At #GEFAssembly, we are putting smallholder farmers at the center of global action.
At CIMMYT, we support farmers to boost productivity and build resilience in the face of climate pressure.
Partnerships and shared responsibility will drive sustainable food systems for people.

@KabasuugaCissy @ZambiaMinistry Great strides indeed, especially coming after the worst drought in years.

More is needed to raise productivity close to yield potential.

Doubling the current 🌽 yield will be sufficient to meet the #CATSP targets.

#Sustainableintensification provides a viable pathway!

I have tabled an EDM to congratulate Arsenal for winning the Premier League after 22 years.

Big thank you to all the staff behind the scenes: cleaners, coaches, caterers and all the faces we don’t know or see. The Premier League belongs to you all!

From the buses of Lagos to the bars of Brooklyn and beyond, the Premier League holds astonishing sway. This was not inevitable https://t.co/jcc6yJS9tT

At the @IFPRI Sudan Conflict Conference ongoing in Cairo, Egypt, we shared how a market-led approach is helping rebuild Sudan’s food systems—even in conflict.
✔️ 48,500 MT fertilizer delivered
✔️ Private finance unlocked
✔️ Farmers reached across multiple channels

Very interesting conversations at this very well organized conference by @IFPRI . Glad to have had the opportunity to share perspectives from the Sustain Sudan Project on market-led agricultural recovery in Sudan.

▶️ Spatiotemporal targeting is key given the significant environment (e) and management (m) interactions, highlighting the need to promote the most suitable innovations in given geographies and for specific farmers. One-size-fits-all approaches won’t work.
