Curbing La Niña-induced drought
2023Also available in:
No results found.This study documents the outcome of Anticipatory Action initiatives implemented in January 2021 in Samangan Province, Afghanistan to reduce the impact of La Niña-induced drought on over 7 680 farmers and livestock owners.

The interventions came at a critical time as 42 percent of the population in Afghanistan was already estimated to be experiencing acute food insecurity at Crisis or worse levels, and limited wheat harvests could exacerbate the situation. Drought was officially declared in the country on 22 June 2021. However, FAO managed to act six months earlier, showing the importance of predicting crises and providing pre-emptive support. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change.
