BookletTechnical studyGender equality and climate change
A synthesis of knowledge in agrifood systems
2025Also available in:
No results found.Gender equality and climate change – A synthesis of knowledge in agrifood systems was prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the CGIAR (through the GENDER Impact Platform and the International Livestock Research Institute). This report explores the intersection of gender equality, climate change and agriculture in the lives of smallholder farmers and the important role that gender-responsive climate-smart agriculture plays in achieving food security and building inclusive and resilient agrifood systems. It calls for initiatives that identify gender-specific needs in natural resource management, including both practical needs for daily living and strategic needs for building long-term resilience (such as equitable access to vital resources and participation in decision-making) in different dimensions of their lives. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideMonitoring and evaluation of farm sustainability in the context of climate-smart agriculture interventions
A practical guide and assessment framework tool
2025Also available in:
No results found.This publication represents a first step towards an updated and more holistic take on the original Climate Smart Agriculture concept that is more attentive to the multiple, interconnected dimensions of sustainability, and that acknowledges the synergies and trade-offs between production goals, environmental conservation, and social equity. The methodology it describes will guide national and local governments, project staff and researchers in supporting small-scale producers in a more effective and targeted way, and ultimately help them reap the benefits from more resilient agricultural practices, that increase the productivity of their systems in a sustainable way. -

Regional Initiative on Small-scale Family Farming for the Near East and North Africa
2018Also available in:
No results found.Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of eradicating poverty (SDG 1), hunger (SDG 2) and clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) is not possible without directly addressing the impacts of climate change (SDG 13). Agriculture and food systems are on the forefront of this challenge and nowhere is this more evident than in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. Climate change is projected to increase temperatures and extreme weather events and reduce precipitation and weather predictability. While there will be variations based on local specificity, this will result in a general reduction of the production and productivity of both crops and livestock throughout the farming systems in the NENA region. Small-scale farmers’ livelihoods are at risk due to their direct dependence on natural resources. Further, given that they are the main domestic agricultural producers, the impacts of climate change on these farmers extends beyond the farm to the food security of the region. This makes it even more important for policymakers to determine the most effective ways to support small-scale farmers to ensure that agricultural production and productivity can be managed under changing climate conditions and increasing uncertainty.
