TechnoServe's Katarina Kahlmann is reporting from Stockholm about #WWWeek. Read about her initial thoughts and observations.
💧Stockholm buzzes with innovation!💧World Water Week just kicked off, and the insights are already flowing. It's clear: No water, no food. But there's incredible potential in regenerative agriculture to reduce water stress and propel us toward a sustainable future. The momentum behind this transformation is greater than ever—now, it's time to turn bold ideas into impactful, scalable action. Here are the insights from #WWWeek so far: 💡 On the farm, every week is Water Week! And not just water—it's also climate week, money week, and more. We must stop looking at water in isolation. The key is holistic practices that capture the full picture: water, carbon, biodiversity—and income. Imagine combining water benefit accounting with carbon metrics and financial and social impact measurements. The tools #ScienceBasedTatgetNetwork is developing could be game-changers. 💡 Attention, procurement teams! The world's top water experts are here, but to create traceable, regenerative supply chains, we need the buyers and farmers at the heart of the action. SIWI, let's make sure next year’s WWWeek has procurement teams and producers front and center! 💡 Collaboration is key—and leading food companies know it. The big question on everyone's mind: How do we partner beyond our individual supply chains? To amplify the impact of their investments, businesses need to collaborate with suppliers, buyers, peers—and yes, even competitors. It's a challenge that requires trust and deep understanding, but the potential rewards are massive. 💡 And remember: It all starts with the business case for the farmer. Solutions must be both environmentally and economically sustainable. Aligning economic incentives with environmental goals is the winning formula. Let's harness this momentum and make a lasting impact! 🚀 #TechnoServe

Deficiencies in essential micronutrients remain widespread in West Africa. At a recent meeting of the Regional Fortification Alliance in Abuja, we launched the five-year Regional Food Fortification Activity, which will scale access to fortified foods across West Africa by boosting private sector participation and leadership in large-scale food fortification. #foodsecurity #solutionstopoverty
