Synopsis (short abstract) According to United Nations projections, the world’s population is expected to exceed 10 billion by 2050. One of the most pressing challenges we face is producing enoughfood to feed this population. Although global agriculture has the capacity to feed everyone, according to the latest SOFI around 733 million people still suffer from hunger due toconflict, extreme climate events and economic shocks. The global climate crisis is a significant factor contributing to hunger and food shortages. Agriculture is both one akey contributor to the climate crisis and one of the most severely impacted sectors. FAO is implementing many projects in Türkiye to combat the effects of climate change. These projects focus on issues such as training farmers in climate-smart production models through Applied Farmer Schools and crop diversification. This issue of FAOTURN also includes the latest evaluations of the project to empower Syrians under temporary protection who have fled the civil war in Syria to Türkiye through agricultural employment. Vilcinsas, Deputy Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Türkiye, the donor of the project, who writes under this title, also draws attention. As in every issue, there are also successes and stories of women producers in the agri-food sector.

    In the last issue of FAOTURN 2023, we have prepared a panorama of all the activities and events we have carried out as the Türkiye office in one year. We have implemented hundreds of events and dozens of projects in three different portfolio and Regular Programmes all over Türkiye. In this issue, we have prepared an informative compilation about our partnership programs in our cover file. 2023 was a very difficult year for Türkiye. The earthquakes on 6 February, which killed more than 50 000 people, were particularly challenging for everyone. FAO has been on the ground with producers from the first moment to ensure food security and reproduction in these regions, which are also important agricultural and food production basins of Türkiye. In this issue, our efforts to empower women in the sector and protect their rights also took an important place.

    Rural women are the backbone of the rural economy representing about 43 percent of the agricultural labour force in developing countries. In the Asia-Pacific region, rural women play a key role in food systems and rural household livelihood holding main responsibilities in food production, sale and procurement, food preparation and distribution, family food and nutrition security, as well as child rearing and care giving. As such, gender equality and women’s empowerment in rural areas are central to FAO’s mandate consisting in sustainable agricultural production and rural development for the elimination of hunger and poverty. The Gender Newsletter Asia Pacific #2, 2019 consists in showcasing FAO’s gender-related work at country and regional levels thus contributing to FAO’s strategic objective 6 – Technical quality, knowledge and services. More specifically, this publication intends to share stories, events, publications and activities related to gender and rural women in the Asia-Pacific region with relevant stakeholders on a regular basis.
