What if there had been no wars? Our agrifood systems would be facing El Niño with more reliable inputs and trade, and greater financial capacity. Successive shocks have not only raised prices but eroded agrifood systems' capacity to absorb future ones. https://t.co/wFLT8BrSOx

The Blue Pacific should be defined by its capacity, not its vulnerability. With rich fisheries and agricultural resources, Pacific Island nations can turn their natural assets into better diets, jobs, and resilience through smart policy and investment.

Africa’s growing workforce and cities offer tremendous opportunities for agrifood transformation. Realizing this potential requires higher agricultural productivity, innovation, and stronger institutions that turn evidence into policies and investment.

How can farmers of all sizes use AI to be productive? I propose sticking to a simple principle of AI governance: the higher the potential for harm, the greater the need for caution.

:The world doesn’t lack capital. It lacks effective ways to channel it into agrifood systems where investment can have the greatest impact.
@FAO's Hand-in-Hand Initiative is shifting how development and finance work together to transform agrifood systems.

Global grain supplies have buffered the impact of Black Sea trade disruptions. But with the war in Ukraine, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and El Niño compounding risks, the elastic band of agrifood system resilience is being stretched thin.

FAO Food Price Index rose 1.5% in September and 5.8% year on year. Cereal prices jumped 5.1% in one month. Global cereal supplies are sufficient for now, but shocks from Hormuz, the Black Sea, Red Sea and El Niño are starting to create compound risks. https://t.co/ohBjoSchem
