    The farm business school (FBS) experience in Lebanon garnered broad interest in the country and regionally, from grassroots farming communities to development organizations and public institutions. Based on the initial results, the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture embraced the FBS approach and integrated it into different programmes. Farmers elicited facilitators' support in establishing additional farm business schools. Local municipalities extended their patronage to the initiative. Local and international NGOs expressed interest in replicating the FBS as part of their interventions. Following the pilot experience, the FBS approach has been integrated into several FAO programmes in the country. The experience offers good learning for planning and integrating FBS in future programmes and projects.

    The project has helped to improve partnerships between national statistics offices, ministries of agriculture, and other stakeholders with expertise in the relevant new technologies, including GIS experts and departments in other ministries, academic institutions, and international and regional organizations. The project has complemented other projects and programmes involved in building capacity regarding the SDG indicators through the use of the cost-effective methods introduced. Integrating Big Data with traditional survey and census data has also enabled users to analyse and monitor, inter alia, the impact of natural disasters on different types of farmers and the effects of climate change on female-headed agriculture households.

    This action sheet is part of a series of action sheets developed under the seven key priority areas of the FAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery programme, the FAO umbrella programme designed to proactively and sustainably address the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. Each action sheet includes a project proposal in support of countries most in need for which FAO is leveraging high-level political, financial, and technical expertise. All action sheets are gathered on the Food Coalition web hub,  where members of the Coalition - a multi-stakeholder global alliance for a unified global action in response to COVID-19 -  can easily access the action sheet project-focused information and data as well as the funding gap on the ground, the type of assistance that would be required and decide how they wish to contribute: through voluntary contributions, provision of expert and expertise, innovative solutions and exchange of knowledge and experience.
