A year ago FAO Director-General QU Dongyu, Cindy McCain & Alvaro Lario – the Principals of the United Nations Rome-based agencies (RBAs) – visited South Sudan. And this year, we're building on our commitment to serve the people of #SouthSudan. Thank you World Food Programme Rukia Abdullahi & International Fund for Agricultural Development Sara Mbago-Bhunu for joining me!

A memorable mission to #SouthSudan! Despite challenges, there's untapped potential for agriculture. Highlights: - meeting local communities (farmers, herders, fishermen & women, agripreneurs) - seeing impact of Food and Agriculture Organization's work thru water infrastructures & training for canoe builders

Thanks Melissa for asking what keeps me #AwakeatNight. Growing up on a farm & now serving at Food and Agriculture Organization, I see farmers increasingly becoming the most vulnerable. Conflict & the climate crisis make it harder to grow food, tend animals & provide for families. 📻bit.ly/32NK3oP

Proud to serve at Food and Agriculture Organization! We are bringing attention to the importance of agriculture to global food security. Farmers around the world face countless risks - and we need to assist them in being productive and profitable.

Thanks International Seed Federation for hosting me on your 1st episode. Seeds feed the world... and farmers must have access to quality seeds. In many countries facing crises and conflicts, seeds are essential – the most basic of support – for farmers.

🆕#SOFI2024 confirms what we feared - hunger remains high. 733 million people faced hunger in 2023... 1 in 11 people around the world. Causes are conflict, climate crisis & economic shocks. We must do better & direct financing where it's needed most. ℹ️ bit.ly/SOFI-2024-Repo…

The latest The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report confirms there is famine in the Sudan. This is the worst form of hunger… and it is due to the ongoing conflict & limited humanitarian access. This is the 3rd time famine has been confirmed by IPC in 20 yrs - Somalia in 2011 & South Sudan in 2017.
