  2. Fifteen #Crops That Could Help Build More #Resilient Food Systems

    By Natalia Rodriguez, 7 September 2026

    "What if some of the crops best suited to improve nutrition, support farmers and strengthen #ClimateResilience are already growing in fields across #Africa – but they are just overlooked?

    The crops featured in Opportunity Crops for #SustainableFood Systems include #amaranth, #BambaraGroundnut, #baobab, #cowpea, #FingerMillet, #fonio, #jackfruit, #JuteMallow, #MiracleBerry, #moringa, #PearlMillet, #pumpkin, #sesame, #sweetpotato and #TurkeyBerry.

    These crops were not chosen randomly. More than 250 farmers, researchers, genebank experts, private-sector and government representatives provided input. They helped identify crops true to local priorities and opportunities in each of the four African countries, and now genebanks are focusing on those crops.

    The publication explores each crop's history, biology, nutritional value, cultivation practices, conservation status, market opportunities and development challenges. Together, the profiles paint a picture of food systems that are more diverse, adaptable and rooted in #LocalKnowledge.

    This demonstrates the importance of listening to farmers and local communities. Their knowledge, experience and continued stewardship have helped conserve these crops and the diversity they represent.

    The opportunity is not to replace the crops the world already depends on, but to widen the field of possibilities. By conserving, improving and investing in crops that farmers and communities already know, we can build food systems with more options – for better nutrition, stronger livelihoods and greater #resilience.

    Opportunity Crops for Sustainable Food Systems shows that some of those options are already here, waiting to be recognized and put to use.

    This publication presents 15 opportunity crop profiles from across West and East Africa, selected through stakeholder consultations held in #Benin, #Ghana, #Tanzania and #Uganda as part of the #BOLDERInitiative. Each crop profile explores the crop’s history, biology, nutritional characteristics, production systems, cultivation status, processing challenges and market opportunities."

  3. 📰 Climate‑Resilient Farming Gains Momentum

    🌍 Europe: Farmers, banks, food companies, insurers and water utilities are supporting regenerative and climate‑resilient farming practices as heat and drought intensify.
    (Welcome aboard the Solarpunk Train, business groups!! )

    🌱 One English farm highlighted by Reuters improved soil quality and water retention through diverse pasture plantings that remained productive despite drought conditions.

    📈 Healthy soils increase resilience, reduce water stress, and can help maintain food production under increasingly variable climate conditions.

  7. @Shivviness @urlyman We currently burn at least 10 calories of diesel for every calorie of food produced¹ by industrial agriculture.. Quite a lot of that diesel is burned in moving food from farm to warehouse and from warehouse to supermarket. of course -- non-local food can never be sustainable (which is why I think that cities cannot be). But most of it is burned on the farm.

    ¹: I've seen much higher estimates

  16. 🫘 February 10 is World Pulses Day!!

    At Open Food Facts, we use data to promote healthier and more sustainable eating habits 🌱.

    Lentils, chickpeas, dried beans... pulses are rich in nutrients and have a much lower carbon footprint than meat.

    👉 Today's challenge: prepare a 100% plant-based balanced meal, with pulses at the heart of the plate.

    Because eating better starts with being better informed.

Imagine food systems where nourishment, fairness, and environmental respect are the core principles. What shifts do you think would happen if conscious food choices became the global norm?

  21. The EU Parliament voted to ban terms like “veggie burger” and “plant-based sausage” because consumers are confused. Research shows people understand what they’re buying. The real issue is bureaucracy, not consumer confusion. Climate and food security challenges remain unaddressed.
