Biosaline Agriculture

🇨🇻 faces significant challenges in ensuring 🥘 security due to its arid & semi-arid climate, limited arable land & the impacts of climate change.

Salt- and drought-tolerant crops that thrive in the country's adverse conditions need to be promoted.

In 1994, one million children, women & men were killed in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

We will never forget the victims.

Nor will we ever forget the bravery & resilience of those who survived, whose courage & willingness to forgive remain a burst of light & hope.

Today I saw long lines of blocked relief trucks waiting to be let into Gaza.

It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid.

The choice is clear: surge or starvation.

Let’s choose the side of help, the side of hope & the right side of history.

I will not give up.

Proud to spend time with United Nations Cabo Verde-Nações Unidas Cabo Verde Resident Coordinator Patricia Portela de Souza, and my @UN family colleagues in #CapeVerde .

I thanked them for their strong collaboration to support 🇨🇻's development and the health and wellbeing of its citizens.

A new FAO report reveals that female-headed households in rural areas of low and middle-income countries face greater financial losses than men.

They lose 8% more income due to heat stress and 3% more due to floods. This amounts to $37 billion and $16 billion respectively…

For these trail-blazing agriprenuers, doing successful agribusiness does not dwell in some abstraction. It is real and concrete. And they don't beat about the bush when it comes to the issues at hand. They address them straight forward in clear, plain language.

Well-done Robert Gouantoueu Guei & all colleagues FAO West Africa for a successful subregional multidisciplinary team meeting.

Building resilience, strengthening capacities, promoting investment and concerted actions to support agrifood systems transformation will continue to be our focus.

We're excited to announce that FAO and chef Fatmata Binta are collaborating on a new project to support women fonio producers in Ghana.

We can no longer fail to understand...quick wins during crisis response aren't enough. It's time to prioritize more effective, long-term solutions.

When 80% of people who face highest levels of hunger are farmers, AGRICULTURAL AID is the missing piece!
