Agrifood systems are all the interactions that shape food we eat, from environment & people to history & culture. Today we tasted one of their most delicious outcomes: Tausug cuisine & were delighted to share this discovery with colleagues from the Bangsamoro region.

Did you know that without seaweed, you wouldn’t have modern computers or AI today?

It all started in 1908 when a Japanese professor tasted his wife’s seaweed soup (kombu dashi) & discovered monosodium glutamate, the source of umami. That led to creating Ajinomoto in 1909.

The benchmark #FAOFoodPriceIndex for world food commodity prices fell in December compared to the previous month, as declines in dairy product, meat and vegetable oil quotations more than offset increases in those for cereals and sugar.

We must work together for impact to follow. For our beneficiaries. For our taxpayers.

Great meeting today between the Rome-based agencies @ifad.org, @wfp.org, @fao.org and the Permanent Representation of the Philippine Embassy in Italy.

United, we can do more. Together we will do more.

Glad to engage with United Nations Philippines at the 🇵🇭 House Committee on Human Rights to explain how the Philippines can align its legislation with international standards
