Global shocks are testing the stability of food systems worldwide, but it's small-scale producers who feel the impact most directly. Read our first X Article to explore how IFAD is supporting communities at the #FirstMile to withstand fertilizer price spikes and supply disruptions through local solutions, rapid response tools and long-term investment in rural economies. From locally blended fertilizers to financing mechanisms, the focus is clear: strengthen resilience before the next shock arrives.

Global shocks are not contained. They are transmitted through food, fuel and fertilizer systems, and absorbed at the #FirstMile. As policymakers gather in Washington for the #WBGMeetings, IFAD’s new paper, Global Shock, Local Crisis: Sustaining Rural Livelihoods through Adaptive Practices, shows how the Middle East conflict is disrupting smallholder producers worldwide and exposing structural vulnerabilities in global food systems. Smallholder farmers produce up to one-third of the world’s food, yet they are the most exposed to rising input costs, constrained production and market disruptions. Drawing on IFAD’s direct experience, the paper sets out practical solutions to build long-term resilience where shocks hit first.

Yes, collaboration is not an option in development but rather an infrastructure. Policy, capital, data and delivery must align for the measurable impact to reach the first mile. Important conversation from @WBG_IDA. #DevelopmentPodcast @koopafrica #FirstMile

Collaboration is at the heart of development. Tackling complex challenges requires expertise, trust & teamwork. Hear Ajay, Roya Rahmani, Dr. Daniel Wims, & @bySLPrice explain how partnerships turn big ideas into real-world impact. https://t.co/EwMDO0KHkA #DevelopmentPodcast

I'm not only happy but encouraged to see @IFADPresident centering young entrepreneurs and #FirstMile financing at the heart of rural transformation. Access to finance and markets only translates to impact when delivery systems work at community level. Wishing you a productive #IFADGoverningCouncil.

Today we officially open the 49th #IFADGoverning Council. We placed young entrepreneurs at the heart of rural transformation, moving from vision to impact. Across rural economies, young women and men are already driving innovation, jobs and growth. Our task is to ensure they have access to finance, markets and the enabling conditions needed to scale. Throughout the day, leaders from governments, international financial institutions and the private sector will explore new frontiers for #IFIs, financing the #FirstMile, and investing in water security as a foundation for resilient #FoodSystems. I look forward to an ambitious @IFAD Governing Council with our 180 members states focused on investment, impact, partnership, and empowering young entrepreneurs.

To invest in youth and women across agrifood systems succeeds or fails at the first mile where policy, finance and markets meet farmers. Encouraging to see this focus as #IFAD14 begins. @IFADPresident @koopafrica #FirstMile #YouthInAg #WomenFarmers

As we look ahead to the 49th #IFADGoverningCouncil, our focus is clear - From Farm to Market: Investing with Young Entrepreneurs. Today, there are 1.3 billion young people worldwide, the largest generation in history, and nearly half live in rural areas. Investing in their entrepreneurial potential, unlocks jobs, innovation and growth, turning rural areas into engines of stability, prosperity and sustainable development. This Governing Council also takes place at the outset of the #YearOfTheWomanFarmer, a moment to recognize the indispensable role women play across agrifood systems, from production to markets, and their contributions to food security, nutrition and prosperity. Women already make up more than half of IFAD’s project participants, and over 60% of our active portfolio is youth-sensitive, reaching more than 12 million young people globally. The Governing Council will also mark the launch of the #IFAD14 Consultation, providing an important investment platform for Governors to share perspectives on strategic priorities at a time of global uncertainty. I look forward to these discussions and to shaping the next chapter of IFAD’s role in investing in the #FirstMile. Learn more about IFAD’s 49th Governing Council: https://t.co/2hbw4ALFhg
