A $278 billion finance gap stands between rangeland restoration and the two billion people who depend on rangelands for their livelihoods. A new investment hub, launched at @Cop17Mongolia and led by @ILRI, aims to close it: bit.ly/4ryn3U6

For many young Africans, migration is a calculated investment in opportunity, not an escape from hardship. @AKADEMIYA2063's Ousmane Badiane on why agrifood systems, not border policy, hold the answer to Africa's 2 million jobs-a-month employment gap: bit.ly/4jl1l3H

As school canteens rise as one of the most dynamic tools in African climate adaptation, @ATwahirwa speaks to experts from @AfDB_Group, @BiovIntCIAT_eng, @SDG2AdvocacyHub and @CGIAR about what this shift could mean for smallholder farmers and food security: bit.ly/4d1pAQE

How can policy better recognise African women's contributions to agriculture? Nine parliamentarians writing as @TheAFSPaN have an answer and a list of legal reforms to back it up:bit.ly/4xHuQjY 📸: @ICRISAT

Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria's national genebanks used to run on handwritten notebooks. Now barcodes and shared digital systems mean seed data can be traced and accessed in seconds. @CropTrust breaks down what it took to get three national genebanks this far: bit.ly/40ATNPC

Africa’s fisheries and aquaculture sector is vital to food security, livelihoods, and economic growth, yet it remains underutilized and increasingly under pressure. In this piece, @AKADEMIYA2063’s @DrOBadiane highlights how smart investments, stronger regulations, innovation, and cross-border cooperation can help build a more sustainable and resilient sector. Drawing on policy innovations from #Mozambique, #Ghana, #Morocco, and #Malawi, the article shows how practical interventions can turn today’s challenges into opportunities for Africa’s blue economy.

What will Africa's climate agenda actually cover at #COP31 this November? Experts from @BiovIntCIAT_eng and @FANRPAN point to rising land conflict in South Africa's Northern Cape as a sign it needs to widen well beyond infrastructure and agriculture: bit.ly/4uGC9qr

In Nepal, @PracticalAction's insurance scheme is helping farmers access financial support and bounce back with dignity. As El Niño raises flood risk across South Asia, this case study is an example of farmer-sensitive relief in response to climate change: bit.ly/44Jd4Ab

Trade in services in farming underpins a lot of what farmers rely on: digital tools, insurance, market access. The @worldfarmersorg will be at the @WTO Public Forum (15–17 Sept, Geneva), making the case for farmers: bit.ly/45Qx98U #WTOPublicForum

🥔 Potatoes support 800,000+ smallholder farmers across East and Southern Africa. @IITA's multi-country initiative is helping stop insects from wiping out entire crops. See how collaboration and capacity building can provide a pathway to pest resistance: bit.ly/4maChLn

How can digitally driven extension systems support crucial climate targets? @IFPRI and @FAO experts explain why extension workers are essential to disaster planning and innovation: bit.ly/42IUZ3V

What makes an agricultural innovation actually stick with smallholder farmers? Dr Gloria Adazebra's insect-resistant cowpea sold out within a week of its Nigerian launch. Hear why on the latest Let's Talk Agriculture podcast: bit.ly/4xSYaV3

One of the surest ways to cut Africa's food import dependence: stronger local seed markets. Find out from @AECFAfrica @VictoriaSabula how Seeds for Impact is strengthening seed markets for smallholders across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and beyond: bit.ly/3TF6gyK

A new report from @ILRI makes the investment case for the world's rangelands. It offers insights on targeted restoration and land tenure that could improve livelihoods and climate mitigation efforts globally: Learn more on Farming First: bit.ly/3V1h261 @UNCCD

A farmer plants what they believe is certified seed and has a worse than expected harvet. Learn from the @SeedFed how Brazil and Argentina have harmonised seed certification to protect against low-quality seeds, safeguarding farmers' yields: bit.ly/4gKtuMG

What does a farmer-centred approach to AI actually look like? @worldfarmersorg asks who is deciding what agricultural AI should look like in the first place, and why farmers belong in that room: bit.ly/44QnQWR

🪲Rotating crop protection products correctly can be the difference between staying ahead of pest resistance and losing a harvest. @CropLifeAME explain how West African cotton farmers are staying ahead: bit.ly/4ulywWJ

📣 The @TheAGRF turns 20 next week! From 31 August, 5,000+ delegates from 50+ countries will gather in Kigali to turn two decades of food security commitments into action. Learn more: bit.ly/4qwk26j #AFSForum2026 #AfricaFoodSystems #Kigali2026 #InvestInFoodSystems

Biopesticides do not need to replace a farmer's toolkit to be valuable. See how @CropLifeAME’s workshops helped Jordan's farmers diversify their approach to pest management: bit.ly/4gWhmun 📸: @ilo

🥁 and the answer is… only 18 months! @FarmAfrica helped 462 households form a cooperative to manage and restore the land. Aquatic life returned within 18 months, after 20 years without it! Learn more: bit.ly/4xEjFJc
