Hon. Chief Fortune Charumbira returns as President of the #PanAfricanParliament

We are getting set for the AU- #IAPSC 17th #Steering Committee Meeting and also the AU-IAPSC Preparatory Meeting of the 18th Session of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (Pre- #CPM 18) in Douala - Cameroon. Take note of the dates and the details for these important events.

In Rwanda, #FarmerFieldSchools are helping farmers shift from subsistence agriculture to market-oriented production.

Thanks to a Food and Agriculture Organization project, farmers learned about integrated pest management & other farming skills to improve production & preserve biodiversity.

#EducationDay

Let's transform our agrifood systems for:

🔹Better production
🔸Better nutrition
🔹Better environment
🔸Better life, leaving no one behind.

A sustainable & food secure world for all is possible if we work together.

AU- #IAPSC Coordinator Dr Saliou Niassy outlines to members of the press from Ministry of Agriculture in #Zambia , measures IAPSC has put in place to fully support and work jointly with #AU member states & stakeholders, in the implementation of the #planthealthstrategy for Africa.

A Pest Risk Analysis #PRA workshop in Kigali-Rwanda provided an opportunity for some deeper reflection on threats and impacts of new & emerging pests on the African continent & how a harmonized approach could help manage it. It was organized through #CABI 's #PlantwisePlus project

Did you know that 36% of agrifood workers worldwide are women?

Yet, #RuralWomen earn nearly 20% less than men and have reduced access to land, credit, technology, and information.

This has to change.
