ProjectSupporting Development of Agriculture Land Markets to Bring Abandoned Land into Production - TCP/MCD/3802 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Farm structure in North Macedonia features numerous small family farms with an average farm size of between 1.8 and 1.9 hectares and a few larger corporate farms. Around 40 percent of the total arable agricultural land is state-owned. Excessive fragmentation is evident, with on average five to seven land parcels per farm. Although the average farm size decreased after independence in 1991, recent trends show a rebound. Factors such as excessive land fragmentation and small farm sizes are resulting in low productivity, competitiveness and profitability of farms. Rural outmigration contributes to widespread abandonment of arable agricultural land, with, on average, 32 percent of the arable land in North Macedonia being unutilized. The Government of North Macedonia recognized the potential of bringing back into production both private and state-owned unutilized agricultural land to boost local food production, improve family farm competitiveness and productivity, and stimulate agricultural land markets amid the COVID-19 crisis and multiple crises in the region. -
ProjectSupporting the Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture through Social Protection and Agricultural Interventions - GCP/GLO/480/IRE 2024

No results found.Adopting climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices is a crucial measure that farmers can take to protect their livelihoods and production systems from the harmful effects of climate change; however, financial constraints often limit their ability to adopt these practices. Under a pilot project (FMM/GLO/148/MUL), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented an approach that connected social protection measures with Farmer Field Schools (FFS) in the Mwanza and Neno districts of Malawi. The pilot approach divided FFS participants into three groups: one that received FFS training and a cash transfer, one that received FFS training and agricultural inputs, and one that only benefited from the FFS training. This project was subsequently formulated to measure the impact of these interventions on the adoption of CSA practices among the three groups through an Impact Evaluation (IE). -
ProjectTackling Global Challenges of Hunger, Malnutrition and Climate Change by Transforming Agrifood Systems - GCP/GLO/1091/ITA 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The world is falling short of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the 2030 Agenda, particularly the goal of achieving Zero Hunger (SDG2). Transforming agrifood systems to become more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable is vital to ending hunger and malnutrition, eliminating poverty, conserving and restoring ecosystems, as well as to mitigating and adapting to climate change. The Italian Group of Twenty (G20) Presidency in 2021 placed food security and nutrition as high priorities on the political agenda, as confirmed by the Call to Action to the entire international community for improving global food security and resilient agrifood systems. These efforts were further strengthened by the Group of Seven (G7) Italian Presidency in 2024. Advancing the implementation of the commitments of the G20, G7 and other global fora can contribute to tackling the above-mentioned challenges. This project supported the renewed Italy-FAO partnership, with the objective of realizing the ambitions of the G20 under the Italian Presidency and other global fora, which set key strategic directions in 2021 to tackle the urgent global challenges of hunger, malnutrition and climate change by transforming agrifood systems into more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable frameworks.
