    The protracted nature of the crisis in Yemen has decimated the livelihoods of vulnerable agriculture-dependant households; and the COVID-19 pandemic compounded their vulnerabilities. In response, the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through King Salman Centre for Relief and Humanitarian Aid, contributed USD 5 million to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for the implementation of a project entitled “Emergency agricultural livelihoods assistance to conflict and COVID-19 affected populations in Lahj and Taiz for improving food security and nutrition”. The project was carried out from 11 October 2020 to 31 December 2022. The overall objective of the project was to protect the livelihoods and improve the food security of vulnerable livestock-keeping and farming households. In addition to capacity-building and awareness raising activities, the project provided 31 400 households (244 496 people) with 4 050 tonnes of concentrate animal feed, 405 tonnes of mineral blocks, 2.2 tonnes of mallow seed, 1.1 tonnes of onion seed, 4 400 cans of tomato seeds and 4 400 farming toolkits (axe, hoe and rake), enabling them to protect their livestock assets and produce 13 900 tonnes of vegetables.

    World tea production and trade

    Tea (Camellia sinensis) is the manufactured drink most consumed in the world. Discovered about 2700BC, it is one of the oldest beverages in the world. Today it is available for consumption in six main varieties, based on the oxidization and fermentation technique applied. The tea crop has rather specific agro-climatic requirements that are only available in tropical and subtropical climates, while some varieties can tolerate marine climates of British mainland and Washington area of the Unites S tates. The tea plant needs a hot, moist climate. Its specific requirements are: temperatures ranging from 10-30oC (zone 8 climate or warmer), minimum annual precipitation of 1250 mm, preferably acidic soils, ideally 0.5-10 degree slopes and elevations up to 2000 meters. Tea production therefore is geographically limited to a few areas around the world and it is highly sensitive to changes in growing conditions. Importantly, its ideal growing conditions are at high risk and expected to significan tly change under climate change.

    Public food procurement for sustainable food systems and healthy diets - Volume 1 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Sustainable Public Food Procurement (PFP) represents a key game changer for food systems transformation. It can influence both food consumption and food production patterns. It can deliver multiple social, economic, and environmental benefits towards sustainable food systems for healthy diets. This publication aims to contribute to the improved understanding, dissemination, and use of PFP as a development tool in particular in the case of school meals programmes. In Volume 1, researchers, policymakers, and development partners can find evidence on how PFP can be used as a development tool and deliver multiple benefits for multiple beneficiaries. It argues that PFP can provide a market for local and smallholder farmers, promote the conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity, and improve the nutrition and health of children and communities. Volume 2 of this publication, available at https://doi.org/10.4060/cb7969en presents further analysis of the instruments, enablers and barriers for PFP implementation. It also provides case studies with local, regional and national experiences from Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America.
