On this International #WomenInScience Day, YPARD Canada recognizes every effort women and girls are making for our planet and people to be better. We need more voices for women and girls globally. No more stereotypes against women and girls.
YPARD Canada provides a platform for all young professionals in Agriculture across Canada to network and be part of a global mission.

Every year, 430 million tonnes of plastic are produced, with two-thirds quickly turning into waste. Without urgent action, this could triple by 2060, harming ecosystems and human health.
It’s time to #BeatPlasticPollution: https://t.co/9LKTfkI7Pj
Higher temperatures are making it harder to produce food.
And for vulnerable rural communities, failed harvest seasons can mean meagre earnings and empty plates.
If we don't support them and #ActOnClimate today, we let hunger win.
My message to young people worldwide:
Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable.
Do not accept that you cannot transform things.
To change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for #OurCommonFuture.

Agriculture has the potential to protect biodiversity, but right now it's a leading driver of its decline.
To nourish the planet and achieve #ZeroHunger, this must change. Agrobiodiversity is the key to getting there 🌱 🥭🙌
We won't be able to achieve #ZeroHunger without small-scale farmers.
They already grow 1/3 of the world's food.
Think of what they could achieve with the right investments 🌾
Water is key to supporting global #FoodSystems.
But our planet is running short of it.
It's time to invest in sustainable approaches that protect our resources & deliver nutritious food for all 💧🌽🌎
@UNEP It's shocking that up to 80% of 200 million tonnes of reactive nitrogen is lost each year to the environment, impacting biodiversity. Important to strike a balance to prevent negative consequences. #BeatNitrogenPollution is key to safeguarding our future.
@FAO Great to see how nature supports us! Ensuring sustainable practices is vital to protect life in all its diverse forms.

🚀YPARD Canada just attended the launch of the Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge's first accountability report by @ShambaCentre, once again stressing public-private partnership. This is a pivotal step towards achieving SDG 2 by 2030. 🌍 Here's a snapshot of our participation.
As a new era of environmental rule of law takes shape, UNEP’s new report provides recommendations for governments to navigate this evolving landscape.

@UNEP Great to see this. The findings are interesting, especially the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kudos to the recognition of women as champions of environmental rule of law! 👏Let's work together for a sustainable future!

@WFP_Canada @WFP Thank you for your commitment to the urgent issues of climate crisis & hunger. Your efforts in shaping the face of the supply chain for sustainability will be a huge turning point for our future for sure.
@antonioguterres Absolutely! Addressing the climate crisis means uprooting fossil fuels and building a just transition to renewables. Every small step counts.
