As #ElNiño intensifies drought in some regions, farmers in water-scarce areas are under even greater pressure.
Around the world, traditional knowledge, science & #AgInnovation are helping farmers adapt & keep producing food when every drop counts.

Great to see the support of Canadians for international assistance. Thanks @unicef.org
BREAKING: new polling shows that the majority of Canadians want to see Canada step up for the world's children. But we can't do that if we keep cutting our aid budget. Tell your MP that Canada must STOP THE CUTS in Budget 2026.

When food is lost or wasted, the resources used to produce it go to waste too.

Replacing trees with concrete isn't economic advance; it’s ecological bankruptcy. Deforestation is not development—it is self-sabotage on a planetary scale. We cannot build a sustainable future on wiped-out ecosystems. 🌲❌
