"We have to work together, we can't just talk about working together." “The biggest need that we need to address is: how do we get technologies to farmers through institutional innovation?” @Agnes_Kalibata, @AGRA_Africa #GFSS23

Fascinating graphic! Nations meeting human needs Vs environmental damage
Seeking Twitter hive mind! Names matter - so to get beyond erroneous 'developed / developing' countries, we're proposing new country clusters, in terms of their journey towards living in the Doughnut. For starters: Rise-Shift-Fulfil-Reduce. What else do you suggest?...

A new piece of research looking at changing incomes amongst farmers in East Africa. Agriculture can help some escape poverty, but doesn't help the poorest. Something else is needed to escape the extreme poverty trap. But what? https://t.co/OSRri7wcyS

Anything we can learn here, CGIAR colleagues? IMHO We like to apply systems thinking in our models and analysis, but not in our project management
How can #SystemsThinking be applied to #InternationalDevelopment? 💭 In this report, Jacky Hicks ( @IDS_UK) looks at examples of various applications of the approach by @USAID, @wateraid, @FCDOGovUK & others. Take a look:👉 https://t.co/2yXcyj06ga

We interviewed nine thousand farmers in Africa and Asia about how COVID-19 affected their lives. Massive income loss, reduced food consumption. No government support schemes. 😬😬😬 https://t.co/skOqUAjBao

The news anchor demonstrates the need for direct action on climate change admirably
Mike's interview with Insulate Britain spokesman Cameron lasts less than a minute. @Iromg | @InsulateLove

Nice paper showing that crop and livestock integration opens up possibilities for lower environmental impact. #rhomis data fed into the #farmdesign model. Tidy.
Crop-livestock integration provides opportunities to mitigate environmental trade-offs in transitioning smallholder agricultural systems of the Greater Mekong Subregion - open access https://t.co/r0qaAiNido

Powerful infographic! Where does all the food go?
We produce more than enough food to feed the world But where does it go? 40%! of food eaten in Sub S Africa is starchy veg (elsewhere its ~10%) 1% is fish, meat & poultry It is vital micronutrient rich food, grown, harvested or fished locally remain local. #UNFSS2021 @newint

The first in a series of studies on impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on smallholder farmers all over the world. In NW Vietnam great success reducing infections, but severe impacts on food security. #COVID19 #Vietnam #Hunger
