MeetingMeeting documentThe outline and roadmap of the “FAO Science and Innovation Strategy”
Thirty-sixth Session of the FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific (APRC 36)
2022Recent sessions of FAO Governing Bodies have underlined the importance of science and innovation. The 42nd Session of the FAO Conference emphasized the importance of science and innovation in all of FAO’s work. The 166th Session of the FAO Council approved the Terms of Reference for the International Platform for Digital Food and Agriculture. All Regional Conferences in 2020 included agenda items on innovation. The 27th Session of the Committee on Agriculture (2020) encouraged FAO to include smallholder farmers in a strategy for innovation. To rise to the challenge of harnessing the benefits of science and innovation, FAO’s Director-General requested the development of a targeted Strategy to provide guidance, coherence and alignment for impact at country level through better use of science and innovation. An informal consultation with Members was organized on 21 September 2021. This document presents the proposed outline and roadmap of the FAO Science and Innovation Strategy. -

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideSoil testing methods manual
Doctors Global Programme – A farmer-to-farmer training programme
2020Also available in:
The Soil Doctors programme is developed under the umbrella of the Global Soil Partnership and promotes the establishment of a farmer-to-farmer training system. The Soil Doctors Global Programme aims to build the capacity of smallholder farmers on the practice of sustainable soil management and, by doing so, support governmental agencies and organizations working on agricultural extension at the field level (promoting broader impact and a reduction of costs). Trainings will also rely on the establishment of demonstration farms and experimental fields by the Soil Doctors, which might attract the interest of research institutes and universities involved in the programme. The programme also aims to educate farmers on soil science principles for practices of sustainable soil management and aims to achieve this by providing them with a set of tools composed of some educational materials and a soil testing methods (STM) manual for preliminary soil analysis. The STM is a collection of locally relevant, and easy to use, soil analyses procedures that would be selected by each area where the program is implemented. -

Book (series)Technical studyEnhancing the inclusiveness of agro-commodity procurement zones in Ethiopia – National poverty profile
FAO Agricultural Development Economics Technical Study No. 15
2021Also available in:
No results found.Identifying the pathways through which agricultural investments can be sustainable and inclusive requires assessments of the poverty, livelihoods and food security situation of the populations likely to be affected by such investments. This technical study provides the first in-depth look at rural areas in Ethiopia using the 2018/19 Ethiopian Socio-economic Survey, analyzing the national trends in poverty among rural households along the dimensions of economic inclusion and social sustainability. The study offers an initial characterization of poor and food-insecure people in the country and gives indications of key characteristics that may identify the poorest and most vulnerable groups, analyzed through the lens of the key features of the investments in Ethiopia’s newly developed Agro-Commodity Procurement Zones (ACPZs). The profile complements existing poverty analyses undertaken for Ethiopia, providing an analysis of poverty that is relevant to the investments in ACPZs and agriculture more broadly. Specific emphasis is placed on agricultural production regimes, especially those related to the priority commodities of the ACPZs and their relevance in terms of food and nutrition security. The constraints faced by specific population groups of interest, including rural women and youth, are also identified to inform questions concerning the inclusiveness of investments in ACPZs. Adequate attention to the issues raised in this technical study, complemented with territorial-level investigations, will serve as a basis for developing a knowledge base and targeting tools and interventions that can be operationalized by stakeholders in these investment areas.
