Year of publication 2022

Place of publication Rome, Italy ;

Pages 8

Publisher FAO ;

Product type Project

Synopsis (short abstract) Vegetables, together with soybean, provide most of the nutrient rich foods to a large number of people at risk of chronic undernutrition in the country Cooperative farmers grow a wide variety of vegetables, including spinach, Chinese cabbage, red pepper, tomato, cucumber, radish, onion, lettuce, eggplant, and mushroom, both on farm and in a protected environment, namely greenhouses and plastic tunnels Data on the production of vegetables in national farm production in the country are not officially reported Using field level data on a sample of cooperative farms that received FAO emergency assistance to restore production in the wake of floods in 2016 and drought in 2017 it is estimated that about 128 700 ha of cropped area are under vegetables With an average yield of 18 tonnes / vegetables production in the country is estimated at 2 3 million tonnes annually.

    Strengthening Capacities of Farmers and Rural Population on Greenhouse – Phase II of TCP/TAJ/3603 (TCP/TAJ/3603 and TCP/TAJ/3801) 2022

    This project was designed to harness the potential of agriculture in Tajikistan to create jobs, generate income and reduce undernourishment in rural areas through the establishment of greenhouses for vegetable cultivation in seven districts Greenhouses provide a protected environment for the growth of vegetables and the production of seedlings, which can then be sold or consumed by project beneficiaries, boosting their incomes and strengthening food and nutrition security in the targeted areas The project design included capacity development interventions, the construction of locally adapted small scale greenhouses, and the creation of a national strategy for the sustainable production of greenhouse vegetables The project was implemented in two phases after delays during the first phase caused the need for a second.

    Building National Capacity to Measure, Report and Verify Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Thailand’s Forest and Land Use Sector - UTF/THA/034/THA 2021

    The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has adopted a forestry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation mechanism known as “REDD+”, which will provide positive incentives to developing countries to voluntarily reduce their rates of deforestation and forest degradation and increase their forest carbon stocks, as part of a post 2020 global climate change agreement reached at COP 21 in Paris in 2015 (the “Paris Agreement”). The objective of the project was to support Thailand, in particular the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, in establishing a Forest Reference Emission Level (FRL) for REDD+, as well as a Measurement, Monitoring and Reporting (MMR) component of the National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS).

    Advancing Collect Earth Software Development to Support Countries in Reporting Greenhouse Gas Inventories - UNJP/GLO/1018/WMO 2024
    Also available in:

    Within the framework of the UNFCCC, countries report data on GHG inventories at a national level. However, only a few countries currently have the capacities needed for data collection and analysis to ensure consistent and complete land representation of national GHG inventories. To assist countries in this task, FAO introduced Collect Earth, a software designed to aid countries in gathering data on land use activities. In collaboration with the IPCC, UNFCCC and WMO, FAO developed this project with the aim to further enhance the accuracy of activity data reporting for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. FAO and the IPCC agreed to develop a new software module that would enable countries to use the IPCC Inventory Software and the UNFCCC Enhanced Transparency Framework reporting tool in an interoperability mode, which will help improve the transparency and accuracy of national GHG data.
