Climate Change and Mental Health Nexus held in the Ethiopian pavilion yesterday. When people are faced with calamitous events like floods, droughts, and fires, they are not only affected physically but also mentally. Seeking help and support is not weakness #COP28UAE

[Dyborn Chibonga @decee2012]

The Declaration will only achieve its objectives if farmers are at the decision making table. We implore govts to focus on working with us to co-design policy that empowers and supports farmers to unlock farmer-driven climate and food security solutions #COP28UAE

COP28 in Dubai has more than 90,000 registered delegates. Happy to connect with old colleagues from AGRA.
The Farmer's constituency welcomes the ‘COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems and Climate Action’ #COP28UAE #ClimateAction #FoodSystems

[Dyborn Chibonga @decee2012]

The Farmer's constituency strongly agrees that a systems-based approach is essential not only to reduce agricultural emissions but also to deliver a step change in global food security and the well-being of farmers and rural communities.

We couldn't have achieved without the sacrifices of our great Tickbird Staff, Sinda, and Mmpumulo Massa with their teams who are on the front line. Along the way, we lost our brother Zizi and the wonderful technologist Farshid. Thank you, Darren, for your guidance

In Nkhotakota on April 20, we met the amazing vetiver farmers, Sadk Zahaya (Chongole club), Imed Alli, and Shingi Kapoto (Manyamba club). They have taken farming as business, growing large tracts of the crop, not just on bunds and farm borders.

@MiaSeppo @ilo @GilbertFHoungbo Congratulations Mia, from the Warm Heart of Africa

[FAO in Africa @FAOAfrica]

The persistent agrarian crisis facing Africa and the recent food price hikes must provoke greater urgency among governments to identify public policies that can accelerate the agricultural transformation toward achieving food security and nutrition.
