“Science and innovation can greatly improve nutrition. Although over 6,000 plant species are cultivated for food, fewer than 200 dominate global production, and just 9 provide 66% of all crops. This limited genetic base reduces nutritional diversity. Expanding the use of neglected and underused species through technology can boost both food variety and environmental health.”

“From an environmental perspective, science and technology offer many ways to reduce our impact—whether in greenhouse gas emissions, water use, or soil management. Agriculture currently consumes most of the world’s freshwater and emits about 30% of greenhouse gases, yet it employs 4.5 billion people. Scientific innovation can make agri-food systems more sustainable through resilient crop varieties, improved farming practices, and technologies that boost productivity while lowering carbon and water footprints.”

“our goal is to ensure that farmers enjoy better livelihoods. Today, they remain at the bottom of the income pyramid, receiving the least reward for their hard work. By improving productivity and enhancing the nutritional value of what is produced, we can create stronger economies and ensure that these benefits reach small-scale producers worldwide.”

“I don’t think we can afford to have only men in leadership positions anymore. Throughout history, it has been shown that female leadership is different from men’s in many positive ways. So, if we want to bring out the full potential of humankind, we should be conscious of those differences and push for gender equality. It’s not so much equality of positions, it’s much more about equality of opportunities.”

“We should also provide women with freedom of choice. With this, eventually society will develop around equal opportunities, and women will feel much more in control of their destiny and not have to choose anymore between having a career and being a mother.”

“On the challenges and obstacles that might hold back some women from getting to top managerial positions, there are many common challenges between the Middle East and the West, but also some cultural differences. In terms of common challenges, all mothers feel protective towards their children and want to give them a lot of love and time. This can get in the way for some women wishing to attain high-level positions.”

“I believe that science holds the key to addressing many of the interconnected challenges we face today — not just one or two isolated issues. Through science and innovation, we can optimize how we utilize our biodiversity by identifying the most suitable crops, animals, fish, and fibers for specific environments. At present, there is often a disconnect between what ecosystems can sustainably produce and what is actually being produced around the world. This imbalance stems largely from decisions that overlook scientific knowledge and the urgent need to meet the demands of a growing population. I am convinced that science and innovation can lead to more efficient production with fewer inputs, ensuring sustainability for the future.”
