Want to stop a food crisis? Here's the short list of actions needed c/o @JennClapp : 1) cancel debt for food import-dependent countries; 2) crack down on excessive commodity speculation; 3) enhance transparency & reduce concentration in markets; .. (1/2)

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The global food system looks like the global financial system in the approach to 2008.
Years of warnings that it was heading this way were ignored by governments.

New @UNNCD #GlobalLandOutlook published today. It find 40% of all land is degraded, primarily due to food production - Agriculture must move from being main cause of degradation to principal catalyst for land and soil restoration. More @WWF reaction here https://t.co/BnTigKe4nX

Fertilizer prices and shortages are threatening to be a major challenge for Africa following the #RussiaUkraineWar, says @AfDB_Group head. He adds that the continent needs to become food independent, to cease being reliant on the rest of the world.

A shift to diets that emphasize plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, fruits, and vegetables could result in a “substantial reduction” in greenhouse gas emissions while also reducing the toll of non-communicable diseases.

Overall, Africa’s performance on food system transformation has declined since the last Biennial Review. Given ongoing challenges, what can be done to reverse this? @AUC_CAADP @NEPAD_CAADP

[Sean Woolfrey @SeanWoolfrey]

3rd #CAADP Biennial Review is out (https://t.co/opO3MLDHma). Makes for sobering reading. Despite progress in the face of major food system shocks, Africa is not-on-track to meet the goals and targets of the Malabo Declaration by 2025 @carin_smaller @7Mukazi @paulinabizz @F_Rampa

[Sean Woolfrey @SeanWoolfrey]

Only 1 African country is on-track towards achieving the Malabo Declaration Commitments by 2025 (Rwanda). Only 4 countries are spending 10% of their budgets on agriculture (Burundi, DRC, Ethiopia, Mali), and only Kenya is on track to end hunger by 2025.

[Sean Woolfrey @SeanWoolfrey]

The @EU_Commission sees the #AfCFTA as a step towards a long term goal of a continent-to-continent trade agreement between the EU and Africa, but what is the view on this from the African side? @AfCFTA @AU_ETIM ...

[Sean Woolfrey @SeanWoolfrey]

So does implementation of the #AfCFTA pave the way for a future continent-to-continent EU-Africa trade agreement? @Trade_EU @EU_Partnerships @_AfricanUnion @UNECA @ECA_OFFICIAL @philoapiko

The #Farm2Fork Strategy aims to green the European food system. Some project that this can negatively impact other food systems. How can the EU address these external implications of the Strategy?

@SeanWoolfrey and I wrote a brief about this.
