    Doctors Global Programme – A farmer-to-farmer training programme
    2020
    Also 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.

    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.

    The photo-book draws the attention to the implementation of the “Developing Capacity for Strengthening Food Security and Nutrition in Selected Countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia” project in Armenia, launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Russian Federation. The FAO project assists the Government of Armenia to improving the effectiveness of the National School Feeding Programme and creating sustainable value chains, testing various models of vegetable production in greenhouses in school areas. This book shows how the inclusion in the diet of schoolchildren of fresh vegetables and herbs grown on the school grounds will allow you to diversify the menu, enrich it with useful vitamins and minerals, so necessary for the healthy development of the child’s body. Climatic conditions, as well as the availability of free space in the territory of many schools in Armenia, are a stable base for creating school greenhouses, where you can grow products for school meals.
