"We have to work together, we can't just talk about working together."
“The biggest need that we need to address is: how do we get technologies to farmers through institutional innovation?”

Fascinating graphic! Nations meeting human needs Vs environmental damage

Seeking Twitter hive mind! Names matter - so to get beyond erroneous 'developed / developing' countries, we're proposing new country clusters, in terms of their journey towards living in the Doughnut. For starters: Rise-Shift-Fulfil-Reduce. What else do you suggest?...

A new piece of research looking at changing incomes amongst farmers in East Africa. Agriculture can help some escape poverty, but doesn't help the poorest. Something else is needed to escape the extreme poverty trap. But what?

Anything we can learn here, CGIAR colleagues?
IMHO We like to apply systems thinking in our models and analysis, but not in our project management
How can #SystemsThinking be applied to #InternationalDevelopment? 💭
In this report, Jacky Hicks ( @IDS_UK) looks at examples of various applications of the approach by @USAID, @wateraid, @FCDOGovUK & others.

During the lock-down I finalized something I have been working on for a long time: a critical article about the economic narrative behind the Green Revolution. Comments welcome! rdcu.be/cQA6z

We interviewed nine thousand farmers in Africa and Asia about how COVID-19 affected their lives. Massive income loss, reduced food consumption. No government support schemes.

Nice paper showing that crop and livestock integration opens up possibilities for lower environmental impact. #rhomis data fed into the #farmdesign model. Tidy.

Powerful infographic! Where does all the food go?
23 Sep 2021
We produce more than enough food to feed the world But where does it go?
40%! of food eaten in Sub S Africa is starchy veg (elsewhere its ~10%) 1% is fish, meat & poultry
It is vital micronutrient rich food, grown, harvested or fished locally remain local. #UNFSS2021 @newint
ALT where the food in the world flows. We already produce enough

The first in a series of studies on impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on smallholder farmers all over the world.
In NW Vietnam great success reducing infections, but severe impacts on food security.
