While crops were lost early this year in Southern African countries due to droughts, Rebecca’s fieldwork in Kenya found that most East African countries had experienced the opposite, with too much rainfall leading to flooding of farmlands. Both resulted in low yield records.

The integrated Future Estimator for Emissions and Diets (iFEED) modelling framework highlights the consequences of climate change and nutrition security (meeting vitamin and mineral needs) in East and Southern African countries that rely mostly on maize as a staple food 🌽

So much gaps on The #KJWA process with Future topics largely left out and @FoodSystems getting contested. Food Loss & Waste, Sustainable Consumption & Production and Alternative Diet are very important for NAPs and resilient agri-food systems within planetary boundaries. @WWF
