To #EndPoverty, we must invest where poverty is most concentrated. With 3/4 of people in extreme poverty living in rural areas, promoting inclusive rural development, decent jobs & access to social protection, resources, finance & markets can build better life for all. #4Betters

The Lobito Corridor is more than a transport corridor. It can connect farmers to markets, attract investment & create jobs. We need investments in production, storage, logistics & markets to make it a corridor for food, opportunity & shared prosperity. #HandInHand #4Betters

Water security is food security. At #RomeWaterDialogue, I called for producing more & better with less water through innovation, efficient water use & 4Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle & replenish. We must protect water resources while ensuring fair access. #WorldFoodForum #4Betters
“Water has cultural, social, economic & environmental value. Responsible governance must recognize all 4.” @FAODG welcomes the opening of the 5th #RomeWaterDialogue High-Level Session on #WaterTenure. “We cannot secure water without changing how agriculture uses & manages it”

Public resources alone cannot transform agrifood systems. Private investment is indispensable. We must turn partnerships into coordinated action, co-financing & targeted investment where they can have the greatest impact in reducing hunger & poverty. #4Betters #HandInHand
