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. www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/climat...

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. www.bworldonline.com/economy/2026...

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. newsinfo.inquirer.net/2201627/da-p...

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. blogs.adb.org/blog/clean-a...

One of the year’s key events on transforming agrifood systems for efficiency, resilience and sustainability. @fao.org looks forward to engaging actively, including with innovative contributions. All are encouraged to join this ambitious @adb.org initiative. 🖊️ www.adb.org/news/events/...

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ is set to be an exciting year for both Belgium 🇧🇪 & @fao.org - Philippines (PH)! 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? 🍫 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai_c...

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 🌾 www.youtube.com/watch?v=va9_...

ありがとうございますEmbassy of Japan in the Philippines & Hide-san for your steadfast support to @fao.org! With the generous support of Japan people, #BARMM is now pioneering #BlueTransformation for better production, better nutrition, better environment & better life. www.ph.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_en/11_0...

With better climate information, sustainable practices, and strong partnerships through the support of @greenclimate.fund, farming communities can protect their harvests and heritage despite climate challenges. businessmirror.com.ph/2026/02/11/f...

Seaweed and cheese? Tested ✅ And approved! ✅

From rice and taro to fish, ducks, pigs and chickens, the Hungduan rice terraces are a living mosaic of food, culture and nature, as diverse as they are beautiful.

The Philippines’ agricultural heritage is a source of pride, but also a source of solutions. Today in the Ifugao rice terraces, we are working with @greenclimate.fund experts to turn tradition into a resilient future.

Isabela & Cauayan’s agricultural potential is enormous, yet repeatedly hit by climate shocks. With the @greenclimate.fund support, we are transforming local agrifood systems so farmers can thrive despite adversity. Thank you to the GCF team for the visit & for guiding us on doing better.

Who said sustainability can’t be stylish? Very proud to wear my Yahab Style flour bag shirt made from upcycled materials. Fashion that looks good, supports communities, and proves the circular economy can be trendy.

Pagbati ko sa inyo, Pangulong Marcos Jr. at Unang Ginang Araneta Marcos, Manigong Bagong Taon!

Agrifood systems are all the interactions that shape food we eat, from environment & people to history & culture. Today we tasted one of their most delicious outcomes: Tausug cuisine & were delighted to share this discovery with colleagues from the Bangsamoro region.

#Seaweed #MarineLife 🌊🦑 (cf. www.ajinomoto.com/stories/spri...)

Did you know that without seaweed, you wouldn’t have modern computers or AI today? It all started in 1908 when a Japanese professor tasted his wife’s seaweed soup (kombu dashi) & discovered monosodium glutamate, the source of umami. That led to creating Ajinomoto in 1909. x.com/BourseAsieFR...

Beautiful modern #fishart in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you and Manigong Bagong Taon Department of Foreign Affairs, Philippines 🙏

The benchmark #FAOFoodPriceIndex for world food commodity prices fell in December compared to the previous month, as declines in dairy product, meat and vegetable oil quotations more than offset increases in those for cereals and sugar. 🔗 lnkd.in/efnUQQbN

We must work together for impact to follow. For our beneficiaries. For our taxpayers. Great meeting today between the Rome-based agencies @ifad.org, @wfp.org, @fao.org and the Permanent Representation of the Philippine Embassy in Italy. United, we can do more. Together we will do more.
