📢 At #CFS53, we joined global partners at @FAO HQ to spotlight science & collaboration for a food-secure future.
🎥 Watch @fadeclerck, @stapletonjm & @ElisabettaGotor share how healthier, fairer, sustainable diets are possible—and essential. 🌍✨

[Ismahane Elouafi @CGIAR_EMD]

🌱🌍 Making food systems resilient means taking a systems approach - and that means recognizing and working with all the people who make up our food systems. Together, we can create solutions that endure. From earlier this year at @WEF.

Proud to have supported South Africa’s G20 presidency on behalf of @BiovIntCIAT_Eng and @CGIAR. Our policy brief presented at the Ag Ministers’ Meeting, highlights clear income, environmental and nutrition returns of investment in sustainable livestock in the global south.

[Johan Swinnen @Jo_Swinnen]

At the @g20org Agriculture Ministers Meeting last week, I discussed a strategic opportunity for #Africa: harnessing livestock for climate resilience and food security. With @CGIAR science, Africa can take a lead in integrating livestock and climate policies.

[James Stapleton @stapletonjm]

Honoured to have had the opportunity to support South Africa’s G20 presidency and help connect CGIAR scientists with #G20 decision makers.

Just wrapped up co-chairing our 6th @FoodSystemsACF meeting on the margins of the Open Planet Network in Brasilia. 5 countries (and growing), one shared mission: deliver food systems transformation that works—for people, planet & prosperity. We’re gearing up for #COP30 with a strong voice. In Belém, food must be at the centre. #FeedSalone

Grateful to my Brazilian co-chair of the Alliance of Champions for the visit to a small family farm producing organic, nutritious food, largely to respond to the government’s school feeding policies. A catalytic model—mobilising farmers, boosting productivity and improving livelihoods. Key lesson - intentional and targeted policies make the difference for farmers. A great example for enabling family farming and empowering smallholder farmers.
Through #FeedSalone, we are also implementing similar policies to help farmers and value chain actors in #SierraLeone

[Neema Lugangira @neemalugangira]

To strengthen the science-policy interface for agri food systems, @CGIAR has launched the #CGIAR Policy Champions Network of leading policy practitioners from 26+ countries.

Very proud that #Tanzania is represented by two members; myself and Dr. Nyamizi Bundala from Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries 🇹🇿

Pleased to join the Launch of the #CGIARPolicyChampion in #Nairobi 🇰🇪

Thank you @CGIAR, @CGIAR_EMD
