Book (stand-alone)General interest bookLeveraging COVID-19 recovery strategies to build climate-smart agrifood systems in developing countries 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has jeopardized the stability of agrifood systems and the welfare of the rural households that are actively engaged in the different components of these systems, particularly in developing countries. Efforts are underway to redress the negative impacts of the pandemic through investments to ‘build back better’. These efforts represent an enormous opportunity to make significant and lasting contribution to the longer-term resilience and sustainability of agrifood systems in the context of climate change. The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the current opportunities for harnessing short-term response and recovery efforts to address longer-term impacts on resilience and sustainability. The analysis focuses on the role of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in recovery strategies and outlines concrete policy objectives that can be implemented by national governments and their development partners. The report is structured in two parts. The first part outlines the nature of the challenges presented by climate change and COVID-19, their interrelationships, and the potential role CSA can play in addressing these interrelated challenges. The second part of the report outlines a set of policy options for enabling post-pandemic recovery efforts to contribute to longer-term resilience of agrifood systems through investments in CSA and associated enabling conditions. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyInvesting in climate-smart dairy value chains in Egypt
Risks and opportunities for private sector engagement
2025Also available in:
No results found.This study is part of the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture (SCALA) programme. SCALA is a joint FAO-UNDP initiative, implemented through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), and is generously funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety through the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The programme is dedicated to addressing climate challenges and enhancing resilience within the agricultural and land-use sectors. It assesses opportunities for private sector engagement in climate-smart dairy production and investment. By mapping the dairy value chain and analyzing climate risks, the study identifies practical interventions that can enhance sustainability and resilience across Egypt’s dairy industry.The study concluded that, while climate change presents significant risks to the dairy subsector in Egypt, it also offers opportunities for transformational investments that can enhance sustainability, resilience, and profitability. By mobilizing private sector engagement, promoting innovation, and implementing targeted financial and policy interventions, Egypt can build a climate-smart dairy value chain that secures long-term food security, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. This report provides a comprehensive roadmap for key stakeholders —including government agencies, financial institutions, dairy producers, and investors—to collaborate in driving climate-smart dairy transformation in Egypt. By taking immediate action, Egypt can create a more resilient, efficient, and profitable dairy sector that benefits millions of farmers and consumers alike. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyGender, agrifood value chains and climate-resilient agriculture in Small Island Developing States
Evidence from: Barbados and Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Palau and Samoa in the Pacific, Cabo Verde,the Comoros and Sao Tome and Principe in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and South China Sea (AIS) region
2022In the current context of climate change, focusing on gender equality in the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) can drive improvements in resilience, food security and nutrition. This document seeks to enrich the knowledge and evidence base on gender, food systems and resilience in the SIDS of the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and South China Sea (AIS) region, providing evidence from Barbados, Cabo Verde, Comoros (the), Palau, Saint Lucia, Samoa and Sao Tome and Principe. It focuses specifically on gender-related roles, gender gaps and traditional knowledge in agriculture and natural resource management to better support women’s participation in value chains and the benefits they receive from value chain development. It calls for radical transformations to build resilient livelihoods, overcome gender inequalities and help rural women and men reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters. Furthermore, the transformations called for, which focus on gender equity, will increase the resilience of rural livelihoods to unforeseen events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in view of the critical role women play in ensuring food security and nutrition.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe 3 pillars of Climate-Smart Agriculture and the Sustainable Development Goals
Synergies and Trade-offs
2019Also available in:
No results found.This flyer provides an overview of the potential of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as described in the FAO publication, on assessing the mapping of CSA and the SDGs and taking into account the interlinked nature of SDGs and countries’ commitments to climate action, in particular the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The flyer is dividied into two main parts. In the first, the visual mapping shows how the three pillars of CSA provide synergies and trade-offs across each of the 17 SDGs. The second part, shows how the five steps for CSA implementation overlap in synergies and trade-offs across the 17 SDGs.
