🌱 Mangroves can absorb up to four times more #carbon dioxide by area than upland terrestrial forests but are being lost at an alarming rate.

This #WorldMangroveDay, discover how we can reduce the drivers of mangrove loss.

Tools, including data analysis, are crucial to supporting agricultural productivity. The GAP Initiative, as well as its partners and many other organizations, research these methods to improve efficiency and productivity in the agriculture industry.

[FAO in North America @FAONorthAmerica]

In humanitarian crises, data-driven programming is key to sustain farmers’ livelihoods & build their resilience.

Thanks to funding from @USAID, @FAO’s #DatainEmergencies helps decision-making for projects that will save lives & livelihoods.

What is soil fertility & how is it important?

Healthy soils sustain life. 🌿🌦️

But soil degradation leads to, among other things, the loss of #soil fertility constituting a risk to #FoodSecurity #Soils4Nutrition

[FAO Land, Soil and Water @FAOLandWater]

Let's stop #SoilPollution from destroying our precious #Soils.

Adopt #SustainableSoilManagement practices and recognize the importance of our 🌍 #SoilHealth #SoilBiodiversity

[CGIAR GENDER @CGIARgender]

The aspirations of farmers influence the agricultural inputs and investments they select which, in turn, affect their productivity. Recent review showed that raising women's aspirations can contribute to their empowerment

Increasing agricultural productivity rates across countries supports all of these sustainable development goals.

[FAO Knowledge @FAOKnowledge]

Let's transform our agrifood systems for:

🔹Better production
🔸Better nutrition
🔹Better environment
🔸Better life, leaving no one behind.

A sustainable & food secure world for all is possible if we work together👉 https://t.co/ffUznjEJjP

Supporting investments in agriculture means supporting people! It also allows us to focus on more efficient production methods- thus increasing agricultural productivity and food security.

[International Fund for Agricultural Development @IFAD]

Why invest in agriculture? Because nearly ⅔ of people living in poverty work in agriculture.

The road to a future with #ZeroHunger begins in the rural world 🌾

[FAO Land, Soil and Water @FAOLandWater]

Interventions to improve women’s work in agriculture have been successful in reducing food insecurity, particularly when they have improved women's capacities & access to tech & resources, & strengthened their #LandTenure security.

Let's continue to advance #GenderEquality

[INACTIVE - Follow @Ag_Productivity for updates @Ag_Pro_Inactive]

Making new tools and technologies available to farmers is crucial to increasing agricultural productivity and securing production efficiency.

[CGIAR GENDER @CGIARgender]

Manual weeding is time consuming and back-breaking due to bending for hours. A new weeding technology introduced by @IITA_CGIAR is easing the lives of women smallholder farmers who produce majority of the crop in sub-Saharan Africa.

Agriculture is Virginia’s largest private industry. - providing over 380,000 jobs and $82.3 billion annually.

Thank you to those who work in agriculture and help feed, clothe, conduct research, and supply resources we need every day.

June is National Dairy Month! Dairy products are loved by many Americans for their delicious taste and high nutritional value. This month, let's show our appreciation for the farmers who work hard to bring milk, cheese, and other dairy products to our tables.

[Cansler Consulting @CanslerConsult]

To sum it up: #Agriculture #food & related industries = $1.3 trillion to #USGDP (5.4%). ~50% U.S. producers had negative farm income. 40% U.S. producers rely on off-farm income. @USDA_ERS reports slower @Ag_Productivity. @USDA 2024 budget request $24.5 bil, +11.5%. #TurningPoint
