Supporting farmers and fishers ahead of typhoons in the province of Catanduanes
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Philippines is highly disaster-prone, with the province of Catanduanes frequently impacted by typhoons. In 2020, super-typhoon Goni caused over USD 100 million in agricultural losses, and in 2024, six typhoons hit in one month, severely affecting livelihoods and food security. From 2020 to 2024, FAO worked with national and local authorities to pilot and institutionalize anticipatory and shock-responsive social protection measures to support farming and fishing communities. Activities included emergency cash assistance, simulation exercises to strengthen local capacities, and the activation of anticipatory action protocols ahead of super-typhoon Man-Yi in 2024. This promising practice highlights how social protection systems can be adapted to deliver timely support before and after climate-related disasters.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookAfghanistan's Agro-ecological zoning atlas. Part 2: Agro-ecological assessments
A study of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in collaboration with FAO

No results found.Agriculture is crucial for the national economy of Afghanistan and in particularly so for the agriculturally dependent population which is constituting 60 percent of the total population. Adoption of new strategies for agriculture monitoring, rural land use planning and land management are urgently required to reduce hunger and poverty among rural population and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. The availability of reliable information on natural resources and agriculture for its monitoring and analysis is indispensable to development and implementation of such strategies. However, productivity in the agricultural sector has been relatively low. Afghanistan has the potential to increase its output of cereals, fruits and vegetables. For this purpose, the project “Strengthening Afghanistan Institutions’ Capacity for the Assessment of Agriculture Production and Scenario Development” (GCP/AFG/087/EC), funded by the European Union, is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Among the project objectives are improving the understanding of the country’s national resources endowment and limitations as well as assessing agricultural production capacities under current climatic conditions and likely impacts of climate change. Within the context of this project the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) support and implement a National Agro-Ecological Zoning activity in Afghanistan (NAEZ) which assesses quality and availability of land resources and identifies crop cultivation potentials - suitable area, production and attainable yield - under prevailing soil and terrain conditions and for given current or future agroclimatic conditions. One of the outputs of the NAEZ activities is this Agro-Ecological Zones Atlas which is based on applications of the FAO/IIASA National Agro-Ecological Zoning system for current and future climates. The Atlas provides two distinct parts, namely: -

Adoption of new strategies for agriculture monitoring, rural land use planning, and management are urgently required to reduce hunger and poverty and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. The availability of reliable information on natural resources and agriculture for its monitoring and analysis is indispensable to the development and implementation of such strategies.

Within the context of this project, FAO and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) are developing a National Agro-Ecological Zoning activity (NAEZ) in Afghanistan. This Atlas is the first of two books and provides the collected information and maps of the country based on the agro-climatic Indicators.
