At a side event to the G20, Álvaro Lário, president of International Fund for Agricultural Development, talks about what is needed to guarantee a real transformation for women, with an increase in income and autonomy in the countryside.

1 in 11 people are facing hunger. To tackle this, farming needs to become a business that's worth investing in. I spoke to WSJ Private Equity's Claire Brown about how International Fund for Agricultural Development is innovating rural investment by issuing green, social and sustainability-linked bonds: wsj.com/articles/the-w…

Great to speak to Anneliese Dodds at #G20Brazil yesterday. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office played a central role in setting up International Fund for Agricultural Development's successful ASAP climate initiative. 2 in 3 IFAD projects have a biodiversity component while a third of our climate finance will support nature-based solutions.

At the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty launch in #G20Brazil, I proposed 3 actions: 1⃣ #InvestInRuralPeople 2⃣ Bridge the technological and digital divide 3⃣ Invest in building resilience I invite partners to join International Fund for Agricultural Development's next Governing Council for strong commitments.

🚨733M people are hungry! Sabrina Dhowre Elba and Alvaro Lario, together we can ensure the financing needed is available to eradicate hunger and malnutrition in all its forms. #emptyplates #GlobalAlliance #G20 #HungryforAction #SOFI2024 International Fund for Agricultural Development G20 Brasil

The costs of ending hunger are high. But the cost of inaction is even higher. Sustainable bonds and sharing risk are part of the solution. International Fund for Agricultural Development is using these to attract the private investment that will be key to reaching #ZeroHunger. #SOFI2024 ifad.org/en/web/latest/…

73 million young people around the world are struggling to find work. Some are moving to rural areas, learning to live off the land. See how IFAD is helping to create employment opportunities for them ⬇️ ow.ly/OW1P50SJRkh

The #Paris2024 Olympic Games are the first to achieve gender parity. At IFAD, we are proud to share this commitment to equality, with women making up 50% of our project participants. 🥇Ensuring equal opportunities levels the playing field for gender, and everybody wins.

Indigenous peoples have always lived in harmony with the natural world around them. 🎉 As we celebrate #IndigenousDay, we are proud to stand with them every step of the way to ensure they can continue to protect the forests they call home.

Indigenous Peoples the world over are witnessing how #ClimateChange is disrupting age-old patterns. From the Kadaclan community in the #Philippines, Helen Biangalen-Magata outlines what is needed to change this: climate finance. #WeAreIndigenous ifad.org/en/web/latest/…

Imagine a future where #FoodSystems not only provide healthy food for all, but also protect the planet 🌾🌏 As a global community, we are working to make this vision a reality. Are you with us? 🙌

What's needed to build peaceful & stable rural communities? ✅ resilient rural producers ✅ strong rural economies ✅ income opportunities ✅ food security ✅ access to tools, resources and finance Investing in rural people means investing in a more peaceful world.

Economic aid on its own does not change lives. But investing in the resilience of small-scale farmers can make a lasting difference. #InvestInRuralPeople

As climate change bites and populations grow, our abuse and neglect of the water cycle is compounding every other challenge we face. Ahead of #WWWeek, read why this is a critical moment for water - and how we can turn the tide for #WaterAction. ifad.org/en/web/latest/…

We won't be able to achieve #ZeroHunger without small-scale farmers. They already grow 1/3 of the world's food. Think of what they could achieve with the right investments ✊🌾🌏

How do we measure nature? Solving this issue can demonstrate the value of private sector investments in climate and sustainability, while estimating the costs of inaction. An interesting read on putting a price on nature from Harvard Business Review: hbr.org/2024/08/qa-to-…
