💧Water is life, water is food.
Leave no one behind.
Water is essential to life on Earth.
What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water.
Let’s do our part and take #WaterAction for food!

Young women in agriculture are the backbone of farming, and they play a crucial role in delivering the Sustainable Development Goals.
Empowering them with the right investment and support can improve on a better production, better nutrition, better environment and better life.

Here's one of the strong messages that came through loud and clear at today's #AGRF2023 session on opportunities for youth in agrifood systems, with @FAOAfrica @CGIARGender @AGRAAfrica and @SACAU_media
Share if you agree!

Young people take centre stage at the #AGRF2023 to talk about opportunities for youth in agrifood systems. 💪🏿
"It's not about making agriculture sexy or cool. It's about highlighting the economic opportunities," - William Madudike, Youth Board of Zimbabwe Farmers Union.

The number of formal jobs created in agriculture in Africa each year is much, much less than the number of young people entering the labour market each year.
Digital tools and entrepreneurship are key to creating jobs.
