FAW in DRC near Lubumbashi. All Maize fields around are infected.

@yurdi_yasmi Here we face huge competition with Zambia. We are not competitive on tomato or onion etc. Then we looked at innovative way to generate income… Bushmeat with Grass Cutter! Smoked with FAO FTT given. It works! No competitor yet! Price very high on market.

Abandoned houses in my village reflect the migration to cities due to unpromising farming returns. To revitalize rural life, we must transform farming into an entrepreneurial venture that offers sufficient income to compete with urban opportunities. Let's invest in agriculture!

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Finance, technology & partnerships are key to scaling up agrifood systems solutions to the climate crisis.

@FAO's @KavehZahedi2030 explains why agrifood systems must be at the heart of global efforts to tackle #ClimateChange & address biodiversity loss.

#DRCongo: @FAO sounds alarm over persisting high levels of hunger.

New @theipcinfo data shows that over 25 million people, about a quarter of the population, continues to face Crisis or Emergency levels of food insecurity.

Let's break free from the cycle of repeating the same approaches & initiatives without tangible outcomes. If we are serious about achieving better results in agrifood systems, we must shift from words to action, ensuring that our future efforts drive real, measurable change.

[Abebe Haile-Gabriel @AbebeHGabriel]

The right to food is about ensuring that everyone has access to a diverse, healthy, and nutritious diet. The theme recognizes that for food systems to be truly equitable, we must go beyond quantity to address quality and diversity.

[Abebe Haile-Gabriel @AbebeHGabriel]

The future of Africa’s agrifood systems depend on our collective commitment and concrete actions.

Today we had a press briefing on the World Food Day (WFD) at @FAOAfrica

[FAO in Africa @FAOAfrica]

Did you know, 14% of all food is lost between harvest & retail sale?

❌Food loss wastes precious resources and perpetuate hunger & malnutrition.

@FAOAfricaADG @AbebeHGabriel gave this message in his keynote remarks at the 4th All African Post-Harvest Congress & Exhibition 👇🏿

The UN in #Ghana works hand in hand to address issues faced by #farmers

Building #resilience to crises e.g. #COVID19, economic downturn, and climate change is important for farmers and #farming communities

Millets have a lot of potential for agrifood systems transformation. Let's increase productivity, and add value through processing to benefit producers, especially a lot of women, as well as consumers.

Thank you @Fulanichef for collaborating with @FAOAfrica on #YearofMillets.
