The Living Lab has been key for creating spaces for dialogue & visibility. But sustainable transformation requires institutional commitment & policy change.
These exchanges contribute to European debates on making agricultural & rural policies more inclusive & gender responsiv⤵️

📢 IFAD has just released its 2025 Annual Report!

From increasing small-scale producers' incomes and productivity to creating jobs and strengthening resilience, the report highlights the results that #FinancingTheFirstMile of food systems is delivering around the world.

• 92 million people reached through ongoing projects
• 389,800 jobs created by IFAD's investments
• Avoided or sequestered 133.7M tons of greenhouse gas emissions

According to recent impact assessments, IFAD investments led to:
• +34% increase in incomes
• +35% increase in production
• +35% increase in market access

Partnerships and innovative financing are scaling the impact of IFAD investments, with more than US$1.5 billion pledged for IFAD13 and US$6 generated on the ground in rural communities for every US$1 of donor funding.

[Malabo Montpellier Panel @MaMoPanel]

In Africa’s agrifood systems, value chain development, especially agro-processing, is central to job creation as population growth, urbanization & rising incomes drive an expanding & more diversified food demand.

Beyond primary agriculture, employment is increasingly concentrated in processing, logistics, storage & distribution, which play a critical role in linking farmers to markets & supporting food system transformation.

Explore @MaMoPanel’s – Job Harvests – report for more insights on policy innovations for inclusive agrifood employment in Africa!👇

Agricultural data is becoming a valuable resource, but who benefits?
If #AI is built on extractive data models, it risks deepening inequality & dependence. If built with #farmers, communities, & local priorities, it can strengthen resilient #FoodSystems.
