AFSA Calls for Agroecology and Increased Adaptation Finance for Africa at COP29
Baku, Azerbaijan – As 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) kicks off in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) is set to bring agroecology to the forefront of climate discussions.

Thanks to @UKSustain for a lovely garden gathering - was great to connect to so many allies in the progressive food and farming movement. And to hear some groundbreaking moments of Sustain's 25-year history from the inspiring @Kath_Dalmeny. But... how many hours of kids TV?!
Congratulations to my courageous lawyer @suigenerisjen for securing the release of Julian Assange. As Nelson Mandela said, there is a long walk to freedom. You are a tireless fighter for justice and freedom everywhere.
