#ClimateChange is shaking the foundations of the #FoodSystem: predictable seasons, regular rainfall, and healthy soils are no longer guaranteed.
Our Senior Research Impact Fellow @josh_c_ayers is at #HackSummit2026 in Switzerland this week, to share insights on how climate change is affecting the foods we love - and what real adaptation means in the 21st Century.
What do you think? Are we relying on a food system built for a world that no longer exists?

Big day! Published my first book. Big thanks to my co-author, David Boan, @micahglobal and Langham Publishing for giving me a voice. In times like these, local faith communities can and should play a vital role in building the resilience of our communities. /gp/aw/d/1783687916/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1584194335&sr=8-2
“If I had to select one sentence to describe the state of the world, I would say we are in a world in which global challenges are more and more integrated, and the responses are more and more fragmented, and if this is not reversed, it’s a recipe for disaster.” - António Guterres, UN Sec. Gen. #gp2019geneva #therealresiliencedividend #sendaiframework
In 2018, 17 million people were NEWLY displaced by sudden onset disasters! @food4thehungry works hard to reduce risk and increase resilience of those most vulnerable so that this doesn’t happen in the future. #gp2019geneva #therealresiliencedividend #sendaiframework
For every $1 invested in disaster risk reduction ( #drr ) and resilience projects, $5 in future losses is saved. Yet, only 13% of global funding goes to pre-event DRR and #resilience programming. #gpdrr2019 #therealresiliencedividend #sendaiframework @food4thehungry
“Culture, encompassing both tangible and intangible heritage, and creative industries, is not just a vulnerable asset when cities are affected by shocks or stresses, but is also a major resource for their resilience and recovery.” #gp2019geneva #theresiliencedividend #sendaiframework @food4thehungry
“Development planning must be risk-informed, acknowledging the range and complexity of current and potential interactions of risk, human choices, and natural systems.” #gp2019geneva #theresiliencedividend #sendaiframework @food4thehungry
Effective disaster risk reduction avoids reductive measures of institutions, governments, and researchers that treat risks in isolation and outside of their socioecological and socioeconomic contexts. #gp2019geneva #theresiliencedividend #sendaiframework @food4thehungry
@food4thehungry is headed to Geneva for the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction where the focus is on more inclusive societies. FH works diligently to to be a voice for the voiceless...for those not included. #GP2019Geneva #theresiliencedividend #sendaiframework
