No results found.This action sheet is part of a series of action sheets developed under the seven key priority areas of the FAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery programme, the FAO umbrella programme designed to proactively and sustainably address the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. Each action sheet includes a project proposal in support of countries most in need for which FAO is leveraging high-level political, financial and technical expertise. All action sheets are gathered on the Food Coalition web hub, where members of the Coalition - a multi-stakeholder global alliance for a unified global action in response to COVID-19 - can easily access the action sheet project-focused information and data as well as the funding gap on the ground, the type of assistance that would be required and decide how they wish to contribute: through voluntary contributions, provision of expert and expertise, innovative solutions and an exchange of knowledge and experience. -

Protecting the most vulnerable, promoting economic recovery and enhancing risk management capacities
2020The COVID-19 pandemic is having devastating short- and long-term impacts on the lives and livelihoods of people in rural, peri-urban and urban settings. Apart from the pandemic’s toll on human health and everyday life, containment measures, particulary the restricted movement of people and goods, are resulting in a dramatic increase in poverty, destroying livelihoods and increasing food insecurity. The magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 has reinforced the need for global collaboration in terms of managing risks and crises, anticipating threats, coordinating responses and resilience building ahead of future crises. It has revealed how communities, even in wealthier countries, are extremely vulnerable to such crises and has underlined the need for a recovery e ort that focuses on building back better through a transition to more inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies and societies ahead of future pandemics, climate change and other threats. Advancing integrated, multirisk management measures is essential to boosting resilience across all systems, especially agriculture and food systems, to ensure that there is enough food and to safeguard the well-being of present and future generations. FAO’s response draws on the Organization’s vast technical expertise and experience of implementing resilience programming over the last decade, bringing together the actors of humanitarian development and peace-sustaining partners to support agriculture, food security and nutrition, both in countries and in global policy and normative work. Helping smallholders to recover from COVID-19 and concurrent shocks, and enabling them to build their resilience to future threats requires transformative, need-based and demand-driven solutions. -

Decreasing dependency on farm inputs and increasing incomes
2020Also available in:
No results found.A large share of the Central Asian population lives in poor, significantly underdeveloped, rural areas. Agricultural land is fragmented and natural resources, such as fresh water and productive arable land, are increasingly scarce. Farm structure largely comprises of smallholders and family farms, with subsistence farmers and inland fishers among the most vulnerable people in the region. Due to persistent socioeconomic challenges, lack of investments in agriculture sector and the digital divide between rural and urban areas, agricultural practices are suboptimal, which has led to unsustainable land and water resource management. Climate shocks and stresses, coupled with rapid urbanization are adding to the pressure on these limited resources.
