Book (stand-alone)Technical bookUnlocking the potential of agriculture innovation for family farmers - Thematic catalogue for smallholder farmers to promote innovation 2018
Also available in:
No results found.TECA is an FAO online platform for the exchange and sharing of agricultural technologies and practices for smallholder farmers and producers. The platform facilitates the transformation process in rural areas by making relevant and innovative technologies available to farmers in the field. In doing so, TECA further enhances the access to knowledge of smallholder producers in rural areas increasing their capacity to innovate and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This catalogue promotes a set of successful innovations for farmers on the occasion of the FAO International Symposium on Agricultural Innovation for Family Farmers: Unlocking the potential of agricultural innovation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which will be celebrated in FAO Headquarters on 2123 November 2018. The technologies presented are concrete actions that have solved specific development challenges and promote sustainable and inclusive rural transformations. The technologies and practices are designed following the FAOTECA platform standards and have been tested and refined in the field. Each practice supports smallholder farmers and those providing advisory services to agricultural producers, to identify specific needs, select the correct practices and to implement technologies adequately. Developed with the help of FAO in cooperation with the FAO Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture and other key partners, the GIZ, ICRAF, IFOAM and Swisscontact, this catalogue aims at illustrating how sharing knowledge may unlock innovation throughout the farming process. -

No results found.The purpose of this training manual is to provide a capacity building framework and tools to support the technical and operational implementation of the conflict management training component integral to the Capacity Building and Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) Components of the World Bank-financed Community Based Rural Development Project (CBRDP). The initial outline for this training component was completed during a FAO mission in February 2005 based on a conflict managemen t training package developed and tested in Ghana under the Livelihood Support Programme (LSP) sub-programme 3.4 “Natural Resource Conflict Management.” The training manual was designed and finalized during an FAO-World Bank cooperative agreement technical assignment in July 2006, led by Pamela Pozarny (Rural Development Officer, FAO Regional Office for Africa) with Bizoola Gandaa and Conrad Weobong, both from the University of Development Studies, Tamale, Ghana. -
ProjectFactsheetImproving Agriculture Resilience and Adaptive Capacity to Secure Food and Rural Livelihoods in the Commonwealth of Dominica - TCP/DMI/3703 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Dominica’s agrifood systems are severely impacted by climate change Not only do sea level rises, with saltwater intrusion and inconsistent rain patterns disrupting agriculture production, but the small island is also affected by large scale natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods and tropical storms, which have a lasting effect on the population and the country’s economic resources These calamities are expected to increase in frequency and magnitude, representing significant socio economic risks for the sustainable development of the Caribbean’s islands In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017 which damaged or destroyed 90 percent of crops, climate resilience became a cross sectoral priority on Dominica’s political agenda In this framework, the sustainable management of natural resources, effective institutional coordination and a comprehensive understanding of the conceptual and technological resources available are critical to countering climate vulnerability and food insecurity To adapt to this new complex situation, the Government of Dominica has identified the agriculture sector as a critical domain to guarantee the livelihoods and food security of the population, especially those of vulnerable small farmers, fishers and rural communities The sector accounts for 25 percent of the country’s employment, making it a major contributor to Dominica’s economy.

Book (series)Flagship2024年粮食及农业状况
价值驱动农业粮食体系转型
2024揭示膳食的真实成本是打造更包容、更有韧性、更可持续农业粮食体系的第一 步。正如《2023年粮食及农业状况》所述，农业粮食体系活动为社会创造了重大利益， 但也对经济、社会、环境可持续性产生了负面影响。农业粮食体系的隐性成本估计约占全球国内生产总值的10%。因此，采取战略行动至关重要，农业粮食体系中所有行动主体，包括从生产者、农业企业到消费者和政府等，都应发挥关键作用。虽然实现农业粮食体系转型将为全球带来净收益，但转型的收益和成本在各利益相关方和国家之间却难以均匀分配。《2024年粮食及农业状况》基于2023年版的发现，深入探讨如何采用农业粮食体系真实成本核算，确定转型所需的政策干预措施。报告利用经过更新的全球数据库，确认了先前核算的农业粮食体系隐性成本，并详细列出了156个国家与不健康膳食结构和非传染性疾病相关的隐性成本。报告从六种类型农业粮食体系入手开展分析，根据预期结果和隐性成本设计不同的政策干预措施。案例研究便于我们对国家、地方和价值链场景进行深入评估，展示当前做法对经济、社会和环境的影响，为政策干预措施提供指导。在所有场景下，都必须与利益相关方开展包容性协商，以便为干预措施提供依据，并努力调和权力失衡和不同目标之间的利弊取舍。 -

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.
