April is Buwan ng Kalutong Pilipino, a celebration of Philippine food, heritage, diversity and local producers.
Congratulations to the 🇵🇭 Embassy in Italy for bringing it to Rome 🇮🇹 & showcasing the richness of Philippine cuisine to the @faodg.fao.org and @fao.org colleagues.
Today’s energy crisis is not a standalone shock. It is colliding with climate stress and exposing once again the structural weaknesses of agrifood systems that previous crises had already revealed.

In addition to impacting directly farmers and fishers just recovering from last year’s typhoons, higher energy costs also will also raise the cost of climate adaptation options for upcoming shocks.

The current energy crisis is a serious concern for food security & livelihoods.
The @fao.org - Philippines is preparing guidance on its impacts & coping measures.
In the meantime, do not miss this @adb.org webinar on Monday at 11:00 a.m. Philippine time, featuring FAO DDG
Ms Beth Bechdol
Thank you, Dr Babagana Ahmadu and FAO South Africa for this thoughtful gift to @fao.org - Philippines, and congratulations on this excellent initiative. As in South Africa 🇿🇦, indigenous foods are a vital part of the Philippines’ heritage 🇵🇭 and an important foundation for a more sustainable future.
🇵🇭 The Philippines pioneered tropical aquaculture but many farmers still do not capture its full value.
This strong move by DA really matters.
@fao.org is supporting by shifting production toward what markets truly reward, not just what is easy to grow.

I just tried the legendary miracle fruit in Hainan 🇨🇳! ✨
This tiny red berry turns sour into sweet! Lemons taste like candy, vinegar like syrup! 🍋➡️🍬
Grown right here in Hainan Tropical Botanical Garden. Mind officially blown! 😱

Very proud to see our Deputy-Director-General among the “10 Women Who Are Feeding the Future and Regenerating the Planet.” But this is just true.
Starting today, a new career as @FAO.org - Philippines Chief Mushroom Farmer. 🍄🟫
Thank you Department of Agriculture for the kit and, more seriously, for championing mushrooms a smart, high-value opportunity for Filipino farmers and rural livelihoods.
Listening to women farmers from conflict areas, one word came to mind: strength. What they have overcome is extraordinary. What they continue to face, including prejudice and lack of recognition, is unacceptable. Their voices must be heard and their work valued. #IYWF 👩🌾
A meaningful visit today at @fao.org - Philippines: the remarkable women farmers of Lake Sebu shared their work on agrobiodiversity conservation, cultural heritage & sustainable agrotourism.
On #InternationalWomensDay2026 & during the #IYWF, their leadership truly shines. 🌱✨
Clean and healthy rivers are essential for transforming Asia’s agrifood systems. Congratulations Asian Development Bank @adb.org Senior Director Qingfeng Zhang for this insightful and eye-opening blog post.

In close partnership with 🇵🇭 Government, we aim to uplift women farmers #IYWF, expand the #BlueEconomy, promote 🇵🇭 agri-products & advance agricultural modernization by joining hands whenever possible! 🤝
Our work is built on knowledge. That means communication matters for those we serve & for the partners who place their trust in us. I value tools that go beyond logos & reflect heritage & tradition. Congrats @fao.org Indonesia & dear Rajendra Aryal for this One Health batik. Proud to wear it today!
🇵🇭🇦🇪🇬🇧🇪🇬 I just discovered this morning that the famous Dubai chocolate was co-created in 2021 by Filipino chef Nouel Catis Omamalin and British-Egyptian engineer Sarah Hamouda — truly a beautiful, halo-halo story of cultures coming together. Diba? 🍫

Congratulations #LakeSebu for being recognized as a FAO Village ! Your hard work to protect your traditions, your foods, your heritage and your environment is worth being highlighted to the world ! Welcome to the @fao.org Food and Agriculture Museum and Network! m.youtube.com/watch?v=va9_...
“Food does not only feed the body, it feeds the soul,” once said @faodg.fao.org. He’s right. Food carries memory, identity & pride. We must cherish & protect our heritage. I can’t wait to hear which villages will make history in this 1st round of recognition 🌾
