Plant health is the quiet backbone of food security. I like seeing early warning and digital tools treated as core infrastructure. Preventing pest losses early saves seasons, not just yields 🌱

In Rwanda, #FarmerFieldSchools are helping farmers shift from subsistence agriculture to market-oriented production.
Thanks to a @FAO project, farmers learned about integrated pest management & other farming skills to improve production & preserve biodiversity.

Did you know that 36% of agrifood workers worldwide are women?
Yet, #RuralWomen earn nearly 20% less than men and have reduced access to land, credit, technology, and information.
This has to change.
