Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureA multi-stakeholder initiative for Sustainable Food Systems in the Mediterranean (SFS-MED) – Albania 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This flyer summarizes key activities and achievements of project GCP/INT/748/ITA “Multi-stakeholder initiative for Sustainable Food Systems in the Mediterranean” (SFS-MED) in Albania. Funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Albania, Jordan, and Morocco, the project was backstopped by the Agrifood Systems and Food Safety Division (ESF). In Albania, the FAO country office supported agrifood systems transformation by facilitating participatory multi-stakeholder policy-making processes through national and sub-national dialogues. This collaborative approach led to the development of a cohesive national roadmap by the Government, national partners, and agrifood systems stakeholders. Agritourism was identified as a key driver for transformation, resulting in capacity-building activities for stakeholders, including farmers and agritourism units, to adopt agroecological farming approaches, establish stronger market linkages, and raise awareness about healthy diets and local agrobiodiversity among consumers, tourists, and school children. The solutions facilitated by the project led to multiple positive outcomes for Albania’s agrifood systems, including increased rural incomes, enhanced employment opportunities, and the promotion of healthy diets that conserve biodiversity and protect the environment. -
BookletPolicy briefالسياحة الزراعية المستدامة: فرصة لتحويل النظم الزراعية والغذائية في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط
موجز تقني
2024تعتبر السياحة الزراعية في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط استراتيجية واعدة لتحويل النظم الزراعية والغذائية إلى نماذج أكثر مرونة وشمولية واستدامة. فمن خلال دمج قطاعات الزراعة والسياحة والأغذية، تقدم السياحة الزراعية فوائد متعددة الأوجه تشمل الحفاظ على البيئة والتنشيط الاقتصادي والتماسك الاجتماعي.فمن الناحية البيئية، تدعم السياحة الزراعية التنوع البيولوجي وتعزز استهلاك الأغذية المحلية وتقلل من الآثار البيئية من خلال ممارسات مثل الزراعة العضوية واستخدام الطاقة المتجددة. ومن الناحية الاقتصادية، تنعش السياحة الزراعية المناطق الريفية، وتخلق فرص عمل، خاصة للنساء والشباب، وتعزز سلاسل القيمة المحلية. ومن الناحية الاجتماعية، تبني السياحة الزراعية الثقة بين المنتجين والمستهلكين، وتعزز محو الأمية الغذائية، وتمكين الفئات المهمشة.وللاستفادة الكاملة من السياحة الزراعية كمحرك للتغيير المنظومي، من الضروري وضع سياسات متكاملة واستثمارات في البنية التحتية الريفية ومنصات حوكمة تعاونية. ويمكن أن يساعد تزويد أصحاب المصلحة بالتدريب وتضخيم أصوات المزارعين في عملية صنع السياسات على توسيع نطاق الممارسات المستدامة في جميع أنحاء المنطقة.وتوفر السياحة الزراعية المستدامة نهجاً نظامياً لمعالجة التحديات العالمية في مجال الأغذية الزراعية مع حماية التراث الثقافي والطبيعي الغني للبحر الأبيض المتوسط، مما يجعل المنطقة رائدة في مجال التنمية المستدامة. -

ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -
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.
