ProjectEmpowering Agroecology: Engaging Stakeholders, Sharing Knowledge, and Building Capacities for Sustainable Food Systems - MTF/GLO/664/MKF 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Agroecology is recognized as a crucial approach for advancing sustainable food systems, with significant global growth in research, practices and policies over the past decade. Since 2014, FAO has organized global and regional meetings aimed at fostering a multistakeholder dialogue on agroecology to identify both opportunities and barriers for scaling up this approach. The project specifically focused on addressing critical gaps related to the co-creation and sharing of agroecological knowledge and evidence. Specifically, the intervention aimed to achieve three primary objectives: enhancing accessibility to agroecological knowledge, fostering a platform for information sharing, and establishing strategic connections to facilitate collective action in advancing agroecological transitions. -
ProjectPromoting Nutrition-Sensitive Food Systems through a Multistakeholder Approach - GCP/GLO/712/JPN 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Eliminating malnutrition in all its forms is imperative to breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. To ensure that food systems support healthy diets and better nutrition, it is necessary to strengthen the knowledge base and capacities of key stakeholders. With funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) of Japan, FAO is implementing a project in Ghana, Kenya and Viet Nam, with the overall goal of developing the capacities of relevant academic institutions and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in these countries to promote and adopt nutrition-sensitive approaches that contribute to making food systems conducive to healthy diets. The three expected Outputs can be summarized as follows: (i) to improve capacities of nutrition- and food science-oriented universities to transfer skills and competencies on nutrition-sensitive food systems and value chains; (ii) to scale up the capacities of SMEs to adopt nutrition-sensitive business approaches and practices through multistakeholder collaboration, including the private sector, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), and academia; and (iii) to develop an e-learning course targeting SMEs for the improvement of knowledge and skills on nutritionsensitive food systems, which will be disseminated in the targeted countries and worldwide.
