“It’s not about exporting from places that are food insecure but building up food systems in those places...means investing in small and medium enterprises, not just big global companies.” ft.com/content/61f4a5… via Financial Times

Yes digital/tech/hardware innovations are important. But the role of indigenous solutions have in addressing global water crises is often understated. Done and managed well can be cost-effective, community centric, sustained impact 💧♻️

"Small-scale and farmer-led irrigation systems are often more efficient than large-scale projects, the report found." Another report emphasising the need to directly invest in farmers and communities. Couldn't agree more! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Global soils underpin life but future looks ‘bleak’, warns UN report theguardian.com/environment/20… It takes thousands of years for soils to form, meaning protection is needed urgently, say scientists Food and Agriculture Organization Elizabeth M. Mrema

Couldn’t agree more Important to recognise water be cannot valued in the same way as other resources (e.g carbon). A commodity for WS is first and foremost a source of livelihood for eg a farmer. Link to wider discussion on redefining VALUE and greater investment into communities

Looking forward to sharing our experiences and challenges in developing theories and methodologies on building resilient human and ecological systems on a micro/local level with smallholders. And how digital innovation can help us over come obstacles to implementation 💧🌾♻️

1.7% of climate finance for small-scale producers who produce 50% of the world’s calories. A lot more research needed on what is required, role of Gov, SME/MSMEs who may better understand local realities, how finance relates to resilient farmers and agency. What will it enable?

For food (eg) there are studies that show "going local" can benefit smallholders and eco-systems. Important to take this knowledge to understand and define how local resilience approaches connect with macro efforts. Could lead to more targeted investments theguardian.com/environment/20…

🙌 Efforts to build sustainable food chains must be founded smallholder resilience (factors in resilience of human and eco systems at local level). Resilient smallholders and communities are a prerequisite to sustainable food chains

Looking forward to sharing our approach to water as part of #WorldWaterDay. Will be sharing our work with ICRISAT DEVELOPMENT CENTRE ICRISAT Solidaridad Asia and how engaging with communities, NGO and science has shaped our approach to value 💧

Shortly as part of #WorldWaterDay with gj I’ll be sharing how this project is shaping the core of our operations. And despite a challenging year how the team ICRISAT ICRISAT DEVELOPMENT CENTRE Solidaridad Asia have already had an impact on behaviour and perceptions of water 💧

Exciting to see Mariana Mazzucato kick off gj LD meeting! (Someone who has greatly influenced my work.) Looking forward to discussing our approach to nature positive agri tomorrow ICRISAT ICRISAT DEVELOPMENT CENTRE Solidaridad Asia Natems Sustainability and how value is driven by farmers and nature

Really enjoyed taking part in this thought provoking event discussing the urgent need for nature positive agriculture. And great to see such an emphasis on the role of farmers! Lots to takeaway. Thanks again gj #LDMeeting21

“Globally, 84% of farms are less than 2 ha in size. Many policymakers and scientists argue that smallholdings outperform large industrial operations — which provide the bulk of the world’s food — on a range of environmental and socioeconomic measures.” nature.com/articles/d4158…

Really enjoyed supporting this work. Engaging with farmers to find out their thoughts on a rapidly developing and really exciting topic. Will be one core factor in the transition to a more resilient and sustainable food system 🌾
