DocumentEngaging cities in sustainable and inclusive agrifood systems transformation in the Near East and North Africa region - AGENDA
8-9 November 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.In recognition of the importance of food secure and resilient cities, many local governments across the world are prioritizing food systems in their policies and plans. Their actions usually aim at addressing broader sets of challenges such as malnutrition, environmental challenges and resilience to shocks and extreme events. However, despite the progress, the role of local and regional governments in promoting urban food systems transformation has not been sufficiently recognized at national and global levels. In most cases, particularly in developing countries, local and sub-national governments lack financial and technical capacity to advance sustainable transformation of agrifood systems at scale. To support municipalities in putting cities in the driving seat for sustainable agrifood systems, there is a growing number of urban food systems networks and initiatives at global, regional and national levels. -
BookletTerminal evaluation of the project “Integrating climate resilience into agricultural and agropastoral production systems through soil fertility management in key productive and vulnerable areas using the Farmer Field School approach”
Project code: GCP/ANG/050/LDF - GEF ID 5432

No results found.In Angola available projections agree that smallholder farmers would have severe impacts from climate change given the rainfall dependence of most staple crops, combined with unsustainable agricultural practices and prevalent soil erosion. This report presents the results of the evaluation of the IRCEA project which was implemented to strengthen the climate resilience of agropastoral systems in vulnerable areas of Bié, Huambo, Malanje and Huíla provinces. The project was relevant to the resilience of target beneficiaries and to the government's priority needs. Its effectiveness and efficiency were moderately satisfactory due to several factors highlighted in the report. Though the project sustainability was moderately unlikely, the project created positive environmental and social effects and satisfactorily integrated and empowered women FFS members. The report provides recommendations to FAO on the support it should provide to the government to ensure better integration of the FFS model and CCA/SLM tools in future similar projects and to ensure the management of several project performance factors. -
ProjectVirtual roundtable on Loss and Damage in Rural Livelihoods and Agrifood Systems in the NENA region 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Loss and damage (L&D) refers to persistent adverse effects from climate change that occur despite mitigation and adaptation efforts. Ongoing L&D within agrifood systems poses significant threats to rural livelihoods and sustainable development, as highlighted in the latest FAO report on the impact of disasters on agriculture and food security.1 At the same time, agrifood systems both contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and provide various solutions for adaptation and mitigation, adding a layer of complexity to the relationship between agrifood systems and L&D.
