Welcome back FEWS NET. The latest update on global food insecurity makes for hard reading, as usual: fews.net/global/speci.... Up to 45% shortfall in rain from long term trends in pastoral zones of Ethiopia and Sudan. Likely flooding in Kenya. But humanitarian aid cut like never before....
Excited to be presenting in this webinar alongside awesome colleagues on Monday July 14 on Concentrated Corporate Power in Global Food Systems: Consequences and Potential Policy Responses. Info below! 👇

Ever heard of the #HLPE-FSN?
It’s the science-policy bridge of the #UN Committee on World Food Security. Experts from around the world bring #evidence to the table — so decisions on #FoodSecurity and #Nutrition are smarter, fairer, and grounded in reality. #CFS #FoodSystems #Agroecology #RightToFood
🌱The Rio Conventions and their implementing instruments have very significant implications for realizing the right to food. Aligning environmental action with human rights obligations is essential for fair and lasting solutions.

@suwa-eisenmann.bsky.social @patrickwebb.bsky.social @mjamiot.bsky.social
Strengthening governance, fostering innovation, and ensuring inclusive policies, among other measures, will be essential to navigate food systems transformations and enhance resilience in the face of growing risks.
Thank you to UM6P and all participants!
🧵In an increasingly complex & uncertain world, the key to resilient food systems lies in preparedness & adaptability. From the rapid pace of urbanization to the challenges of climate change & evolving dietary patterns, food systems must be ready to anticipate & respond to change.
