Closing day at #Agri4D. True Schedvin, @sidasweden.bsky.social closed the conference by reaffirming Sida's continued commitment to #agriculture and #sustainability. #FoodInsecurity is in a critical state - this is when research becomes equally critical and Agri4D feels like a breath of fresh air.

Patrick Okori ends #Agri4D keynotes on a positive note. To build long term success in Africa, #education is key. RUFORUM is transforming higher education and people’s lives by aligning #agricultural courses with community needs and empowering #young agripreneurs. @slu-global.bsky.social

Erik Alexandersson highlights how @novo-nordisk.bsky.social is responding to global megatrends by branching out to build lasting #research capacity in the #GlobalSouth, but also strengthening it in #Europe. The future of #food depends on #innovation, dialogue, and shared responsibility.

🌱 "Food systems should move from feeding the hungry to nourishing all people and planet” says Shakuntala Thilsted of @cgiar.org in the first keynote of the day at #Agri4D. She stresses the need for #diversity - of #diet and of people in #FoodSystems. @slu-global.bsky.social @sidasweden.bsky.social

⚠️“We’ve transgressed 6 of 9 planetary boundaries — and #FoodSystems likely contribute to 5.” In her #Agri4D keynote, Nitya Rao of @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social highlights how gender inequality, malnutrition, & climate vulnerability go hand in hand. Centering gender #equity is key to systemic change.

"Humanity is moving in the wrong direction" says keynote Miguel Altieri. We depend on on only three types of crops favoured by the industrial system - rice, corn, and wheat: "Continuation of the current system is not an option if we want to feed the world" 🌽🌾 cc @slu-global.bsky.social
