DocumentOther documentKenya - Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) Inception Report. Inception Workshop Overview 2018
Also available in:
No results found.The Kenya Inception Workshop of the Integrating Agriculture into the NAPS is an introductory workshop, bringing together the stakeholders necessary for implementing the holistic aims of the project inside Kenya. The report written after the event is to brief both stakeholders, the UNDP and FAO on the event. The Workshop Overview of the Integrating Agriculture in NAPs Inception report enables interested parties to get a brief outline of the event, its attendants and the actions that took place without having to read the entire report. As part of a series of on reports submitted to the NAP-Ag programme, it is hoped that information can disseminated by the executive summaries to increase the effectiveness of partner countries workshops and report writing. The Workshop Overview will also serve as a quick highlight of the progress in partner countries being supported by the NAP-Ag programme. Understanding the processes done by the program’s partner countries allows for greater efficiency both inside the partner country but also among other partner countries. The Workshop Overview of the Inception report gives a breakdown of the key highlights, this allows for an immediate understanding of the outcomes of the summary without reading the entire report. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookEnabling sustainable food systems
Innovators’ handbook
2020Sustainable food systems are fundamental to ensuring that future generations are food secure and eat healthy diets. To transition towards sustainability, many food system activities must be reconstructed, and myriad actors around the world are starting to act locally. While some changes are easier than others, knowing how to navigate through them to promote sustainable consumption and production practices requires complex skill sets. This handbook is written for “sustainable food systems innovators” by a group of innovators from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe who are leading initiatives to grow, share, sell and consume more sustainable foods in their local contexts. It includes experiences that are changing the organizational structures of local food systems to make them more sustainable. The handbook is organized as a “choose your own adventure” story where each reader – individually or in a facilitated group – can develop their own personalized learning and action journeys according to their priorities. The topics included in this handbook are arranged into four categories of innovations: engaging consumers, producing sustainably, getting products to market and getting organized. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManual on Mutation Breeding 2018The 2nd edition of Manual on Mutation Breeding (MMB) was published in 1977. After nearly 40 years it is necessary to update Member States (MSs) with current knowledge in practical plant mutation breeding methods and to provide a comprehensive overview and guidelines for crop improvement using induced mutation and mutation breeding techniques. In 1977 there were 106 IAEA Member States, and as of March 2015 there are 164 MSs. The irradiation services for mutation induction in plant breeding has risen proportionally with the number of MSs. Therefore, the interest for mutation breeding has been increasing. There are now over 3222 mutant varieties released worldwide in over 200 crop species, as compared to 571 mutant varieties in 84 crop species in 1977. Plant mutation breeding continues to be an active area for crop improvement. Plant mutation breeding is under-going a renaissance with new methods and wide application to more crop species in which it can provide shortcuts in developing new mutant varieties. This is particularly relevant in safeguarding food security and is required to meet environmental challenges caused by climate change (resistance to pest and diseases and tolerance to abiotic stresses).
