Closing the gender gap in agrifood systems can help reduce food insecurity, strengthen rural livelihoods and boost global GDP.

Smart Farming

We need to go beyond pilot to scale. Technology must serve people.

[FAO Plants @FAOPlants]

🌾 @FAO's Regional Goodwill Ambassador for Africa @Fulanichef brought the story of Christabel, a young Ghanian farmer to the Global Conference on #SmartFarming.

She spoke about the importance of infrastructure for farmers through the example of fonio production in her country.

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

"Smart farming, done well, does not just improve a harvest. It restores dignity."

@Fulanichef's experience working with women fonio producers in Ghana alongside @FAO shows that #SmartFarming is truly smart only when it puts farmers at the centre.

#IYWF2026 #AgInnovation

[FAO Land, Soil and Water @FAOLandWater]

Carlo Lambro, VP of @CEMAagri, echoes @fulanichef's sentiment at the #SmartFarming Conference that technology alone is not enough for #AgInnovation: "investing in education, training and knowledge-sharing is just as important as investing in the technologies themselves."

[FAO Land, Soil and Water @FAOLandWater]

.@fulanichef, @FAO's Regional Goodwill Ambassador for Africa, emphasizes at the #SmartFarming Conference that "technology alone is not enough." To be effective, it must arrive alongside policy & extension services that protect women's land rights, & listen to+centre women farmers

[FAO Land, Soil and Water @FAOLandWater]

.@FAO Regional Goodwill Ambassador for Africa @Fulanichef tells a story of fonio farming in Ghana at the Smart Farming Conference open ceremony, reminding us that #SmartFarming means people can spend less time on intensive labor & more time with their families, restoring dignity

At the 4th Africa Regional Food Systems Transformation Meeting, Africa's youth were in focus.

FAO Regional Goodwill Ambassador for Africa Chef Binta highlighted the need to shape food systems with youth that are creative, profitable & rooted in culture and innovation.

[FAO in Ghana @FAOGhana]

🌍 At the 4th Africa Food Systems Transformation Meeting, @FAO highlighted Africa’s youth dividend and co-leadership in food systems transformation, elevating youth voices and the ARC34 Youth Statement to UNFSS convenors. 🌱✊

[EcoEconomist_DE @greenbiz_de]

@FAO @Fulanichef FAO's focus is spot on. I agree women farmers sustain global food systems, yet rigid regulatory frameworks deny them precision agriculture tech. Economic frameworks must prioritize access.

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Women farmers grow food, feed families and sustain communities every single day.

@FAO Goodwill Ambassador @Fulanichef shares her message in support of women farmers everywhere.

3 years into conflict, Sudan faces the world’s largest food crisis.

Half the population is acutely hungry. Crop production is down 22%, livestock support is minimal and global attention is fading.

Sudan cannot wait. It needs real action now.
