    This guidance has been developed under the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) (SCALA) programme, which supports decision makers to implement the agriculture priorities of their national climate plans. SCALA recognizes the critical role of the private sector in driving innovation and investment for transformative climate action in agriculture and land-use sectors. This guidance provides practical advice on how to translate climate priorities in the agrifood systems into actionable projects by identifying investment opportunities, understanding barriers and risks, and selecting de-risking tools to attract private sector investment.

    Building on lessons learned from the SCALA programme, co-led by FAO and UNDP, this document explores how engaging the private sector can drive effective climate action in agriculture and land use. Identifying challenges, opportunities, and solutions, it demonstrates how businesses can play a pivotal role in supporting countries to implement their climate commitments. Through the SCALA programme, FAO and UNDP are fostering collaboration between governments and private sector actors, reducing investment risks, and strengthening the business case for sustainable practices. With targeted support across 12 countries and beyond, SCALA is helping to transform climate goals into concrete actions that enhance resilience and sustainability in agrifood systems.

    Picturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025
    Also available in:

    This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
