Why are cowpeas a top priority for the future of sustainable food systems?
As climate challenges strain global agriculture, scaling climate-resilient crops like cowpeas is an essential priority.
Here’s why:
They replenish soil nutrients naturally
They grow in tough ...climates with minimal water and inputs
They deliver accessible, protein-packed nutrition
Prioritizing resilient pulses like the cowpea is how we build food systems that nourish people and protect the planet.
Transforming our agricultural systems means prioritizing crops that restore the soil while feeding the future.

Fonio is one of West Africa’s oldest cultivated cereals and a true climate-resilient supergrain. Naturally gluten-free, rich in essential amino acids, and cooked in under 3 minutes, fonio is as versatile in the kitchen as it is vital for our food systems.

👩🏾🌾Women farmers are central to #GoodFood4All—nourishing communities, safeguarding biodiversity & building resilient food systems
Yet many still face unequal access to resources & decision-making spaces
When women farmers thrive, communities thrive

Congratulations to the Dominican Republic for moving off the hunger map, a powerful achievement that shows that targeted policies and local action deliver results. Keep building resilient, nutritious food systems for all 👏

Good news! Global hunger has declined, with major gains in Asia and Latin America & the Caribbean.
Progress is possible, but millions still face hunger.
Let’s keep investing, innovating and acting to make Good Food for All a reality for everyone. 💚
#GoodFoodForAll
One week. Countless pots. Zero personal space left 😂
Better Off Alone? The Chefs Manifesto crew clearly didn’t get the memo — because this squad only knows how to cook up solutions TOGETHER. 🍽️🔥
After plating solutions for Africa’s food systems together, we may ...be going our separate ways, but we’ll be taking lifelong friendships, memories and lessons home with the promise of working together to achieve #goodfoodforall 🍲🕺
