Synopsis (short abstract) The ELEVATE Incubator Programme, spearheaded by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is a pioneering initiative to nurture entrepreneurial thinking and foster a culture of innovation within FAO. By providing creative solutions to global food security challenges, FAO continues to drive positive change in agri-tech and rural development. Through mentorship, financial support, and expert guidance, the ELEVATE programme equips FAO participants with the tools and resources needed to develop their ideas into innovations that accelerate agrifood systems transformation.ELEVATE fosters innovation by encouraging collaboration between FAO teams, researchers, and industry experts, enabling the development of impactful, market-ready solutions that address key agricultural and environmental issues. In addition to technical and business support, the programme offers participants access to a global network of investors, partners, and organizations, accelerating their growth and market reach. By nurturing innovations that prioritize sustainability, resource efficiency, and climate resilience, ELEVATE plays a critical role in promoting the future of agrifood systems. The incubator’s success is evident in the transformative projects that emerge from it—ranging from tech-driven farming solutions to novel approaches for reducing food waste. Through its focus on innovation and collaboration, the ELEVATE Incubator Programme is helping shape a more sustainable and food-secure world.

    En Afrique orientale, la baisse de la fertilité des sols a entraîné une chute des rendements des cultures dans la plupart des petites exploitations agricoles, menant à l’insécurité alimentaire et à une pauvreté accrue. À travers toute la région, les sols sont généralement défi cients en azote et en phosphore, qui sont des éléments indispensables pour une bonne croissance des plantes. La fertilité du sol peut être augmentée par l’utilisation d’engrais chimiques, mais ceux-ci sont trop chers pour beaucoup de paysans et ils ne sont pas toujours disponibles. Une autre option plus abordable est de produire soi-même un compost de bonne qualité, à partir des déchets provenant de votre exploitation et de votre ménage.

    Palau is a global leader in the protection of marine resources. Recently, increased focus on connections between terrestrial and marine ecosystems and their importance to human health, livelihoods and well-being has raised concerns about forest and agricultural resource use, management and knowledge. The goals were to 1) determine current patterns of use and knowledge of forest and agriculture resources, 2) explore how resource use varies by gender and age, 3) use this information to support the development of inclusive, sustainable and resilient food systems and policies that support connections between forests, human health and well- being. Surveys, key informant interviews and participatory mapping workshops were conducted to identify and characterize the current status of forest and agricultural resource use and knowledge. Results indicate that resource use, management, knowledge, importance to livelihoods and perceptions of threats to sustainability and security varied widely by gender, location, and age. Both local and global threats were identified as concerns. Local policy and outreach done in an inclusive manner recognizing the diverse range of forest users and resources, can increase future sustainability of forest and agriculture resources.
