With depleted food prod. capacities & weakened livestock, urgent action is critical. Supported by the Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (#EHF), @FAO is delivering lifesaving support: quality seeds, fertilizer & vet supplies across 4 regions in 🇪🇹. Every mile counts in the lean season.

High-level engagement at @FAOEthiopia with UN ASG & RC/HC in Ethiopia, @ozonnia (@UNEthiopia): “Change doesn’t happen through small projects - it’s about scale.” @FAO Rep. in 🇪🇹 Orlando Sosa: “We’re uniquely positioned to support #Ethiopia’s transformation under #OneUN.”

🚨 Enzo Maresca: “I’m feeling ready for next chapter, that’s the most important thing. Man City job? What matters, apart from clubs, is to be ready”. “There still fee weeks before the season ends and then we will see what happens”. 👀 As revealed months ago, Man City see Maresca as ideal candidate for the job if/when Pep leaves.

🚨🎙️| Didier Drogba: “I’ve always defended Chelsea F.C. as the biggest club in London because of what we’ve achieved over the years trophies, European nights, history, mentality. But I have to be honest… if Arsenal F.C. end up winning both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season, then I will have no choice but to give them maximum respect. If they do that, I’ll say it with my full chest they deserve to be called the pride of London. Winning the league is hard enough, but doing that and conquering Europe in the same season? That changes conversations forever. A lot of Chelsea fans may not like hearing this, but football is about respecting greatness when you see it. If Arsenal pull it off, then nobody can deny what they’ve built. I may be Chelsea forever, but I’ll respect them like champions.”

Country-specific Food Composition Tables (FCTs) are vital for #FoodSystems, yet many #LMICs, including 🇪🇹, use outdated data. With support from @gatesfoundation, @FAO & @EPHIEthiopia updated Ethiopia’s 25-year-old FCT using new analytical data. More: 👇 rb.gy/uiktf7

The Bounty of the Basket initiative is more than a policy—it is a statement of values. It reflects a government that respects its citizens, honors the nation, and acts with purpose to secure a better future. Through renewed and intensified implementation, the government has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable food security—not as an abstract goal, but as a lived reality for households across the country. Launched under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD), this initiative has already transformed the lives of countless families. And its impact is not temporary. It is designed to endure, to scale, and to continue delivering results for generations to come. Bounty of the Basket has reimagined what is possible—turning once-overlooked backyards into engines of productivity and dignity. It aligns squarely with our national health policy, which places nutrition and disease prevention at its core. By integrating innovative practices, the initiative has brought animal-sourced nutrients directly into daily diets, improving health outcomes where they matter most: at the household level. At its heart, Bounty of the Basket is about life itself—about health, about national pride, about safeguarding the image and dignity of our country, and about realizing a shared vision of sustainable food security. And because of the tireless efforts of dedicated citizens and institutions working hand in hand, our baskets are fuller today. With the same resolve, they will be even fuller tomorrow.
