Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePastoralism and Livestock Adaptation to Climate Change in Eastern Africa Programme (PLACE) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The PLACE programme aims to address the challenges faced in developing sustainable, climate-resilient pastoral systems in eastern Africa through a more comprehensiveand integrated pastoral value chain approach. The project will be implemented in four cross-border cluster areas: Bahr el-Arab, Karamoja, Mandera and Mara-Serengeti Clusters, and covering seven countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Implementation will focus on improving the livelihoods of pastoral communities, including those at risk of displacement, with the goal of reducing economic migration and displacement caused by climate change. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhance the Preparedness and Response Capacity of the Countries of the Sub-Regional Office for Eastern Africa to the Mango Mealybug (Rastrococcus Invadens Williams) (Phase 1) - TCP/SFE/3801 2023
Also available in:
The global and regional spread of plant pests and diseases has increased dramatically in recent years, threatening the food security and sustainable development of the Eastern African subregion This is the result of globalization, trade and climate change, as well as reduced resilience in food production systems due to decades of agricultural intensification If insufficient natural enemies or appropriate control measures are introduced, plant pests can easily spread over vast areas and reach epidemic proportions, causing significant losses to crops, pastures and forests, in turn endangering the livelihoods of vulnerable farmers, pastoralists and the food and nutrition security of millions of people Accidently introduced in Western Africa, the mango mealybug Rastrococcus invadens Williams Hemiptera Pseudoco ccidae represents a significant risk for the whole region, as its reach has been recorded in Central and Eastern Africa, with the first infected plants found in Rwanda Mango mealybug damage is caused by the accumulation of honeydew and sooty mould that impedes the photosynthetic capacity of the plant Heavily impacted plant parts stop growing, while in many cases no new leaves or flowers can be produced In severely affected areas, mango production was reduced by 89 100 percent. -

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 (series)Working paperUrbanization is transforming agrifood systems across the rural–urban continuum creating challenges and opportunities to access affordable healthy diets
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.This background paper to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 discusses the dynamics and drivers of urbanization, the associated changes in agrifood systems and the corresponding risks and opportunities to ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for all. The paper is based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence from scientific papers and informed by new analyses conducted for the 2023 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. A conceptual framework is presented for understanding the different pathways through which urbanization is driving changes in agrifood systems across the rural–urban continuum, and is, in turn, affecting access to affordable healthy diets. -
