ProjectFactsheetSupport to the Forestry Sector Development in Mozambique - TCP/MOZ/3902 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Mozambique has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainable forest management, reduction of deforestation and biodiversity conservation. Since 2017, the Mozambique Forest Investment Plan (MozFIP) has represented this commitment, addressing deforestation drivers and promoting sustainable rural development. With support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a new forest policy was developed, and a draft forest law and its implementation plan were prepared. In 2020, the MAAP (formerly known as Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development) reactivated the Commission for the Revision of the Forest Law and its Regulation (CRLFR), tasked with coordinating and leading the consultation process for revising the Forest Law and its Regulation. The CRLFR conducted participatory studies to assess the adequacy of the legal and policy frameworks in the context of Mozambique’s socioeconomic conditions. This project, developed in response to a formal request by the Government of Mozambique to support the revision of the Forest Law and its Regulation, aimed to ensure a comprehensive, country-specific methodology incorporating intersectoral participation in the elaboration, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Forest Law and its Regulation. FAO supported this process by strengthening national capacities and ensuring that forest law formulation adheres to key principles while drawing on lessons from the MozFIP and other international experiences. Since the implementation of the new regulatory framework requires institutional capacity and financial resources, mobilizing donor support was also a critical aspect for enabling effective implementation. -
ProjectFactsheetSupporting the Development of the Bougainville Food Security Action Plan to Facilitate Enhancing Policy Adoption and Implementation in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville - TCP/PNG/3904 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The AROB is historically known for its rich mineral resources, particularly the Panguna mine, which in the 1960s was the largest open-cut mine in the world. However, the mine's abrupt closure in 1989 due to civil unrest left the region in economic distress, underscoring the need to explore alternative, sustainable sources of livelihood. In response, AROB has recognized the importance of transitioning towards renewable resources, which can provide food and nutrition security, generate income, and support economic independence. The AROB is abundant in agriculture, forestry, land, and marine resources, which are vital for the livelihoods of its population. In alignment with these goals, the FAO has supported the DPIMR in crafting the Bougainville Food Security Policy Framework (BFSP) for 2022-2032. This framework is designed to secure food and nutrition for Bougainville, emphasizing rural growth, gender equity, and environmental conservation. The BFSP's overarching vision is to transform Bougainville into a food and nutrition secure, prosperous nation with a high quality of life. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Policy briefPolicy briefOutcomes and lessons learned from the Koronivia UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture and food security, and the way forward after COP 27
Brief note
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) was established at COP23 to address six topics in the agricultural sector's role in climate change. KJWA has contributed to sharing scientific and technical knowledge, but limitations remain in translating outcomes into concrete climate actions. The new four-year joint work on the implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security, which prioritizes ending hunger and considers national circumstances, includes the creation of an online portal for sharing information. The four-year agenda is shaped and broadened through the submission of views by parties, observers, and civil society and will be considered by SBSTA and SBI in June 2023. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
