ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Rice Value Chains in Côte d'Ivoire, United Republic of Tanzania and Philippines - GCP/GLO/229/ROK 2025
Also available in:
Côte d'Ivoire, the Philippines, and the United Republic of Tanzania share common challenges that hinder the development of rice production and the entire rice value chain. These include low productivity of rice farms and lack of adequate technology and skills for rice processing, resulting in poor quality that reduces the competitiveness of local rice against imports. Other key challenges that constrain the development of the sector include inadequate and limited mechanization of rice value chain activities, inefficient production and provision of quality seeds and other inputs in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner, poor development and/or rehabilitation of rice lands, and lack of water control. Despite the challenges faced by these countries, some Asian countries have already demonstrated that with the right investments, policies and effective political will, accompanied by good agronomic practices and capacity-building activities, countries can increase their national rice production. To address these challenges, the project targeted the three countries mentioned above with the aim of improving rice value chains through South-South Cooperation. -
ProjectFactsheetAppui à l’amelioration de la chaîne de valeur de la filière pêche et pisciculture intégrée en République Centrafricaine - TCP/CAF/3705 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Malgré ses potentialités en matière de pêche et pisciculture, la République centrafricaine recourt à des importations de poisson de plus en plus importantes, les niveaux de production interne ne permettant pas de faire face aux besoins des consommateurs (l’écart entre la demande et l’offre nationale est actuellement de l’ordre de 5 000 tonnes par an) L’une des contraintes majeures au développement de la production reste les capacités très limitées des acteurs clés de cette filière ( pisciculteurs, mareyeuses) en matière de commercialisation du poisson frais et de technologies de transformation des produits halieutiques Afin d’améliorer la résilience des communautés rurales et périurbaines vivant des produits de la pêche et d’augmenter durablement la quantité et la qualité du poisson disponible sur les marchés, le projet avait pour objectif de renforcer les capacités d’environ 1 000 ménages de pêcheurs, pisciculteurs et mareyeuses, en divulguant des technologies améliorées de capture durable, de pisciculture intégrée, de transformation et de conservation du poisson et en fournissant un appui aux activités productives par le biais de distributions d’intrants.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
