Synopsis (short abstract) The Business Development Portfolio contains FAO's most relevant programme priorities, inviting its partners to increase their investment in food and agriculture to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Portfolio is organized around 12 focus areas, each highlighting a set of programmes that demonstrates where partnerships can tangibly scale up results. FAO leads international efforts to defeat hunger and all forms of malnutrition. The selection of programmes has been thoroughly screened by FAO's Business Development Task Force, composed of representatives from FAO's Strategic Programme Teams and Regional Offices. The chosen programme Areas are based on FAO's Medium term Plan and Member expectations. They are clearly aligned with achieving the SDGs and reflect: - successful results to be scaled up or replicated elsewhere - new and innovative initiatives, and/or - a response to emerging global concerns. The Portfolio is dynamic and will be refreshed and updated as parternships evolve.

    This publication is the main outcome of a technical workshop on ‘Market system approach for resilient agri-aquaculture food systems in desert and arid countries’ organized by the FAO sub-regional office for North Africa from 13 to 15 October 2022 in Tunis, Tunisia. The workshop brought together experts from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Tunisia as well as FAO staff with the aim of developing a work programme for the development of the sub-sector. The experts discussed and developed three categories of intervention: (i) Expanding market opportunities for freshwater fish; (ii) Improving opportunities to expand freshwater aquaculture and inland fisheries production; (iii) Promoting business opportunities for youth and women in inland fisheries and aquaculture food systems. These programmes concept notes were put together in this business portfolio of investment and are addressed to potential donors seeking to financially support sustainable aquaculture and inland fisheries development in the arid lands of North African countries.

    Are you ready to lead? Using responsible business conduct to address risks in pineapple businesses 2024
    Also available in:
    Responsible business conduct (RBC), implemented through due diligence, can help pineapple producers and businesses improve the sustainability of their operations and gain or maintain access to markets. By adopting RBC and due diligence processes, businesses can mitigate social and environmental risks, avoid financial losses, and enhance long-term profitability. To support this effort, the Responsible Fruits Project prepared the guide "Responsible business conduct in the pineapple industry: A guide for producers and exporters," which focuses on Step 2 of the due diligence process: identifying and prioritizing risks of negative impacts, and provides strategies for addressing these risks as outlined in Step 3 (cease, remedy, prevent, and/or mitigate risks). This technical brief summarizes the guide’s content and aims to introduce readers to implementing RBC and due diligence in the pineapple sector.
