What does it take to support #RuralDevelopment in a changing world? On #WorldRuralDevelopmentDay, IFPRI’s 2025 Global Food Policy Report points to a simple but powerful idea: strong rural economies start with empowered farmers. 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 #GFPR2025’s ‘Section III: Supporting Farmers’ highlights how that support is evolving: ➡️ Advisory services are shifting from one-way technology transfer to helping farmers innovate and adapt. ➡️ Improved seeds and crop varieties foster gains in productivity, nutrition, and resilience. ➡️ Insurance and risk management tools are expanding to help farmers navigate uncertainty and shocks. Shifting from isolated interventions to integrated, farmer-centered approaches builds #resilience over time. 📘 Learn more: ifpri.org/global-food-policy… @CGIAR @UN @FAO @IFAD @IFPRI_Africa #FoodSystems #Agriculture #FoodPolicy
