Breastfeeding gives infants the healthiest start in life. This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, we're sharing IFPRI research from Ethiopia that finds an association between inadequate breastfeeding practices and wasting among infants under 6 months, highlighting the need for stronger breastfeeding support and nutrition services.

At #AgroecologyDay, discussions moved from Swedish #agroforestry and resilience in Ukraine to Alnarp’s diverse #agroecology farm, where trees, perennial crops, and intercropping revealed what #FoodSystems transformation can look like in practice.

Drought and the war in Ukraine drove up food and LPG prices in Kenya, forcing families in Nairobi’s Mukuru settlement to cut gas use, skip meals and shift diets toward cheaper staples like ugali and vegetables, according to new research using smart meter data.

The quinoa boom boosted farmers' incomes but also made quinoa unaffordable for many poorer households who relied on it as a staple. With 1/3 of global population priced out of healthy diets, reducing their cost requires both supply- and demand-side action, sequenced correctly.

As #ElNiño raises the risk of droughts, floods, and crop losses, resilient #agrifood systems have never been more important. Investing in healthy soils, biofertilizers, water management, and local innovation today will strengthen #FoodSecurity tomorrow.

Small-scale fishers feed millions, but their voices remain underrepresented. More inclusive and collaborative governance can help create fairer and more resilient #fisheries.

75% of what consumers pay for food is added after it leaves the farm. So why do governments continue to focus only on what happens on the farm? Shifting focus from production to value chains will reduce losses, strengthen markets, and lower the cost of healthy diets. #SOFI2026
