Also available in:
No results found.This presentation has been shown during the 5th Annual Gathering of the signatory cities of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP) in Montpellier (9 Oct. 2019). It summarizes the implementation of a pilot project by the Nairobi City County (Kenya), with the support of FAO and RUAF, related to the monitoring framework dedicated to urban food policy: process or indicators selection; data collection; main results; lessons learnt. The monitoring framework is based of the 37 recommended actions of the MUFPP.

Book (series)Technical studyClimate-smart policies to enhance Egypt's agrifood system performance and sustainability 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, heat waves in Egypt are increasingly severe and frequent, raising the already high evaporation rate, accelerating crop transpiration, increasing soil aridity and elevating water requirements for both human and agricultural consumption in a country where water is imported. The forecasted spike in rainfall variability will affect flow of the Nile River, increasing both drought and high-flow years. While Egypt must produce more food for its rapidly growing population and confront high levels of child malnutrition, agricultural performance is slowing due to inefficient use of land, labour, water and energy along with environmental degradation and limited access to new technology, all of which favour increased incidence of pests and disease. Having tested climate smart agriculture (CSA) in four of Egypt’s most significant value chains – dairy, dates, maize and wheat – the authors demonstrate that CSA practices, technologies and policies will increase agricultural productivity and incomes, strengthen resilience to climate change and improve mitigation of its effects. These important, evidence-based findings have bearing well beyond Egypt’s borders. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookDigital excellence in agriculture report
FAO-ITU Regional contest on good practices advancing digital agriculture in Europe and Central Asia
2023This report is the outcome of the Digital Excellence in Agriculture: FAO-ITU regional contest on good practices advancing digital agriculture in Europe and Central Asia, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Office for Europe and Central Asia and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Offices for Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Launched in November 2020, the contest sought to identify, showcase and celebrate good practices and innovative solutions that have proven successful in advancing the digital transformation of agriculture in the regions. With nearly 200 applicants from 36 countries in the regions, the initiative revealed a diverse, dynamic and future-thinking ecosystem of innovators and problem-solvers. This report summarizes the main trends in digital services and products, the most important technologies used, as well as the difficulties and challenges that arise in the development of digital agricultural applications. Presenting the 29 finalists, the report shares the key challenges applicants are addressing, the digital technologies they are using to succeed, their journeys and their plans for the near future based on the information provided. The report also analyses how the technology infrastructure, the regulatory and business environment, the availability of human capital, and the COVID-19 pandemic represented both challenges and opportunities for digital agriculture practitioners. It provides useful information for developers and service providers already active in this field or planning to enter it, as well as guidance for decision-makers on possible points of intervention. -
Book (stand-alone)Training materialTackling forest crime in West Africa
Training of trainers curriculum
2025Also available in:
This publication presents a comprehensive training of trainers curriculum designed to strengthen the capacity of forestry enforcement officers in West Africa to effectively combat forest crime. Developed under the regional project “Global Transformation of Forests for People and Climate: A Focus on West Africa”, the curriculum addresses key challenges identified in seven West African countries through legal assessments, stakeholder interviews, and literature reviews.Structured into four core modules, the curriculum covers: (1) an overview of forest crimes and their socioeconomic and environmental impacts; (2) the role of international legal frameworks, with a focus on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); (3) investigative techniques and evidence gathering; and (4) transboundary cooperation and lessons learned from regional implementation.The curriculum emphasizes participatory learning and includes case studies, exercises, and discussion prompts to encourage engagement and contextual adaptation. It integrates the use of innovative forest monitoring tools and provides guidance on aligning national legislation with international obligations. Trainers are equipped to tailor content to local realities, facilitate interactive sessions, and promote institutional coordination among enforcement bodies.This resource aims to foster more consistent, informed, and cooperative responses to forest crime in West Africa, contributing to stronger legal frameworks, improved governance, and the protection of forest ecosystems and communities dependent on them.
