My fruitful visit to Mississippi State reaffirmed that we cannot overlook the role of #AgInnovation, science, research, data & tech when it comes to developing fit-for-purpose, context-specific solutions. Only by fully leveraging these tools, can we transform our agrifood systems.


It was a pleasure to meet my dear friend, Amb Terry Branstad on my visit to the US. Food and Agriculture Organization and World Food Prize Foundation are committed to achieving #FoodSecurity for all and the #4Betters. We agree that science and #AgInnovation must be leveraged fully if we hope to leave no one behind.
