Smallholder farmers are among those most vulnerable to disasters, some of which are predictable.

Combining #AnticipatoryAction & #SocialProtection can help us mitigate disaster impacts.

So instead of reacting to disasters, we can protect communities ahead of time.

Agroforestry can help restore 1B+ hectares of degraded agricultural land, increase soil fertility & agricultural productivity, & improve livelihoods. We need concerted efforts to scale-up agroforestry, share know-how & develop appropriate policies & practices. #CL174 #SOFO2022

“That is why targeted finance for #farmers is key to unlocking the unique potential of agrifood systems to tackle the #ClimateCrisis ”

Btw 2000-2021, climate development financial support for agrifood systems amounted to USD 183 billion. In 2021 contributions reached USD 19 billion, marking a 12% decline compared to 2020.

Food and Agriculture Organization will continue to support countries, bringing innovative agrifood solutions to the #climatecrisis ,

That's inspiring! And your increased responsibilities! lizeth

As #COP28 concluded, somehow I kept thinking about my father. Perhaps this explains why.
