Final report
2016Also available in:
No results found.This report is an evaluation of the project “Establishing a sustainable National Information and Early Warning System (NIEWS) on Food Security in Timor-Leste”, through which the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supported the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) to improve the institutional structures and corresponding capacities necessary to sustain NIEWS. The main purpose of the evaluation was to: (i) provide accountability to the donor; and (ii) draw lessons from the implementation processes that could inform future decisions by the European Union (EU) and FAO on the formulation of a second phase or follow-up intervention. -

2016Also available in:
No results found.Since January 2012, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Timor-Leste has been implementing the European Union (EU) and Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) funded Food Security Project “Establishing a Sustainable National Information and Early Warning System (NIEWS) on Food Security in Timor-Leste”. The project, which budget totals €1,315,310 (EU: 80% and TCP: 20%), has been under implementation for 43 months and is expected to end in July 2015. -

2016Also available in:
No results found.The report explicitly explains the observations and thoughts of the Evaluation Team (ET) particularly summarizing important points from project design to the sustainability of NIEWS, particularly the emphasis on the institutional set-up of the project that was rated as well conceived, as it promoted the ownership of NIEWS by MAF. Recommendations were provided for every category, although some were overlapping that will guide follow-up or future actions on NIEWS. Given a very short visit the ET w as able to analyze and capture project progress and clearly pointed out the important achievements of the NIEWS, despite the challenges encountered during project implementation.

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 (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
