🌾 "Family farming feeds the world, but receives only a fraction of the value it generates." As highlighted at the recent G20 Agriculture Ministerial Meeting, Alvaro Lario, President of IFAD, underscored the critical role of G20 support in empowering rural economies and smallholder farmers. Family farms produce 80% of the world’s food, yet climate change, urbanization, and income inequality threaten their stability. G20 leaders have a unique opportunity to boost global food security by investing in sustainable agriculture and supporting rural communities—actions that would ensure resilience to climate and economic shocks. Investments targeted at smallholders and family farms are not just essential for food security, but they are also crucial for broader global stability. By funneling more financial resources to rural communities, particularly those adapting to climate change, the G20 can directly address the structural challenges of food systems. Supporting rural producers with fair compensation and market access, as IFAD proposes, is a necessary step toward building a more inclusive and resilient global food system. 🌱💡 #FamilyFarming #SustainableAgriculture #ClimateAdaptation #G20 #FoodSecurity #RuralDevelopment #ImpactInvesting #NatureBasedSolutions #GlobalCooperation #SmallholderFarmers
“G20 support is crucial for targeted investments and effective public policies that foster prosperous rural economies and strengthen family farming and food systems,” stated IFAD President Alvaro Lario at the recent #G20 Agriculture Ministerial Meeting, in #Brazil. 📈 By supporting global initiatives like the UN Decade of Family Farming and the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, G20 leaders can make a measurable difference in addressing global food security challenges. ➡ Read more here: https://bit.ly/4gFBlfV
