Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetInnovating with Farmer Field Schools to accelerate transitions toward sustainable, resilient and fair agrifood systems 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Over three decades, Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have proven to be fertile spaces where women and men from farming communities generate, test, and adapt ideas that respond to local challenges and support food security and nutrition, climate resilience, ecosystem health and inclusive rural development. This brief speaks to rural development organizations, researchers, and practitioners seeking practical pathways to accelerate innovation for agrifood system transformation. It provides a new lens to intentionally nurture and scale innovations in the context of FFS interventions, and highlights practitioners’ recommendations to improve the contributions of the FFS approach to innovation towards more sustainable, fair and resilient agrifood systems. It is part of a new series of guidance notes and factsheets which draw on documented experiences of innovations in development interventions using FFS. -
DocumentEngaging cities in sustainable and inclusive agrifood systems transformation in the Near East and North Africa region - AGENDA

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. -

2025Also available in:
No results found.The Chitakas1 Farmer Field School (FFS) model has been successfully implemented in the Cunene, Namibe, and Huila provinces of southern Angola, in close coordination with the government at the central, provincial, municipal and community levels. The initiative contributes towards enhancing nutrition-sensitive food systems while building climate resilience by leveraging Chitaka practices. Central to the model’s success is its incorporation of community practices, sustainable climate-smart farming techniques, nutritional education, and market linkages, with a focus on empowering women farmers.
