❌ There are no natural disasters.

💡Disasters are not a 'natural' part of life.

Natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis may be impossible to stop, but the loss of life and economic damage they inflict are usually the result of human decisions.

Strengthening rural economies requires investments that extend beyond food production – including market access, climate resilience, value addition and rural enterprises that can generate long-term economic opportunities.

Across #Mexico, small-scale producers continue to face structural barriers, from fragmented landholdings and limited access to finance to growing climate risks. Through investments in forest-based value chains, ecosystem conservation, sustainable agricultural production and rural enterprises, IFAD and the Government of Mexico are supporting communities in building more resilient local economies.

From Indigenous communities processing pine resin into higher-value products, to women-led enterprises producing cosmetics from forest resources, these investments are helping rural producers capture greater value from their work while promoting sustainable natural resource management.

Since 1980, IFAD has supported 12 investment projects in Mexico worth approximately US$500 million alongside the Government and co-financing partners, targeting rural areas with high levels of poverty.

[Dr. Richard Munang @RichardMunang]

What if artificial intelligence #AI could help countries see crimes before the damage becomes irreversible?

This is no longer a distant idea.

It is becoming one of the most practical tools for protecting natural resources, livelihoods, and national revenue.

In work on crimes that affect the environment, one lesson is clear.

These crimes grow where systems cannot see fast enough.

Illegal miners move minerals through hidden supply chains.
Fishing vessels switch off tracking systems.
Timber is harvested unlawfully and enters markets with false documents.
Toxic waste crosses borders disguised as normal trade.

The damage is not only environmental.

It is economic.
It is social.
It is about lost jobs, lost revenue, weakened food systems, and fewer opportunities for young people.

This is where AI can help.

Satellite images can detect unusual forest loss or mining activity.
Vessel tracking can expose suspicious fishing patterns.
Digital traceability can follow minerals from extraction to export.
Data systems can connect customs, enforcement, and environmental information faster than manual systems alone.

For someone in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, or any resource-rich country, this is practical.

It means knowing whether minerals are building national prosperity or leaving through illicit networks.
It means protecting fishing communities before livelihoods collapse.
It means stopping forest loss before climate impacts become harder to manage.

But AI alone will not solve this.

People still matter.
Institutions matter.
Accountability matters.
Political will matters.

AI is not the road.
It is the lamp that helps us see the road more clearly.

My grandmother used to say,
“A lamp is useful only when it helps people avoid the hole ahead.”

That is how technology should serve society.

If there is anything I have said that you should remember, let it be this:

Crimes that affect the environment thrive in darkness.

#AI must help us bring light, traceability, and deterrence where they are needed most.

Why is pollination vital for our existence?

🌺90% of the world’s wild flowering plants
🌽75% of the world’s top food crops

It all depends, or at least in part, on animal pollination.
