FAO Director-General QU Dongyu

Honoured to meet HE President @KagutaMuseveni to discuss Uganda’s progress on agrifood systems transformation. I reaffirmed @FAO’s support for developing value chains to boost productivity, resilience, and achieve food and income security. #FoodSecurity #4Betters

Honoured to meet HE President @Julius_Maadabio again. We discussed progress in our joint work. I reaffirmed @FAO’s support for developing sustainable value chains, creating green jobs, especially for rural women & youth, & transforming agrifood systems in Sierra Leone. #4Betters

Proud to launch @FAO's first-ever in-depth report on Youth in Agrifood Systems. The message is clear: youth need agrifood systems and agrifood systems need youth. FAO is committed to helping Members to achieve youth-inclusive agrifood systems. #4Betters #MoveFoodForward

Deeply saddened by the passing of David Nabarro. Since starting as @FAO DG in 2019, I was always inspired by his energy, deep commitment and unwavering belief in food security and nutrition for a better world. He will be profoundly missed.

Inspired by my visit to the Palais de la Reine, a repository of Malagasy history and culture. To transform agrifood systems and build a food-secure future, we must blend traditional knowledge with science and innovation, including through @FAO MuNe. #4Betters

Honoured to meet HE Prime Minister @NtsayC. We discussed @FAO’s continued support to Madagascar, including on drought response, locust control, #HandInHand initiative, forest restoration & more in support of agrifood systems transformation. #4Betters

To transform agrifood systems, we must adopt a #SystemsApproach. This new @FAO report shows how to connect actions and build practices that deliver better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life - together. More impact, more efficiently. #4Betters

On #MandelaDay and every day, let’s remember his words, “It always seems impossible until it's done.” We can and must work together hand in hand for better foods and a better future for all, leaving no one behind. Our choices today will shape the world of tomorrow. #4Betters

The @FAO-@OECD #AgOutlook highlights options to mitigate emissions and enhance #FoodSecurity for world’s poorest. We need efficiency, innovative tech, better access to inputs, knowledge and markets, and risk management to help boost farm incomes and livelihoods. #4Betters

Youth face steep barriers in agrifood systems including limited access to skills. The recent @FAO report highlights the need for bold policies to strengthen their agency through education, skills, land, finance & digital tools to #MoveFoodForward. #YouthSkillsDay

I had a productive meeting with @UNOG Director-General @UN_Valovaya. We agreed to enhance mutual cooperation, including deeper engagement on issues related to food, agriculture, and the need for collective action to transform agrifood systems. #4Betters #FAO80

Fruitful meeting with @UNDRR's Kamal Kishore. We discussed ways of leveraging investment in #DisasterRiskReduction & #AnticipatoryAction to mitigate impact of disasters on agriculture. We will keep working together to protect agrifood systems & those who depend on them. #4Betters

Congratulations @ITUSecGen Doreen Bogdan-Martin for hosting #AIforGood Summit and WSIS +20 HL event. Pleased to launch with you Robotics for Good – Youth Challenge 2025–26. @FAO will continue to champion innovation and digital skills to help transform agrifood systems. #4Betters

AI can enable precision agriculture, support climate adaptation, optimize supply chains, forecast weather and disease outbreaks, make food inspections faster and more. Responsible AI is the right and only way to tackle hunger, poverty and climate challenges. #AIforGood #4Betters

Congratulations to Portugal, Republic of Korea and Tajikistan! From agropastoral and agrosilvopastoral systems to fisheries, these #AgriculturalHeritage systems are rooted in traditional knowledge and sustainable practices that build resilient agrifood systems. #4Betters

Congratulations to @FAO Food Loss App Team! We must continue to invest in digital tools that empower farmers by providing data-driven solutions to reduce food loss and transform how we grow, harvest and protect our food. #4Betters #WSIS2025 #Digital4Impact

As #FAOConference ends, we face immense, interconnected challenges. But our unity shows the way forward. Together, through innovation, resilience & partnerships, we must transform agrifood systems for a better future. The need for @FAO has never been greater. #FAO80 #4Betters

My congratulations to Mina Rizk from Egypt on your election as Independent Chairperson of @FAO Council. I look forward to working closely with you and working together for Members in transforming our agrifood systems and achieving food security under the overarching #4Betters.

Transparency isn’t just about sharing data—it’s about building trust, ensuring accountability & supporting evidence-based decisions. @FAO will keep updating the Transparency Portal, as part of our ongoing commitment to openness, accountability & results. #FAOConference #4Betters

My msg at Four Betters for Future Roundtable on Delivering Good Food for All: @FAO's #4Betters are a strategic blueprint for transforming agrifood systems to be more efficient, inclusive, resilient & sustainable. Collective action must start today, not tomorrow. #FAOConference
