Organic farming systems tend to support higher biodiversity compared to conventional methods. Studies indicate that organic farms can sustain up to 50% more wildlife and beneficial insects. Additionally, organic practices improve soil health and reduce chemical runoff, contributing to environmental sustainability and improved public health. #didyouknow #cafs #africa #zerohunger #foodsecurity #cafsafrica #communityaction Azeez A.

Pollinators play a crucial role in agricultural ecosystems, contributing to the production of approximately 75% of global food crops. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators help increase fruit and seed yields. However, their populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, which poses a significant threat to global food production. #didyouknow #cafs #africa #zerohunger #foodsecurity #cafsafrica #communityaction Azeez A.

Approximately one-third of all food produced globally—around 1.3 billion tons annually is wasted. This waste occurs at various stages, from production and processing to retail and consumption. Reducing food waste could have a profound impact on food security, as it represents a significant loss of resources and labor invested in food production. #didyouknow #cafs #africa #zerohunger #foodsecurity #cafsafrica #communityaction Azeez A.

The integration of technology in farming, such as GPS-guided tractors, drones, and soil sensors, is revolutionizing agricultural practices. Precision agriculture can increase crop yields by 10-20% by optimizing inputs like water, fertilizers, and pesticides. These advancements also contribute to environmental sustainability by minimizing overuse of resources. #didyouknow #cafs #africa #zerohunger #foodsecurity #cafsafrica #communityaction Azeez A.
