BookletMeasuring carbon and water footprints in pineapple value chains
A training guide
2024Also available in:
This training guide is part of a set of learning materials on measuring carbon and water footprints that was developed to help stakeholders in the pineapple value chain make their operations more resilient and sustainable. Based on the technical guide “Measuring Carbon and Water Footprints in Pineapple Value Chains”, these materials make this information accessible to producers, associations working with small growers, and other businesses. Created by the Responsible Fruits Project, these materials offer a comprehensive set of resources, including a training guide, three slide decks (an introductory deck providing an overview of the tools and two specific decks on carbon and water footprint methodologies), and two videos – one each on carbon and water measurement. These materials will be valuable for trainers and businesses in the pineapple industry as they work to reduce their environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and water quality. Additionally, they support industry efforts to meet international market demands for sustainability and transparency. The development of this training guide and all the related materials was made possible through support from the Government of Germany. -
Book (stand-alone)Resilience assessment of avocado and pineapple value chains 2023
Also available in:
Building resilience is important for agrifood systems – such as tropical fruit value chains – to prepare, withstand and adapt to a wide range of risks, including climate and non-climatic shocks and stresses. Resilience is also important to foster transformation of value chains, to both minimize the negative impacts of external risks on the supply chain and also to prevent new operational problems that could compromise the long-term viability of businesses. The FAO-led Building responsible global value chains for the sustainable production and trade of tropical fruits project conducted a comprehensive study during the last quarter of 2022 to identify the main resilience challenges that participants in the avocado and pineapple sectors are facing. The study also aimed to understand the capacities the actors from both value chains possess to prevent, anticipate, absorb, adapt and transform in view of future climate and socioeconomic risks. The report includes the main results from the study, which were validated by the project participants during a workshop held on 6 December 2022. The findings largely draw on literature review and consultations with some of the main actors from the global avocado and pineapple industries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAssessing the carbon footprint of tea production: case studies and challenges 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Understanding the environmental impact of the entire tea value chain can help identify hotspots for improving and designing sustainable solutions to enable the sector to play its part in the transformative process needed to transit into greener agrifood systems. The objective of this document is to propose a methodology to measure the carbon footprint of the tea sector, and examine the data requirements and some other critical aspects in relation to the implementation of the proposed method.
