Sponsored by Sustainable NorthWest, this video explores rural American life, home to nearly 70 million people. It challenges common stereotypes with statistics: 18.5% of rural residents under 65 lack health insurance, with two-thirds from families of four earning under $37,000 annually. The median age is 39.

The video also highlights environmental shifts, noting that Montana's Glacier National Park, which had 150 glaciers in 1910, now has only 27.

The International Day of the Potato will be globally celebrated on May 29, 2026, hosted by the Kingdom of Lesotho. FAO Director-General QU Dongyu shared a video message for this occasion. The theme, "Where potatoes grow, livelihoods flourish," underscores the crop's vital role.

Potatoes are crucial for supporting farmer livelihoods and value chains worldwide, from their Andean origins to communities across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Promoting sustainable production and strengthening value chains, this crop contributes significantly to poverty reduction, improved resilience, and inclusive agrifood systems.

Oromia and Somali regions faced a devastating 2020-2022 drought, the worst in 40 years, causing nearly seven million livestock deaths, rangeland depletion, and livelihood loss. Despite recent rains, recovery remains slow, with 3.7 million people at risk from forecasted below-average rainfall in March-May 2025.

With USD 1.26 million from the Government of Sweden, FAO implemented an anticipatory drought mitigation project. Targeting 56,500 households (282,500 people) and over 4.5 million livestock, FAO vaccinated 6.17 million animals, trained staff, and distributed feed. These efforts led to a 45% drop in livestock mortality, doubled milk production, a 79% decrease in poor food consumption, and a 54% reduction in negative coping mechanisms.
