The SAFE Initiative of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) will mobilise at least ten billion US dollars to implement proven climate-smart agricultural practices such as regenerative agriculture, integrated soil fertility management and solar-powered irrigation. SAFE aims to mobilise strategic investments from public and private investors to address food security issues, improve livelihoods and create green jobs. #Foodsecurity #Climatechange #Soloarenergy #Foodloss 👉https://ow.ly/ZNSg50QjF1o

#POV:On the ground, adverse effects of climate change on our small scale farmers: Limpopo is prone to high temperatures, and the five (5) women led cooperatives lost track of monitoring their irrigation schedule due to heat stress, which badly harmed their crops, particularly spinach, tomato, and cabbage, as these were the dominating crops during the first season. The five cooperatives confronted the following challenges during vegetable production: Flooding, severe heat stress, frost, and pest & locust infestations. Which hindered the data capturing process and monitoring of water use efficiency through chameleon card and sensor arrays leading to low yields/quality and in extreme cases no yields. Since then our project partners, Water and Energy for Food Grand Challenge and World Vision South Africa Vision, have since installed shade nets for the five women-led cooperatives. With the installation, the small scale farmers have since been able continue their irrigation efficiency with the chameleon card, thereby improving their yield,subsequently, enhanced income. Success stories to follow.

Food security is a critical issue in Africa, with many regions facing several challenges such as drought, climate change, and limited access to resources. Sustainable agricultural projects, as the ones developed by @Agricultiva in synergy with other subsidiaries of @Mitrelli, play a key role in addressing these challenges 🌱💧 By investing in #sustainable #agriculture, African countries can enhance food production, lower the dependance on higher priced imported food products, ensure food for its populations, reduce poverty, and build resilience to climate change. #SDG #Impact #Mitrelli #Agricultiva #Owini #Sustainable #agriculture

🌍💧 Unlocking the Power of Efficient Water Use in Agriculture with IFC 💪 Water scarcity is a pressing issue, especially in South Africa. And the agriculture sector is by far the largest user. How can we help move to more efficient irrigation? Discover how Westfalia Fruit, a company with the largest avocado growing footprint in the world, is getting support from IFC to adopt sustainable practices and improve water efficiency saving 1.1 million cubic meters of water each year! More to come as IFC works with 21 other leading agribusiness companies in South Africa to increase water saving measures. 🌱💧 Click the link below to learn more about IFC's initiatives and how you can be part of the solution! 👇 https://lnkd.in/ekBEDRQ7 #WaterEfficiency #SustainableAgriculture #IFC #APREProject #WaterConservation

Without water there is no food availability nor sufficiency. Owini and Agricultiva, as the food security arms of Mitrelli Group have the expertise to devellop agricultural projects at a national, regional and local level sustained by innovative irrigation systems while ensuring best use of available water resources and meeting growing demands for food and other agricultural products. #FoodSecurity #impact #Innovation #Water

🌾 As the global population continues to surge at an unprecedented rate, the agricultural sector faces a monumental challenge - producing more food while using less water. 💧 Water is the lifeblood of agriculture, and our current practices often strain this finite resource. 🌱 Precision agriculture, drought-resistant crops, efficient irrigation techniques, and responsible water management are all key facets of the solution. 🚜 By harnessing technology, research, and collaborative efforts, we can find the balance between meeting the growing food demand and safeguarding our water resources for future generations. 🌍 At #Bayer we work collaboratively across areas to ensure food security, foster environmental stewardship, and pave the way for a sustainable future. 💡#PrecisionBreeding #RegenerativeAgriculture #PopulationGrowth #Sustainability #Innovation https://lnkd.in/dK_UhYcf

While we are on a mission to solve the food challenge in Africa, we are aware that the farmers play a huge role in the food chain and as such need all the support they can get. This makes us committed to empowering farmers with cutting-edge solutions that not only reduce farming costs but also promote environmental sustainability, thereby, bringing us closer to achieving our goal of building an Africa that feeds itself and the world.

The beauty of Philippine agriculture goes hand in hand with the challenges it faces. Our lush fields and vibrant crops are susceptible to natural disasters like typhoons and droughts. 🌪️☀️ However, we're not backing down! Efforts are underway to fortify our agricultural sector, enhance climate resilience, and safeguard our food production for generations to come. 🌱🌎 Through the adoption of innovative technologies, such as precision farming and smart irrigation systems, we're empowering our farmers with tools to adapt and thrive in the face of climate uncertainties. 💡🚜 Sustainable practices take center stage as we harmonize nature's rhythms with our farming methods. From organic farming to agroforestry, we're preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems while nurturing bountiful harvests. 🌿🌳 Risk management strategies play a pivotal role in mitigating the impact of climate-related challenges. Early warning systems, crop insurance programs, and community-led initiatives help protect farmers' livelihoods and ensure a more resilient agricultural landscape. 🌾🤝 #FarmKonekt #FarmerAcceleratorPlatform #DesignThinking #AgriTech #ClusteredFarms #ServantLeadership #CommunityDevelopment #ProjectZacchaeus
