🎤 🇩🇪 Food security is security. At the @munsecconf.bsky.social, CGIAR will bring science into the global dialogue on climate, resilience and peace - because sustainable food systems are foundational to a safer world. #MSC2026

Infrastructure matters but it’s only part of the story. The bigger shift came from challenging assumptions. 🚜 👩 Inclusion isn’t about deciding for women. It’s about asking, listening, and giving people the opportunity to choose https://on.cgiar.org/4b4HWQB @cimmyt.bsky.social

Wetlands may often be overlooked, but they are essential to life. Wetlands store water during droughts, absorb floods, filter pollution and support livelihoods. This #WorldWetlandsDay, let us honour the traditional knowledge and cultural heritage that have protected wetlands for generations.

Last week I attended the #WorldEconomicForum in #Davos where I engaged with public & private sector leaders on food systems and resilience. I joined a COP16 Presidency UNCCD panel, highlighting how data & research inform policy around drought, agricultural resilience, and food systems. @cgiar.org

Looking forward to @munsecconf.bsky.social #MSC2026 🎤 🇩🇪 a vital space for dialogue on today’s most pressing global security challenges. Food security, climate resilience and peace are deeply connected, and science must be part of the conversation 💬 @cgiar.org#MSC2026
