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.

Thank you, MP Ambolodto for visiting @FAO.org - Philippines. Your commitment to advancing food autonomy in the #BARMM & strengthening agricultural value chains as pathways to peace-driven development is truly commendable. We stand with you as we continue moving forward together.

Thank you Department of Agriculture - Philippines and BFAR SAAD Cagayan Valley for sharing these powerful testimonies and photos from our joint #AnticipatoryAction efforts to protect the assets and livelihoods of fish farmers affected by 🌀 Super-Typhoon #UwanPH.

We are deeply grateful to the Department of Agriculture for their strong support to the Farmers’ Cooperatives under #SAAD programme. Without them, we could not have delivered anticipatory actions. Together, we helping those most vulnerable to climate impacts while building strong protocols.

Super Typhoon #UwanPH: #AnticipatoryAction continues as DA - SAAD Cagayan Valley now supports farmers’ cooperatives and associations in relocating cattle to safer areas & reinforcing pens for pigs, goats, sheep & poultry. Mushroom houses and greenhouses are also being secured against strong winds.
