Restarting local food production is vital to prevent famine & extreme malnutrition in #Gaza. @reinpaulsen: @FAO has started to deliver animal fodder that will allow milk production to meet 20% of caloric needs of all children under 10 in Gaza for 50 days👉Link in Bio

"Now our water source is abundant and clean, and we can use it for our daily consumption, agriculture and our livestock." Thanks to World Bank funding, in 2023 @FAO repaired 423 km of irrigation canals in Afghanistan. #WaterAction #AgricultureCan

Exciting news! Chef Binta and @FAO are joining forces to empower women fonio producers in Ghana. The project will provide specialized training to approximately 100 women, enhancing their skills and boosting their productivity and income. The training will include hands-on sessions on fonio production, harvesting, packaging and accessing markets. Fonio, part of the millets family, is an ancient, nutrient-packed grain. It is known for its resilience and ability to thrive in less fertile soils, and it has traditionally been cultivated by women in Ghana. However, it has been undervalued despite its nutritional and environmental benefits. This project aims to change the narrative by focusing on sustainable practices, empowerment, and economic development. #4Betters #YearOfMillets #BetterProduction #BetterNutrition #BetterEnvironment #BetterLife
