🌱 Healthy soils, water & ecosystems are essential to food production, yet agriculture also contributes to biodiversity loss.

At #COP17, we explored how stronger policy coherence & coordinated investment can help countries protect biodiversity while supporting #FoodSystems.

🛢️ 99% of synthetic nitrogen #fertilizers are derived from fossil fuels.

When energy prices spike, farmers and food prices feel the impact.

🌱 Climate philanthropy can help break this dependence and build more resilient food systems.

Opinion: New-generation tools for smarter agriculture will not deliver if farmers cannot afford them.

NEW STORY ⎮

Preventing #AMR must be built into how #FoodSystems work, from policy to production. The goal isn’t just reduce #AntibioticUse, also its need. That is how #OneHealth can move from a shared ambition to more resilient #FoodSystems & lasting progress against AMR.
