Farmers and food processors are set to benefit from Dutch expertise and technology after a high-level government and business delegation, led by the agriculture minister, visited the Netherlands. The delegation comprised of senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, several captains of industry, and representatives from FAO. The Prime Minister addressed the World Food Day seminar, UN Food Systems Summit, and UN Climate Change Conference. Inception workshops were held for a pesticide removal project and a climate resilient fisheries project. Thousands of livestock producer groups were created. FAO supports fishers to adapt to the climate change challenge. Crop diversification for farmers has boosted their climate resilience and profits. There was a youth discussion how to reduce food waste. A pilot farmers’ market selling chemical and pesticide-free fresh produce in Dhaka proved very popular. -
NewsletterSWM Community Conservancy Project newsletter, Issue 1 - April to October 2021 2021
Also available in:
We are pleased to release the first issue of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Community Conservancy (CC) Project newsletter. Under the SWM Programme, this new Project, funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and co-funded by the European Union (EU), will extend implementation of the SWM Programme to two new sites: Botswana and Namibia. We are working together with communities across the Kavango-Zambezi (KaZa) region in North-East Namibia and Northern Botswana, promoting the CC model to achieve coexistence between people, livestock and wildlife in this biodiversity-rich landscape. This model builds on the Community- Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) approach implemented by the SWM Programme in Zambia and Zimbabwe. This includes several initiatives, such as building partnerships with the private sector, which redirect the flow of socio-economic benefits to local communities. This approach will also benefit conservation by reducing unsustainable hunting for wild meat and mitigating human-wildlife conflict. A strong network of CCs will enhance connectivity between habitats in the KaZa landscape and contribute to conservation efforts in this unique region. We are proud to be partnering with Wild Entrust Africa (WEA) in Botswana and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Namibia, as well as with the respective Governments, to enhance synergies between wildlife conservation and community well-being. -
