Around the world, women represent only one‑third of researchers and about 35 percent of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) graduates, a figure that has barely shifted in a decade. This untapped potential and equality gap is mirrored throughout agrifood systems, where women are a majority of agrifood workforce but...

Foni – Women in The Gambia have long navigated hazardous waters to collect oysters from mangroves without knowing how to swim. That reality is now changing thanks to a swimming programme run by the global aquatic value chain development programme FISH4ACP, which has reached one in four harvesters nationwide — and...

The aim of this study is...

Today, ‘innovation’ has become synonymous with the rapid development of AI, precision agriculture, bioengineering, and automation. Governments and donors are investing billions in corporate-led digitalization of farming, promoted as essential for climate resilience and productivity.  Head In The Cloud examines how this shift is reshaping power in food systems – concentrating control...

This alert highlights the heightened risk of avian influenza spread in Asia ahead of Lunar New Year due to increased poultry trade, movements and market activity. It summarizes current virus circulation, recent losses, zoonotic events, and provides key recommendations for enhanced surveillance, biosecurity, early detection, rapid reporting, and coordinated One...

From AI-powered livestock monitoring to automated robotic weeders, digitalisation is increasingly shaping food systems. But as these solutions remain largely corporate-driven and narrowly techno-centric, do they align with agroecology? In this panel, we’ll unpack the conditions whether digitalisation supports just, resilient food systems and where guardrails may need to be...

This initiative aims to replace the use of harmful chemical pesticides and fertilizers in the Diender region of Senegal with safe, sustainable agroecological practices. By promoting healthier farming techniques, the project strengthens food security, protects the environment, and improves the livelihoods of local farming communities—particularly women.

This study shows how improved goat housing, supported by the Animal Husbandry Department and facilitated by WASSAN, has enhanced goat productivity and strengthened tribal livelihoods. By upgrading traditional shelters into elevated goat sheds and providing training on animal health, feeding practices, and regular vaccination, farmers saw a clear reduction in disease...

Approximately 30% of global carrot (Daucus carota) production is discarded, illustrating a significant example of food loss and waste within the supply chain. Rather than being sent to landfills, where discarded carrots contribute to environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and incur disposal costs, they could serve as valuable sources...
