Policy briefPolicy briefScaling up investments in agrifood systems for youth in Africa
What policymakers need to know
2022This investment brief highlights the importance of youth as change agents and key stakeholders contributing to sustainable agrifood systems. It provides an overview of the Investment guidelines for youth in agrifood systems in Africa developed jointly by FAO and the African Union Commission through a multi-stakeholder and participatory process. The guidelines aim to accelerate investments in and by youth in agrifood systems by providing practical guidance, including tools and examples, to design, develop, implement, monitor and evaluate youth-focused and youth-sensitive investment programmes and to engage youth fully as partners throughout the entire process. The brief calls for wide dissemination of the guidelines, capacity building of relevant stakeholders to apply them at national and local levels, and concerted and coordinated action to reach these goals. -

No results found.The evaluation highlights the project's strong alignment with national priorities and FAO objectives, effectively addressing the needs of youth organizations and rural youth. It successfully enhanced the capacity of youth in agrifood systems, including agricultural production, digital and financial literacy, and marketing. While progress was made in developing agricultural value chains, further improvement is needed by adopting a strategic market systems approach. The ICA project fostered multistakeholder engagement, strengthening sustainability through national collaboration. However, challenges remain, particularly in access to finance for young agripreneurs and the need for tailored interventions to support diverse youth needs. The evaluation recommends: i) Adopting a strategic market systems approach for sustained systemic change; ii) Continuing a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach to provide comprehensive support to youth; iii) Implementing a two-stage targeting strategy, starting with youth structures and then focusing on individuals, ensuring inclusion of vulnerable groups; iv) Developing an exit strategy that ensures long-term sustainability in countries not continuing in future project phases; v) Establishing a comprehensive results framework and monitoring system for all ICA country projects. -

No results found.The project's third phase, which took place in Guatemala, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal and Uganda, aimed to adopt and implement agrifood system development policies, strategies and programmes. These initiatives focused on youth and were sensitive to both gender and decent work. They intended to generate knowledge, raise awareness on youth emplyment programmes, and develop stakeholder capacity and interinstitutional coordination in the agrifood system. The project also focused on strengthening FAO tools and internal capacity to promote gender-sensistive youth emplyment, foster regional and global knowledge sharing and partnerships, and support youth beneficiaries in coping with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2022Also available in:
Os sistemas alimentares estão intimamente ligados às nossas vidas – através dos alimentos que ingerimos, da nossa nutrição e saúde, dos nossos meios de subsistência, dos nossos empregos, do meio ambiente e dos recursos naturais do planeta. O principal desafio para os sistemas alimentares é produzir alimentos nutritivos para todos, preservando a nossa biodiversidade e o meio ambiente, além de garantir a distribuição equitativa da riqueza. Este Perfil dos Sistemas Alimentares fornece um resumo dos principais problemas do sistema alimentar em Mozambique e destaca soluções potenciais para a sua transformação sustentável e inclusiva. É o resultado de uma análise sistêmica e de uma consulta das partes interessadas que fez parte de uma avaliação global dos sistemas alimentares em mais de 50 países, a partir de uma iniciativa conjunta da UE, FAO e CIRAD que visa catalisar a transformação sustentável e inclusiva dos sistemas alimentares. -

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
