Eman Sayed, MWRI, #Egypt presents the opportunity of digitilization for managing water. She recommends the use of #crop maps and #wateraccounting to support efficiency and agr productivity within limits. Work done with #WEPSNENA , @Sida , @FAOinNENA_EN

[Domitille Vallee @DVallee32]

The 4th arab water forum @arableague_gs opened by the chair the minister of the Palestinian Water Authority speaking of water access in Palestine. The #WEPSNENA project @FAOinNENA_EN & 7 countries share top findings to implement 2030 agenda for water.@Sida

[Domitille Vallee @DVallee32]

Global food systems have to produce more but with less CO2 émissions. Agriculture can contribute to mitigation and innovation (ex hydroponic feed, drought adapted crops, actions along value chain..). Says @JeanMarcFaures , @FAOinNENA_EN, #4ArabWaterConference

[Jean-Marc Faurès @JeanMarcFaures]

Partners from #Algeria, #Palestine, #Egypt, #Jordan and #Lebanon share their views about the achievements of the #Sida-funded project for water efficiency, sustainability and productivity in the #nena region at the 4th Arab Water Conference. @FAOinNENA_EN

[FAO Director-General QU Dongyu @FAODG]

How we produce food, from farm to table, matters a great deal. Countries must adhere to the highest standards to protect the health of people, plants, animals & planet. I am keen to see Oman's work to establish #AMR surveillance in animal health & agriculture sectors.

[Jean-Marc Faurès @JeanMarcFaures]

I was happy to participate in the regional workshop of the @FAOinNENA_EN #gender focal points. A very dynamic group of dedicated professionals committed to advance gender transformative intervention in the #nena region.

[FAO Climate Change & Biodiversity @FAOclimate]

#COP27 is closing but @FAO is proud to have worked with @COP27P & launched Food & Agriculture for Sustainable Transitions Initiative FAST, to ensure that through countries #agriculture will be central to
#Climate solutions.
