Synopsis (short abstract) An advocacy note has been developed by the FAO, the Global Food Security Cluster, and the WFP to mobilize food and agricultural stakeholders and to upscale action towards the reduction of child labour in agriculture in humanitarian contexts. Special attention should address the heightened risk of child labour in food crises, protracted conflicts and natural disasters. In a crisis or humanitarian setting, tackling child labour through agriculture, food security and nutrition programming is key for recovery and resilience. Well-timed interventions for crisis-affected populations can help to prevent, mitigate, or even eliminate child labour in agriculture, while strengthening livelihoods and building sustainable and secure food systems.
