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...

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...

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. 🌱✨
