We need to move away from current agricultural models to reduce vulnerabilities and increase resilience as challenges mount. How does #agroforestry fit into this transition? https://t.co/H6V8wM2aQF #foodsystems #COVID19 @ICRAF @CIFOR @IUCN @iki_bmu

#Agroforestry brings countless benefits for smallholders, the land they farm, and local biodiversity. But the practice can also make a global impact! Read all about how the kind of agroforestry our farmers engage in helps to combat global #climatechange: https://t.co/uKgv38pncR

It is with deep sadness that I learnt of the passing of Mzee Benjamin Mkapa,former President of #Tanzania. A statesman particularly remembered as an indefatigable peacemaker in the East African region. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family,the people and govt of Tanzania.

#Poverty in many rural areas around the world is

1⃣ multidimensional
2⃣ intergenerational

See how farmers in Kigoma are using #sustainable #agriculture to tackle poverty from both these angles in our upcoming Livelihood Report. And get a sneak peek here: https://t.co/WwIHqHwJ7i

[International Fund for Agricultural Development @IFAD]

Have you ever heard about #agroecology?

It is an approach to agriculture centred on diversity, recycling and effective use of resources.
