ProjectFactsheetInclusive and Resilient Agri-Food System in Rural and Peri-Urban Territories of Kingston - TCP/JAM/3802 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The project was born of pre-existing issues facing the KMA, and Jamaica more broadly. Poverty and youth unemployment before the outbreak of COVID-19 were made worse by the onset of the pandemic. The pandemic disrupted the food supply chain, increased unemployment and cut incomes, worsening existent challenges with regard to food and nutrition security. Additionally, data from the Statistical Institute of Jamaica revealed that one-fifth of the Jamaican population lived below the poverty line and that youth unemployment exceeded 18 percent. This impact is felt disproportionately by the KMA, which is home to 60 percent of Jamaica’s population. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that small farmers in peri-urban and rural Kingston cannot commercialize their produce. The limitations affecting the MIIC and MOEY’s ability to remedy this have negatively affected derivative initiatives, such as the National School Feeding Programme (NSFP). -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This 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.
