Book (stand-alone)Technical reportMapping FAO’s agrifood system interventions and outcomes for resilience programming
An analysis using large language models
2025Also available in:
No results found.Since 2019, acute food insecurity has steadily increased due to climate shocks, economic disruptions, biological threats, and conflict, with fragile and crisis-affected settings most at risk. In this context, FAO has elevated resilience as a core strategic objective, promoting approaches that prevent, anticipate and adapt to risks in line with the humanitarian–development–peace nexus, though evidence on the effectiveness of agrifood interventions remains limited. This technical report addresses the gap by analysing FAO project documentation with large language models to classify interventions, outcomes and contexts.Interventions are mapped against disaster risk reduction frameworks and FAO’s strategic objectives, while outcomes are categorized into thematic domains. The analysis reveals that nearly 80 percent of interventions focus on risk reduction, while recovery is concentrated in food crisis settings. Interventions often target biological, climate, economic and conflict risks, with farming support, policy development and emergency response as common tools. Outcomes are more evenly distributed across domains, with risk-sensitive agriculture, market linkages, livelihood protection and biodiversity assets most frequent – livelihood protection dominating in fragile contexts and biodiversity elsewhere.Findings highlight the need to better integrate impact management with risk reduction and offer evidence-based insights to guide more coherent, multi-year resilience strategies. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAgrifood systems and COVID-19
Analysis of policy responses in countries with food crisis situations (2020-2021)
2022Also available in:
No results found.The report provides a comprehensive, cross-country analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on agrifood systems in 15 countries and territories experiencing food crisis. The cross-country analysis is based on individual country profiles and findings that are generally valid across the countries. Each country profile describes the policy measures enacted by governments, development and humanitarian partners to contain the virus, including measures taken to protect the functioning of agri-food systems from major disruptions. The profiles assess the effects of such measures on agrifood systems and vulnerable groups, including long-term implications and the investments necessary to make agrifood systems more resilient in future. The report is structured around key messages and findings that are generally valid across the profiles. Examples are used to illustrate some of the policy measures, their impacts and lessons learned. -

Evaluation highlights
2024Also available in:
No results found.The "Building food system resilience in protracted crises" was a four-year programme addressing the cause-effect relationship between conflict and food insecurity, through a livelihood and resilience-based approach, in Somalia, South Sudan and the Sudan. It supported improved incomes in rural areas by enhancing key agropastoral and farming value chains, as well as improved nutritional practices, natural resources management and local conflict-management capacities. The Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO) was a collaborative initative funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Orgranization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with Wageningen University & Research.
