farmers to diversify their incomes, reduce emissions, & contribute to a #ZeroWaste world👇
Alarmingly, the Global Stocktake demonstrates that progress on #Adaptation is stagnating.
We must address two main issues: policy and finance.
👉 A new framework for the global goal on adaptation
👉 Adaptation finance needs to be scaled up significantly
#COP28
Healthy soils are a lifeline for functioning & diverse ecosystems.
Yet, 1/3 of global soils are degraded due to intensive farming & unsustainable land management practices.
Tuesday’s #WorldSoilDay is a reminder to step up #GenerationRestoration efforts to protect land & soils.
On this celebration of #WorldSoilDay , it is critical not to overstate the never ending significance of soil conservation and the role it plays in tackling climate change.
#SoilHealth#SoilConservation#sustainable
Healthy soils act as a carbon sink, by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, thus contributing to both climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.
It's #WorldSoilDay and @FAO is at #COP28 flying the flag for agrifood system solutions!

Knowing how to manage water sustainably and ensure effective soil moisture is vital for plants' growth.
Here are 4 actions to perserve soil moisture👇
#WorldSoilDay
Our food is a reflection of the soil and water used to grow it.
This means that healthy soil = healthy, safe & nutritious food.
It also means that if soil is not healthy, its ability to store and filter water is reduced.
