Agricultural data is becoming a valuable resource, but who benefits?
If #AI is built on extractive data models, it risks deepening inequality & dependence. If built with #farmers, communities, & local priorities, it can strengthen resilient #FoodSystems.

Tropical fruits are key for #FoodSecurity, but many growers lack access to safe & effective crop protection tools.This gap can drive off-label pesticide use & increase risks for food safety. Integrated Pest Management offers a sustainable path forward: https://t.co/r2chIISdh4

🚨 A strong #ElNiño could raise wildfire risk across South America, Southeast Asia and eastern Australia.

But the biggest impacts may come later, as reduced rainfall leaves forests drier & more vulnerable in the following fire season. Read more ⬇️
