Despite that energy, 1/3 of food is lost or wasted.
From fertilizers 🚜 to fridges ❄️, food systems have become energy-intensive and wasteful—driving ~1/3 of global GHG emissions.

🌍 This #EarthDay, we're shining a light on something we rarely talk about: The energy cost of our food. From farm to fork, food systems use nearly 30% of global energy—and burn 15% of fossil fuels annually.

As FOLU's newly appointed Country Director, Daphné Carliez says, “Energy is in every bite we eat.” 🔌🍽️

Women in Colombia are leading regeneration—from mangrove conservation to seed banks & healing orchards. Their work proves that there’s no single “space for women”—every space should be open to them.

Women drive food choices at home—and they’re key to climate solutions.

China’s ambitious #NetZero goals demand bold action. While clean energy is crucial, new FOLU research shows that shifting to healthy, sustainable diets could cut agricultural emissions nearly in half by 2050.

As we celebrate #WomenInFoodSystems & the Nutrition 4 Growth Summit, our China Director highlights how empowering women—as consumers, farmers, and policymakers—can accelerate this shift for a healthier planet.

Governments, organizations, and experts are gathering in Paris for the Nutrition for Growth Summit #N4G, reinforcing global commitments to end #malnutrition. With 2 billion people affected by hunger, overweight, or obesity, access to healthy, affordable diets is crucial.

That’s why FOLU, @EATforum, and @GAINalliance launched the DISH Competition in Kenya & Indonesia—to drive innovative, local solutions for better nutrition. One standout winner, Iviani Farm, led by Faith Mumo, helps schools integrate nutrient-rich dried fruits & vegetables, reducing waste and supporting 5,000+ farmers.

In Sub-Saharan #Africa, women are the backbone of food production, yet they face systemic barriers to land, finance, and resources. 🌍💰

A recent UN report estimates that failing to invest in women costs the global economy a staggering $10 trillion annually. The same study shows that improving support for female farmers could add $1tn to global GDP!

As our Ethiopia Country Director Sofia Ahmed emphasizes in this video, 'addressing these inequalities is crucial for transforming food systems'.

Forests sustain biodiversity, livelihoods, and food security—but deforestation is putting them at risk. 🌍🌱 Expanding agriculture drives nearly 90% of tropical deforestation. We must protect forests & transform food systems for a thriving planet.

For generations, women have been the backbone of millet farming in #India—preserving traditions, ensuring #foodsecurity & sustaining communities. Yet, their contributions remain unseen.

@FOLUIndia’s docufilm 'Invisible: Women and the Future of Millets' brings their stories to light—showcasing both resilience & ongoing struggles. Progress is happening, but much more is needed to #AccelerateAction.

Women are the backbone of our food systems, making up 43% of the global agricultural workforce 🌍 Yet, they often lack the power and opportunity to fully shape nutrition, health, and sustainability.

Gender equality isn’t a side issue—it’s fundamental. Women aren’t a minority; they’re half the world & must have a seat at every decision-making table.

This #IWD, we’re spotlighting #WomenInFoodSystems driving change. As FOLU’s Executive Director says:
"I want my daughter to see exactly what women can achieve—when we lift each other up with strength & purpose."
