🌏 At COP28, we're amplifying the voices of women farmers and confronting the critical issue of financial access in agriculture. Despite their significant contributions to both economic growth and climate adaptation, women farmers often face considerable barriers in obtaining the financial support they need to drive the sustainable transition of our food systems. 🤝 Join us in supporting these incredible women who are not just farming their land but also sowing seeds of change. Let's invest in their strength and vision to create a more sustainable and equitable future in agriculture!

🌍 Live from #COP28 🌱 This COP, 134 countries united at the forefront of climate action by signing the Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action - recognizing that agriculture and food systems must be at the heart of climate action. Now, the real work begins: converting these commitments into powerful actions. Collectively, we can address both global emissions and protect the lives and livelihoods of those on the frontlines of climate change.

This COP was a historic moment for agriculture and food. For the first time, food systems were a top priority in the COP agenda. Our heartiest congratulations to Adam Gerstenmier, Imelda Bacudo, and their colleagues in the COP28 UAE Food Systems team for securing the landmark Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action. 159 member states have already formally recognized food systems transformation as a global priority for #ClimateAction. But now the work starts to convert commitments into action. At Grow Asia we are already working with our public-private partners to deliver this declaration on the ground. In Dubai, we spoke to our partners who are spearheading this shift from the conference table to the field, starting with the rice value chain. Watch our video to hear from Adam Gerstenmier from the Food Action Alliance and Senior Advisor to UAE COP28 Food Systems Unit, Dhruv Sawhney from Rize, Natasha Santos from Bayer Crop Science, and David C. Y. Chen from AgriG8. It is only through partnership that transformational change is truly possible at scale. We are inspired by these pledges of leadership by our partners' and we applaud their willingness to collaborate. Together 🤝, we are committed to putting the tools and financing into the hands of the millions of small businesses that will ultimately deliver our global transition to a low-carbon future. #COP28 | #LocalAction | #GlobalImpact
