October 15th is globally dedicated as International Day of Rural Women when truly every day is a day that should highlight the strengths and contributions of women.

Women are the strength, wisdom, and are the heart of our families, communities, and nation.

As World Water Day last week reminded us the importance of water for all. We hear first hand from families like Maikolo's where the children and female members are the first to feel the relief when a household is water secure.

Creating truly transformational food systems in our world means ensuring inclusivity for all individuals in our communities. Every person deserves a seat at the table and access to nutritious food.

[MORDI Tonga @MORDI_Tonga]

Leading up to #IWD we have held a 4 day cooking and nutrition workshop for our community groups and stakeholders. We were fortunate to have Richard Beyer a Food Scientist guide the process, while the participants forged ahead.

A solution to the growing crises at hand from the impacts of climate change and disasters is the inclusion of women as farmers to provide their households with more nutritious diets and possible pathways for income by selling surplus to local markets.

@IFAD @ron_hartman19 We agree whole heartedly with @ron_hartman19, world leaders need to step and up pivot from responding incrementally to disasters and make commitments for transformational change that will be lasting. IFAD has been long time supporter of Tonga's most vulnerable. 🙏🙌

[International Fund for Agricultural Development @IFAD]

At IFAD, we support millions of rural people in almost 100 countries as they build a brighter future for themselves and the world.

But we can't do it alone – we need 🌏 leaders to #InvestInRuralPeople.

Hear the message from @ron_hartman19, IFAD's Director of Global Engagement.
