Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochure#ElCampoSigue Radio: Safeguarding rural livelihoods in the face of COVID-19 in Colombia
Webinar – 18 March 2021: Summary points
2021Also available in:
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, radio broadcasts, among other channels, have been extensively used as a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) strategy. In Colombia, they have been instrumental in especially reaching rural communities. FAO in Colombia, through the #ElCampoSigue campaign, designed a communication and social mobilization strategy, aimed at providing information to actors along the food supply chain, in order to manage the impacts of COVID-19 — and the other shocks — on the agriculture sector and food and nutrition security. The campaign that translates to “Farming doesn’t stop”, offers a suite of communication tools for advocacy, public training and awareness to food supply chain actors. Almost a year after Colombia’s first lock down measure in March 2020, communication and innovation have proven to be vital strategies in the fight against the pandemic. Against this background, this immersive webinar sought to recreate the experience of the El Campo Sigue radio broadcasts. This radio show style webinar specifically aimed to: • Share experiences from #ElCampoSigue and the lessons learned at the community-level. • Emphasize how communication programs are a strategic mechanism that support rural communities in sustaining the processes of production, transportation and marketing of agricultural products despite the economic barriers generated by COVID-19. • Discuss the synergies and partnerships that facilitated the response to the emergency, as well as the recovery approaches. -

BookletTechnical studySalvaguardar los medios de vida y promover la resiliencia a través de los PNA: Estudio de caso Colombia 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Este estudio de caso sobre Colombia es parte de una serie de estudios de caso de países que describe los pasos a dar para formular e implementar los Planes Nacionales de Adaptación (PNA). Los estudios de caso se enfocan en la adaptación en el sector agropecuario, que incluye la silvicultura, ganadería y pesca. La serie se propone brindar información valiosa a los diseñadores de políticas nacionales obtenida por sus colegas de Asia, África y América Latina que se encuentran en el mismo proceso de construcción del PNA para abordar los múltiples desafíos del cambio climático. Asimismo, cada estudio de caso describe los aportes y las lecciones aprendidas del Programa Integración de la Agricultura en los Planes Nacionales de Adaptación (NAP-Ag). Además, se identifica la contribución de este trabajo al logro de los objetivos nacionales e internacionales de desarrollo y cambio climático (en particular, los del Acuerdo de París y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible).

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

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.
