[Dr. Aditi Mukherji @aditimukherji]

It was a great pleasure to present the results of the #AgricultureBreakthrough in this session (remotely). We talked of 5 pathways of achieving just transitions, one of them being responsible consumption, including reducing unsustainably high consumption of animal-sourced food.

[Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @AlokSharma_RDG]

If are to have any hope of keeping 1.5c alive, #COP28 must deliver unequivocal language on fossil fuel phase out

Countries need to decide whether they want to be on the right, or wrong, side of history

For our, and our children’s, futures pick the planet https://t.co/1ESjSTxuMI

The partnership between the UK & @CGIAR is a fantastic step towards addressing climate impacts for small-scale farmers! As we head into #COP28, scaling up climate finance for organizations like CGIAR that are improving resilience for our most vulnerable communities is critical.

[International Potato Center @Cipotato]

Gratitude to @FCDOResearch for two decades of unwavering support in biofortification!

Together with @CGIAR & @HarvestPlus, we've introduced new climate-resilient crops, reaching millions across 19 countries in 2023. Your support fuels our commitment to sustainable agriculture.

[CGIAR @CGIAR]

🌾 One week to go! Prepare to dive into global food system solutions with @AndrewmitchMP, @IsmahaneElouafi, @SavageSusannah, and @EthioAmbUK during our upcoming webinar on Nov 28.

[Rachel Lambert @RachelJLambert]

Yesterday UK PM launched the #UKCGIAR Centre to develop links between cutting-edge UK science and @CGIAR research #GFSS23 #UKDev

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

The UK is launching a new science hub to develop climate-resilient crops and identify risks to global food systems.

Led by @CGIAR, it will link UK scientists with research initiatives to develop crops that can withstand the impacts of climate change and are more disease-resistant.

#GFSS23

[FCDO Research, Science and Technology @FCDOResearch]

📣We are proud to announce new UK support to @CropTrust, helping protect the priceless crop diversity stored in global seed banks which hold 80% of the world’s crop genetic resources in trust for future generations.

@CGIAR #GFSS23

[Rachel Lambert @RachelJLambert]

Achieving this impact from biofortification has taken a lot of hard work from @HarvestPlus & partners. And results are testament to the importance of long-term investments in #Science and #Innovation, targeted on the biggest global challenges #GFSS23 #UKDev

[HarvestPlus @HarvestPlus]

In this video, @AndrewmitchMP, the Minister of State for @FCDOgovUK shares a bit of the history and thoughts that led to #20yearsofbiofortification: https://t.co/yoAnGm06J9

🌍"We can tackle this problem. With innovation and technology, we are capable of feeding all the people on this planet" @David_Cameron Foreign Secretary, closed #GFSS23 with optimism, highlighting the importance of continued agricultural R&D in finding a solution to #FoodSecurity

[Rachel Lambert @RachelJLambert]

It's been a packed day - launch of the new UK #WhitePaper on #InternationalDevelopment + new commitments to tackle poverty,#ZeroHunger, climate change and the SDGs! Thanks to all our brilliant speakers on #Science & #Innovation! #GFSS23 #UKDev

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

With partnerships, innovation and technology, we are capable of feeding all the people on our planet.

That's what today's Global Food Security Summit was all about. It can be done.

#GFSS23 #ZeroHunger #SDG2

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

NEW: Today's UK-hosted #GlobalFoodSecuritySummit will showcase how science and innovation can boost global food security.

New UK support will advance food security by developing climate change resilient crops and boosting funding to tackle severe child malnutrition.

#GFSS23

[Dr. Aditi Mukherji @aditimukherji]

I work with people like these who are trying to #adapt to #ClimateChange at local level. However, to expect that they can solve problems they didn’t create without the rich stopping their unsustainable consumption and emissions is a lie. Every article needs to have that caveat.

[Andrew Mitchell @AndrewmitchMP]

Fascinating to see @CABI_News’ UK funded research which has so far reached over 60m farmers in 34 countries.

Monday’s UK hosted Global Food Security Summit will further discuss how science and innovation will play a vital role in tackling poverty around the world.

[Bhavani Shankar @Bhavani1Shankar]

Looking forward to participating in this important event on Monday that signals high-level commitment to grappling with food insecurity and malnutrition. @susfoodshef @sheffieldgeog
