Protecting mountain water is critical for food, water and livelihood security. The melting of glaciers doesn’t only change mountain landscapes. It can change when and how much water reaches farms and communities far downstream. Communities can build resilience by: 🔹 harvesting and storing water 🔹 using irrigation more efficiently 🔹 protecting forests and watersheds 🔹 using terrace farming, agroforestry and crop diversification 🔹 combining traditional knowledge with innovation What are ot

What does nuclear science have to do with the food on our plates? More than you might think. 🌱🔬 @fao and @iaeaorg use nuclear and related techniques to help develop crops that can better withstand drought, disease and other challenges—giving farmers more options to adapt and thrive. This #WorldFoodDay, discover how innovation can help nourish a better future for all. #AgInnovation

People, animals, plants and ecosystems are all part of the same connected system. That’s the idea behind #OneHealth: bringing different sectors and expertise together to protect food security, public health, animal, plant and environmental health, while supporting more resilient agrifood systems. From zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance to food safety and environmental threats, many of today’s challenges are interconnected, and so are the solutions. The Quadripartite — FAO, @UNEP, @Wo

Did you know? Around 13% of the world's food is lost after harvest, before it ever reaches the stores. 🎥 See how reducing #FoodLoss and #FoodWaste puts more food on more plates. #FLWDay

When it comes to ensuring the health of people, plants, animals & our planet, we must work together to reduce the need for antimicrobials. A #OneHealth approach is crucial to preventing, detecting & controlling diseases & #AntimicrobialResistance. #AMR
