At a critical moment for global food security and nutrition, my discussions today at the Rome Nutrition Week with @sanchezcastejon, Prime Minister of #Spain, @FAODG, and @WFPChief, focused on the urgent need to strengthen food systems under growing pressure.
The Middle East er vulnerabilities in global food systems. Across fragile and conflict-affected contexts, @IFAD sees these pressures reaching the farm gate through higher input costs, disrupted production and more volatile markets.
Our response must be both immediate and strategic. Protecting livelihoods today while investing in stronger, more resilient food systems for tomorrow. For IFAD, this means investing where food systems begin. In rural economies, small-scale producers, sustainable land and water use, and reduced dependence on volatile external inputs.
Spain has been a long-standing and strategic partner of IFAD, supporting food systems, resilience and inclusive rural development.
Together with committed partners such as Spain, and through the complementary mandates of the Rome based agencies, we can build more resilient food systems, stronger rural economies and a more secure world.
