🍲 The world produces enough food to feed everyone, and yet millions suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Food loss and waste exacerbate this problem. Collectively, we waste a lot of food at home. 💡Test your knowledge:

Plant genetic resources are the foundation of sustainable agrifood systems. A new FAO report offers the most comprehensive global assessment since 2012, highlighting progress, gaps & priorities for future conservation & use. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eSR9nur5 #GeneticResources #CGRFA

By adopting a sustainable, circular bioeconomy approach, farmers in India are turning crop residues into alternative biofuels rather than burning them. 📹How FAO is helping farmers to diversify incomes, reduce emissions & contribute to a #ZeroWaste world ⬇️ #CircularEconomy

The FAO's Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture launches its 'Second Report on the State of World's Forest Genetic Resources' Read it here ➡️ https://t.co/TXn3bYu0Vw #CGRFA #GeneticResources

FAO and World Food Programme today announced that new data from the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis reveals the highest number ever recorded of acutely food insecure populations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).   Over the past six months, a worsening food crisis has been gripping the people of DRC, where conflict, economic instability and surging food prices have put millions at risk. Internally displaced people escaping violence remain among the most vulnerable, bearing the brunt of the worsening food crisis.   https://lnkd.in/d4jqR8K5  

Manual paperwork can delay plant trade, harm perishables and raise emissions. A new FAO-EBRD report shows how ePhytos – electronic phytosanitary certificates – can boost speed, safety and sustainability in trade. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dktGtGn2

Genetic diversity is key to creating more resilient agrifood systems that withstand challenges such as shifting climate patterns. Since 80% of the food we consume is plant-based, preserving a wide range of genetic materials allows farmers to grow crops and varieties suited to their local environments, enhancing food security and livelihoods. As the world faces widespread hunger, malnutrition and poverty, exacerbated by biodiversity loss, climate change, land degradation, and conflicts, there is an urgent need to halt the loss of the genetic resources that support agrifood systems. Two reports published this week under the auspices of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, under the FAO, emphasize the need for urgent action.
