To end global hunger, invest in rural communities
Even as hunger declines around the world, food insecurity remains prevalent in rural communities. Restoring soil health, expanding access to new technologies, strengthening land rights, and upgrading public infrastructure are essential to boost agricultural productivity and protect rural livelihoods.
Food & Agriculture
Taking women farmers seriously
Rather than designing solutions for half the farming population, agricultural researchers, policymakers, and others must consider the specific needs and preferences of women farmers in developing countries. Only then can the huge female agricultural labour force reach its potential to ensure food security and drive economic growth.
As biodiversity loss accelerates, a new natural history curriculum seeks to rebuild young people’s connection with nature through fieldwork, observation and ecological understanding.
Connecting communities that protect their coasts can yield huge benefits but funding is not flowing to the right places.
