Book (stand-alone)Technical studyInvesting in climate-smart dairy value chains in Egypt
Risks and opportunities for private sector engagement
2025Also available in:
No results found.This study is part of the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture (SCALA) programme. SCALA is a joint FAO-UNDP initiative, implemented through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), and is generously funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety through the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The programme is dedicated to addressing climate challenges and enhancing resilience within the agricultural and land-use sectors. It assesses opportunities for private sector engagement in climate-smart dairy production and investment. By mapping the dairy value chain and analyzing climate risks, the study identifies practical interventions that can enhance sustainability and resilience across Egypt’s dairy industry.The study concluded that, while climate change presents significant risks to the dairy subsector in Egypt, it also offers opportunities for transformational investments that can enhance sustainability, resilience, and profitability. By mobilizing private sector engagement, promoting innovation, and implementing targeted financial and policy interventions, Egypt can build a climate-smart dairy value chain that secures long-term food security, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. This report provides a comprehensive roadmap for key stakeholders —including government agencies, financial institutions, dairy producers, and investors—to collaborate in driving climate-smart dairy transformation in Egypt. By taking immediate action, Egypt can create a more resilient, efficient, and profitable dairy sector that benefits millions of farmers and consumers alike. -
Book (series)Technical studyClimate-smart policies to enhance Egypt's agrifood system performance and sustainability 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, heat waves in Egypt are increasingly severe and frequent, raising the already high evaporation rate, accelerating crop transpiration, increasing soil aridity and elevating water requirements for both human and agricultural consumption in a country where water is imported. The forecasted spike in rainfall variability will affect flow of the Nile River, increasing both drought and high-flow years. While Egypt must produce more food for its rapidly growing population and confront high levels of child malnutrition, agricultural performance is slowing due to inefficient use of land, labour, water and energy along with environmental degradation and limited access to new technology, all of which favour increased incidence of pests and disease. Having tested climate smart agriculture (CSA) in four of Egypt’s most significant value chains – dairy, dates, maize and wheat – the authors demonstrate that CSA practices, technologies and policies will increase agricultural productivity and incomes, strengthen resilience to climate change and improve mitigation of its effects. These important, evidence-based findings have bearing well beyond Egypt’s borders. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookManaging risks to build climate-smart and resilient agrifood value chains
The role of climate services
2022Also available in:
This work provides a preliminary analysis of the key climate risks affecting agrifood value chains and opportunities for climate services that reach stakeholders involved in all stages of the value chain, from agrifood production to harvest, storage and refrigeration, processing and packaging, transportation, markets, trade and consumption. Climate services provide opportunities to effectively and comprehensively mainstream climate risk management across the entire agrifood value chain, in addition to increasing sustainability and efficiency in the face of changing climate conditions. This report provides significant primary information and recommendations on the development of climate services across the agrifood value chain with a view to systematically enhance sustainable and resilient opportunities. It also provides a basis for further research and investment funding in this area. Its findings could spark follow-up research and public and private investment.

Book (series)Technical reportJoint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Tropane Alkaloids
30 March – 3 April 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.Between March and April 2019, many cases of suspected food poisoning were reported by health care workers in the Karamoja region of the Republic of Uganda. Consumption of food products that had high levels of tropane alkaloids was identified as the cause. This group of compounds occur in several plant genera that belong to the Solanaceae family and can contaminate staples like cereals and grains. Given the absence of international guidance and regulations, a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Tropane Alkaloids was convened remotely between 30 March – 3 April 2020. This publication captures the discussions of the expert meeting and provides risks assessments of tropane alkaloids (hyoscyamine and scopolamine) as well as recommendations outlining appropriate risk management options. -
