According to @unfao , climate change threatens global food security and our goal to achieve a zero hunger future. That’s why FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva urged for decision-makers to commit to strong climate action at #COP23.⠀

Photojournalist @gretarybus saw the impacts of climate change on food security firsthand in Senegal, captured through this #EyeOnClimate photo:⠀

Herders like Idda Ka are struggling to find food for their herds due to lack of rain. Herders and farmers in the area have been the first in their lineage to have to seek supplemental work in neighboring towns, as they see their crops and herds begin to fail.⠀
⠀
“From observation we can predict the nature of the coming season, using our own signs through trees, insects, the sight of some animals or birds, the sky’s color, its blankness, its murkiness. Years before, it rained well, but sometimes it can be irregular. Last season we experienced misfortune. It rained only two times, just two.”⠀
