Heading to Antalya! 🇹🇷🌍 I am pleased to be attending #COP31 during the first week (8–14 November), representing the @worldfarmersorg (WFO). On the opening day, I look forward to joining the discussion at the Nepal Pavilion on: 🌾 Rebuilding Climate-Resilient Food Systems after Disaster 📅 Monday, 9 November | 14:00–15:00 (Türkiye time) 📍 Nepal Pavilion, Blue Zone – C-245 Farmers are often the first to bear the brunt of climate-related disasters and among the last to recover. We will explore how to strengthen agricultural resilience, support farmers' recovery and prepare food systems for future climate shocks. Looking forward to contributing the farmers' perspective and connecting with fellow participants working at the intersection of climate, agriculture, food security and finance. My thanks to @Heifer International and the organising team, particularly Fabrice Carbonne, for bringing this important conversation to the Nepal Pavilion. If you are at COP31, do join us or let's connect in Antalya! @VolpeLu @AndreaPorro79 @WFOPresident #COP31 #WFO #ClimateResilience #FoodSecurity #ClimateFinance #Farmers

As #COP17 concludes in Armenia, one message is clear: Protecting biodiversity and strengthening farmer livelihoods go hand in hand. Turning commitments into action requires finance, markets and partnerships that support locally led solutions. #Biodiversity #FarmerLed

#OneHealthDay In rural Bangladesh, Shahanara Begum vaccinates livestock and teaches other farmers safe animal care, helping prevent zoonotic disease outbreaks. Heifer International trained her as a Community Agro-Vet Entrepreneur (CAVE). 🐄 In Chowgacha, Jashore, 20 women farmers received their first soil test reports, which guide their nutrient and fertiliser decisions. 🌱

A takeaway from @theGEF and @UNDPbiofin sessions at #COP17: Farmers need finance, markets and technical support to make conservation economically viable and strengthen livelihoods. Investing in local leadership helps farmers and nature thrive. #Biodiversity #FarmerLed

We can learn how to better support smallholder farmers by acting on the advice of farmers like Milexi. Read her @Independent article and find out what farmers like her need to advance in the agricultural industry and sustain their success: independent.co.uk/climate-ch…
I lost my entire livelihood to El Nino once. This time I’m fighting back

I lost my entire livelihood to El Nino once. This time I’m fighting back

I am proof that the right infrastructure, training and support can help farmers cope with extreme conditions, writes Milexi Rodríguez. My farmers’ group is proof it can be scaled for every woman...
