Reducing food loss and waste can cut down on methane emissions, a dangerous greenhouse gas warming our planet. Recognizing this, Feed the Future is promoting a circular bioeconomy, like composting, minimizing waste while improving agriculture productivity.

I’d like to take a moment and highlight the environmental work from USAID LAC. From coral restoration in the Caribbean to supporting zero-emissions transportation, our team’s partnership with local communities is providing greener and brighter futures. medium.com/usaid-2030/cli…

Natural climate solutions—from conserving & restoring forests—are the only proven, cost-effective method for removing carbon from the air at scale. See how we’re working in the 🌍’s most carbon-rich landscapes to combat climate change: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/b985dd…
