Over 1M people facing acute food insecurity in #Lebanon is deeply alarming. Behind these figures are families exhausting their means to cope.

Urgent food aid must accompany efforts to restore livelihoods, support farmers & help communities recover. Sustained support is critical.

It is an honor to see my article, “Food Diplomacy: Connecting Food Security, Food Sovereignty and the Right to Food,” inaugurate #Food_Diplomacy_Perspectives », a new editorial series launched by @IMPAKTER in collaboration with the FoodDiplomacy Network. I am particularly pleased to contribute to the opening of a platform dedicated to fostering #dialogue and advancing new perspectives on the future of our food systems.

In this article, I reflect on the need to move beyond #fragmented approaches to food systems and recognize the inseparable links between food security, food sovereignty, and the right to food.

At a time when conflicts, wars, inequalities, and power imbalances are increasingly shaping who has access to food, who controls its production, and whose rights are protected, #food_diplomacy must become a means of advancing #justice, #dignity, and more #equitable and #resilient food systems.

My sincere thanks to @IMPAKTER and the FoodDiplomacy Network for providing a platform for this important dialogue.
