Government Provides 70 Combine Harvesters to Farmers Freetown, October 24, 2024 – In a significant step towards bolstering the agricultural sector, the Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Henry Musa Kpaka, was present at the Kissy Mechanical Workshop today to oversee the assembly of 70 combine harvesters. These machines, funded by the World Bank's Food System Resilience Program (FSRP), are intended to assist farmers during the current harvest season. The assembly of some of the harvesters has already been completed, with several units distributed to various farming communities. The remaining harvesters are expected to be fully assembled within the week and distributed soon after. The FSRP, one of the cornerstone projects under the Feed Salone initiative, aims to strengthen the country’s food systems. Project Manager Dr. Kepifri Larkoh expressed his commitment to supporting the Minister’s vision, stating, "I will support the Minister to achieve the goals of the Feed Salone initiative. I believe the FSRP is crucial for addressing hunger and poverty by building resilience in the food systems." Minister Kpaka took the opportunity to thank the World Bank for its continued support through the FSRP, noting that the program aligns with President Bio's vision for agricultural transformation. "From the onset, the World Bank has been a steadfast partner in our mission to ensure food security for all Sierra Leoneans," he remarked. The distribution of these harvesters is expected to improve the efficiency of harvesting operations, reduce post-harvest losses, and contribute to increased food production nationwide. The FSRP remains vital in Sierra Leone's efforts to strengthen its agricultural sector, focusing on sustainability and resilience to ensure long-term food security. https://lnkd.in/dWpaHWhe

Farm to Fork Summit Measures to Help Farming and Food, This week’s Farm to Fork Summit unveiled a raft of measures designed to support farmers over the next year. The main measures included publication of the UK’s first Food Security Index and a commitment to appointing a Tenant Farming Commissioner in the autumn. The new UK Food Security Index will set out how the Government will track UK-wide food security on an annual basis, monitoring domestic food production, land use, input costs and farmer productivity. According to ministers, the index will allow the government, industry and farmers to monitor the impacts of external factors, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or extreme adverse weather events. This year’s index, which revealed that the UK farming sector is at its most productive since records began, has been published alongside a new blueprint to grow the UK fruit and vegetable sector in order to reinforce the country’s food security.
