About 95% of our food comes from soils. But 33% of our soils are degraded, & nutrient imbalance is one of the leading causes. Improving soil nutrient balance is an effective way to help ensure safe, nutritious food for all. #Soils4Nutrition

Burn her, Burn her 🔥 Floating #cassava roots due to low #starch content in Cambodia 🇰🇭. Monty Python logic. If it floats it’s a witch! 🧙‍♀️ #Cassava #WitchesBroom #Disease 🦠 results in lower root yields and starch. No ducks 🦆 ⚖️ required for diagnostics. CassavaDiseaseSolutionsAsia

Great to see the results of regional trials of the Gen1 #CMD resistant varieties imported from Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT & IITA and evaluated through the Mekong. Utilising @CGIARgenetic through the #NARS #network. Gen2 clones developed in Asia on the way!

#GRFC24 is a wake-up call. To #FightFoodCrises, we need to invest in both immediate aid and long-term solutions, restart large-scale food production in affected areas and strengthen resilience of communities. Food and Agriculture Organization will keep working with Members to achieve #SDGs. #4Betters

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing challenges for global agrifood systems and public health. Innovative pathways, sustainable practices, addressing the root causes and concrete action through a #OneHealth approach are needed now. #4Betters #SDGs
