Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEnhancing community resilience to climate change in mountain watersheds
Project brochure
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project Enhancing community resilience to climate change in mountain watersheds (GCP/GLO/042/JPN) is implemented by the Forestry Division (NFO) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Forestry Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF). It aims to strengthen the capacities of institutions and communities in forest-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) in mountain watersheds and increase the resilience of local populations through sustainable agricultural value chains for improved livelihoods.The document presents the successful implementation of identified Eco DRR measures – including on-farm adaptation practices, capacity development and agricultural value chain development, undertaken collaboratively with country and global partners – and exemplifies the role of healthy ecosystems and the benefits of Eco DRR measures for mountain livelihoods and community resilience. This serves as a cornerstone for scaling up the impact of these initiatives in other mountain regions. -
Policy briefPolicy briefLocal efforts for ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and resilient forest livelihoods in the mountain watersheds of the Philippines
Policy brief
2024Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief explores the willingness of local authorities to strengthen adaptation and resilience to climate change while improving social well-being and economic development. It presents forest restoration and sustainable agricultural practices, institutionalized yet led by communities, as effective methods for reducing risks, improving the resilience of farmer communities and ensuring sustainable livelihoods. It builds on the experience of the Municipality of Tublay, Benguet Province, in the inclusion of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco DRR) in communal forest management through restoration and agroforestry activities that support local livelihoods. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureStrengthening resilience after disasters 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The fisheries and aquaculture sector is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including more frequent extreme weather events such as storms or floods. In the aftermath of disasters, FAO has implemented projects to support small-scale fish farmers and strengthen their resilience. It has also assisted farmers, where traditional crops are no longer a reliable livelihood. This factsheet highlights such initiatives in Dominica, Malawi and Cameroon.

Book (series)Technical studyClimate-smart policies to enhance Egypt's agrifood system performance and sustainability 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, heat waves in Egypt are increasingly severe and frequent, raising the already high evaporation rate, accelerating crop transpiration, increasing soil aridity and elevating water requirements for both human and agricultural consumption in a country where water is imported. The forecasted spike in rainfall variability will affect flow of the Nile River, increasing both drought and high-flow years. While Egypt must produce more food for its rapidly growing population and confront high levels of child malnutrition, agricultural performance is slowing due to inefficient use of land, labour, water and energy along with environmental degradation and limited access to new technology, all of which favour increased incidence of pests and disease. Having tested climate smart agriculture (CSA) in four of Egypt’s most significant value chains – dairy, dates, maize and wheat – the authors demonstrate that CSA practices, technologies and policies will increase agricultural productivity and incomes, strengthen resilience to climate change and improve mitigation of its effects. These important, evidence-based findings have bearing well beyond Egypt’s borders. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookDigital excellence in agriculture report
FAO-ITU Regional contest on good practices advancing digital agriculture in Europe and Central Asia
2023This report is the outcome of the Digital Excellence in Agriculture: FAO-ITU regional contest on good practices advancing digital agriculture in Europe and Central Asia, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Office for Europe and Central Asia and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Offices for Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Launched in November 2020, the contest sought to identify, showcase and celebrate good practices and innovative solutions that have proven successful in advancing the digital transformation of agriculture in the regions. With nearly 200 applicants from 36 countries in the regions, the initiative revealed a diverse, dynamic and future-thinking ecosystem of innovators and problem-solvers. This report summarizes the main trends in digital services and products, the most important technologies used, as well as the difficulties and challenges that arise in the development of digital agricultural applications. Presenting the 29 finalists, the report shares the key challenges applicants are addressing, the digital technologies they are using to succeed, their journeys and their plans for the near future based on the information provided. The report also analyses how the technology infrastructure, the regulatory and business environment, the availability of human capital, and the COVID-19 pandemic represented both challenges and opportunities for digital agriculture practitioners. It provides useful information for developers and service providers already active in this field or planning to enter it, as well as guidance for decision-makers on possible points of intervention. -
