Today @FAOBotswana in partnership with the government of Botswana joined the world in celebrating #WorldFoodDay under the theme Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future for all. #FAO80

This #WorldFoodDay carried a special meaning as @FAO marks 80 years of working with Members to end hunger & malnutrition. Guided by the #4Betters, we move forward united, #HandinHand for Better Foods and a Better Future for all. #FAO80

The theme underscores the importance of working together across governments, organizations, sectors, and communities to build a more sustainable and resilient food system. #FAO80

Acting Minister- Lands & Agriculture, Hon Edwin Dikoloti noted that transforming the agric sector can't be done by government alone. True transformation requires partnership that brings together farmers, private investors, financial institutions, academia, #CSOs, & dev partners

Hon Dikoloti expressed gratitude to @FAOBotswana for its support as a steadfast partner, providing technical expertise, financial assistance, & policy guidance to strengthen our food systems.

'As we mark @FAO's 80th anniversary, let us recommit to solidarity, sustainability, & shared responsibility. Let us act boldly, innovate relentlessly, & collaborate deeply by harnessing the power of partnerships to transform our food systems'- Hon Dikoloti said

@FAOBotswana Rep Carla Mucavi mentioned that as we celebrate #WorldFoodDay2025, we also celebrate FAO’s 80th anniversary, and the @UnitedNations birthday on 24 of October. These are eight decades of partnership & progress towards a world free from hunger.

' It has been a remarkable journey of commitment, innovation, and belief that food security and sustainable development are the foundations of peace and prosperity', Mucavi said.

Let us build agrifood systems that deliver #betterproduction, #betternutrition, #betterenvironment, and a #betterlife for all; leaving no one behind. Let us continue walking hand in hand, for better food and a better future, she added.

@FAO’s 80th anniversary coincides with @BWGovernment's transformative agenda for national development. An agenda that rightly places agriculture at the heart of economic growth and diversification.

. @FAOBotswana is supporting @BWGovernment through #GaboroneCityCouncil (GCC) in a #GreenCities initiative to transform the capital into a greener, more resilient, and sustainable urban city.

This collaborative effort, under @FAO’s Green Cities Initiative, will mobilize relevant stakeholders for the urban greening agenda and develop some pilot activities to demonstrate the benefits of urban greening.

Speaking at a stakeholder workshop, GCC Chief Development Officer Mr. Molebogi D. Ramatlhare noted that the initiative comes at a crucial time as cities worldwide face rapid urbanization, climate change, and environmental challenges.

Through this initiative, GCC is piloting urban greening projects and has established an Urban Greening Forum to ensure community ownership and inclusive participation.
