Agriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater globally, accounting for roughly 70% of total freshwater withdrawals. Efficient irrigation techniques, such as drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting, can significantly reduce water waste. Innovations in water management are critical as climate change exacerbates water scarcity. #didyouknow #cafs #africa #zerohunger #foodsecurity #cafsafrica #communityaction Azeez A.

Our Act4Food Core Group Member, Rehman Hassan, had the incredible opportunity to speak at Columbia University’s inaugural Bollinger Convening and World Leaders Forum. This landmark event focused on advancing food systems for the benefit of all humanity. Rehman Hassan delivered a powerful opening session, discussing the needs of young people, the impact of the @whatyoungpeoplewant_ campaign they co-led, and how youth are transforming the food systems landscape. His address followed speeches from world leaders such as the President of Malawi and the Prime Minister of Haiti. The session also brought together senior development partners, including the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We are proud to see young voices shaping the future of global food systems!

Alles Gute zum Welternährungstag! Ich möchte euch die #SchoolFood4Future-Kampagne vorstellen, die vom UMI Fund unterstütz wird. Unser Goal ist es, bis 2030 jedem ghanaischen Kind Zugang zu gesunden und nahrhaften Mahlzeiten zu garantieren. 🫘Im Rahmen unserer Strategie arbeiten wir eng mit #BeansIsHow zusammen. Gemeinsam fördern wir die Integration nachhaltiger Ernährung in den Speiseplan ghanaischer "local" Privatschulen. 🫘Wir sind fest davon überzeugt, dass Bohnen lokal verfügbar und erschwinglich sind. Sie sind zudem ganzjährig erhältlich und stellen eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle zur Verbesserung der Ernährungssicherheit dar. 🫘Besonders für Kinder unter fünf Jahren sind Bohnen aufgrund ihrer zahlreichen Vorteile von großer Bedeutung. Wir sind der Meinung, dass die Integration von Bohnen in das nationale Schulmahlzeitenprogramm ein smarter und kostengünstiger Weg ist.

How to Get Children Interested in Sustainable Agriculture Inspiring the next generation to care about sustainable agriculture is easier than you think! Here are practical ways to get children involved and excited: 🌱 Start a Small Garden Whether it’s a backyard plot or pots on the windowsill, let children plant and care for veggies or herbs. It's a hands-on way to teach them how food grows and the importance of sustainability. 🚜 Visit a Local Farm Take them to a farm that uses sustainable practices. Seeing how food is grown and animals are raised responsibly builds a real connection with the environment. ♻️ Compost at Home Show kids how food scraps can turn into nutrient-rich soil by starting a small compost bin. It’s a great way to teach them about reducing waste and improving soil health! 🔧 DIY Projects Get creative! Have kids build a bird feeder, plan their own garden plot, or make a mini greenhouse from recycled materials. These fun projects foster a mindset of sustainability and innovation. 🍽️ Farm-to-Table Cooking Involve them in cooking meals using fresh ingredients from local farms. They'll not only appreciate the taste but also understand the value of supporting sustainable agriculture. What other ways do you think farming can be made engagaing for children?
