Agnes Kalibata: Cómo empoderar a los agricultores y nutrir el planeta

Cómo empoderar a los agricultores y nutrir el planeta

Los pequeños agricultores de África alimentan a millones de personas y sustentan la economía, pero suelen carecer de los recursos básicos necesarios para prosperar, afirma Agnes Kalibata, científica agrícola y responsable política. Kalibata explica cómo dotar a estos agricultores de mejores herramientas, estrategias de resistencia al cambio climático y acceso a los mercados, para que puedan seguir alimentando a la humanidad a la vez que cuidan del planeta.

Smallholder farmers, who grow 70 percent of the food in Africa and parts of Asia, often lack the resources to thrive. With access to better seeds, fertilizers, and markets, even one bag of improved seed can multiply yields and transform lives, as seen when a Ugandan mother harvested three times more crops. Investing in these farmers not only lifts families and communities out of poverty but also builds resilience against climate change and secures food for millions. Supporting their success is essential for nourishing both people and the planet.
