Support to secure tenure of natural resources through VGGT and other guidelines
2021Also available in:
No results found.This report looks at two sets of guidelines focusing on vulnerable and marginalized people: the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGTs) and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). The evaluation of FAO’s work on Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) found the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on the guidelines to be relevant and a major step forward in addressing discrimination against women and other marginalized groups and in ensuring their equal rights to economic and natural resources. FAO has had more success with the VGGTs, as they preceded the SFF Guidelines and such initiatives take time. A more holistic, less siloed approach could be beneficial. Also, there is still much to do on the social inclusion of youth and people with disabilities if we are to “leave no one behind”. There has been progress on the inclusion of indigenous peoples, but a systematic approach is needed. The multi-stakeholder approach to implementing the VGGTs at national level brings together different sectors, promotes participation and sets the stage for sustainability. There needs to be more engagement with the private sector, particularly industry, to support post-harvest and marketing opportunities and strengthen SSF Guidelines implementation. Care is warranted, however, as a shift in focus to the private sector, public-private partnerships and innovation may negatively affect fishers and indigenous communities. The COVID-19 pandemic may also reverse past gains. -

Support to fair and informed commodity markets and international trade in agriculture
2021Also available in:
No results found.The 2030 Agenda acknowledges that transparent, undistorted and properly functioning food and agricultural markets are an essential element in the global effort to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture (Sustainable Development Goal 2 [SDG 2]). This review examines how FAO supports transparent and inclusive commodity markets and international food and agricultural trade, contributing to the achievement of SDG 2. It was conducted primarily through a review of key documents and interviews with stakeholders. The study found that FAO contributes to the proper functioning of agricultural markets, in particular, by facilitating timely access to market information (SDG target 2.c), ensuring greater transparency in international commodity markets, and providing regular and timely updates on crop conditions, price movements and global supply and demand. FAO’s contribution is aided by comparative advantages arising from its extensive data architecture, involvement in strategic partnerships, reputation as a neutral forum and broad agricultural commodity and country coverage, among other things. The study reveals a need for greater support in the areas of inclusiveness, equality and capacity building in agricultural trade. -

Farmer field schools and their derivatives
2021Also available in:
No results found.Studies and reports on the farmer field school (FFS) approach show that it develops the skills and knowledge of farmers, allowing them to create more efficient and sustainable production systems and, thus, contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As far as SDG 2 is concerned, while there is an indirect link to targets 2.1 and 2.2, the largest FFS contributions are to be found in relation to targets 2.3 and 2.4, which focus on increasing agricultural productivity and income, and sustainable production systems and agricultural practices, respectively. The main objective of this review was to inform the SDG 2 Evaluation on the relevance and contribution of the FFS approach to the SDG 2 targets and the principles of the 2030 Agenda. It found that in addition to developing the methodology at the heart of the approach and exporting it to countries and regions to support small-scale farmers, FAO achieved significant results and brought about substantial change on various levels. The review concluded that FFS went beyond the mere sharing of information and focused more on knowledge discovery through direct experience and community co-creation. The review recommends that FAO continue its work to support national governments in scaling-up the approach while ensuring the quality of the methods. FAO should also ensure that the benefits to farmers’ empowerment continue and contribute to greater coordination and monitoring of results and progress made.
