ProjectFactsheetBuilding Sustainable Tropical Fruit Value Chains Globally - GCP/GLO/022/GER 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The tropical fruit sector is very important in many developing countries, as it provides incomes and jobs for hundreds of thousands of farmers and other workers, contributing to the enhancement of livelihoods and food security in these countries. In addition, tropical fruit exports generate substantial earnings for several developing countries, and their unit value is the highest among fruits and vegetables. Tropical fruits are also part of a healthy diet for millions of people. Despite its importance, the sector faces significant sustainability issues (environmental, economic and social), which have been compounded by the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic. This project was formulated to mitigate these issues by fostering the development of more sustainable and responsible tropical fruit value chains though multistakeholder engagement. The project will initially prioritize work with the private sector (companies, trade associations and producer organizations) due to its central role in these value chains. This includes facilitating collaboration between relevant actors and capacity development activities to strengthen producer organizations and other private sector actors so that they may participate actively in the development of these value chains. -

No results found.Increasing investment in agriculture is critical to achieving Zero Hunger and reducing poverty. However, not only more but better investments are required—investments that sustainably benefit livelihoods, the environment and communities. The CFS principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS RAI) are the first global agreement that provides guidance on the topic. FAO works through a needs-driven Umbrella Programme to engage with governments, small-scale producers, civil society, academia and the private sector in the application of the CFS RAI. -

DocumentOther documentPrinciples for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems 2014Responsible investment in agriculture and food systems is essential for enhancing food security and nutrition and supporting the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security. Responsible investment makes a significant contribution to enhancing sustainable livelihoods, in particular for smallholders, and members of marginalized and vulnerable groups, creating decent work for all agricultural and food workers, eradicating poverty, fostering social and gender equality, eliminating the worst forms of child labour, promoting social participation and inclusiveness, increasing economic growth, and therefore achieving sustainable development
