No results found.Conventional agri-food system has to be transformed and diversified to promote dietary and production diversity. Local agricultural production systems offer high potentials for agriculture diversification. Transformation and diversification of agriculture production system will require science-based solutions to support decisive and effective policies, well-targeted investment and use of science to guide practice. Agriculture production that supports and promotes healthy diets, will need a multi-level, multi-actor, multisector and multidisciplinary approach that brings agriculture, environment, natural resources, food, health, trade, economics, rural development agenda together. Under the framework of its Regional Network on Nutrition-sensitive Food System, FAO Regional Office for Near East and North Africa (FAORNE) is co-organizing a special virtual event on “Harnessing local agriculture production system for healthy diets” - Sharing experiences between Asia, Africa and the Near East”, with FAO Regional Offices for Asia and the Pacific (FAORAP) and for Arica (FAORAF). The meeting will take place virtually and it is expected to have leaders and experts from different regions to share and learn on science and research based solutions, innovation and technology in agriculture to ensure access to affordable, safe and nutritious diets for all. It will also discuss science based effective multistakeholder policies and investments that can harness potential of agriculture production system to deliver healthy diet. The meeting will explore opportunities for collaborative work between three regional offices on nutrition-sensitive food system. -
ProjectImplementing the 2030 Agenda for Water Efficiency, Productivity and Sustainability in the Near East and North Africa Region - GCP/RNE/009/SWE 2023
Also available in:
The 2030 Agenda includes water security for all, particularly through the achievement of SDG 6 (Clean water and sanitation) and its related targets. The achievement of this goal is especially difficult in the Near East and North Africa (NENA), where water has always been scarce and in short supply. In recent years, the issue has been compounded by an increasing population and the effects of climate change. The Water Efficiency, Productivity and Water Sustainability (WEPS-NENA) project was designed to facilitate sustainable growth in the NENA region through safe water use. This was to be done with the provision of an adaptive framework for: (i) water resource management and allocation; (ii) reviewing water, food security and energy policies and their nexus; (iii) formulating strategies and investment plans; (iv) modernizing governance and institutions; (v) accounting and tracking flows of surface and groundwater; and (vi) adopting good agricultural practices (GAP). -
