The latest @theIPCinfo 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.

🆕 #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

Thanks @SeedFed 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.

Thanks Melissa for asking what keeps me #AwakeatNight . Growing up on a farm & now serving at @FAO , I see farmers increasingly becoming the most vulnerable. Conflict & the climate crisis make it harder to grow food, tend animals & provide for families. 📻

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 @FAO 's work thru water infrastructures & training for canoe builders
