Is ‘locally led’ adaptation (LLA) the same as ‘local’ adaptation? Does LLA underpin colonial and capitalist structures that drive the very inequality and poverty? #climatechange #adaptation https://t.co/imx6cxCcU3

Excellent week in Rwanda, engaging with youth owned MSEs & farmer groups in various districts. They are enthusiastic and prepared to receive support from CARE Rwanda and CARE Canada's new SERVE project, focused on generating youth employment in Ag Value chains @careinrwanda

⚠️As #COP27 approaches with #foodsystems high on the #climateaction agenda, our NEW BRIEFING warns a growing number of green buzzwords are being used to obstruct food system transformation. Terms like nature-based solutions, climate-smart agriculture

The high level finding is that 1 in 2 children and 2 in 3 women worldwide have at least one micronutrient deficiency. Many children and women have multiple deficiencies. These are wreaking havoc on immune systems, hindering growth and development, and limiting human potential.
