    The climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative for smallholder farmers in Jordan has been launched under the project Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan Through Improving Water Use Efficiency in the Agriculture Sector (BRCCJ). A suite of climate-smart FFS training materials has been developed for different crops, cropping systems, and climate-smart agriculture technologies. The curriculum has six modules, namely, Module 1: Climate-smart integrated homestead gardening, Module 2: Climate-smart hydroponic leafy vegetable production, Module 3: Climate-smart integrated fruit orchards, Module 4: Climate-smart high-value vegetable agribusiness, Module 5: Climate-smart rainfed wheat and barley, and Module 6: Climate-smart livestock fodder bank. In support of the modules, catalogues for climate-smart agriculture technology have been developed to aid facilitators and farmer learning.In this module, several essential climate-smart technologies that are instrumental in establishing and managing successful smart livestock fodder bank in the project areas in Jordan have been introduced, including the cocoons, and azolla hydroponic fodder production.By promoting sustainable food production and enhancing climate resilience, this module offers a promising pathway towards adapting to climate change and water scarcity while achieving food security, livelihood improvements, and environmental sustainability in Jordan's agriculture sector.

A suite of climate smart FFS training materials has been developed for different crops, cropping systems, and climate smart agriculture technologies. The curriculum has 6 modules, namely, Module 1 Climate Smart Integrated Homestead Gardening, Module 2 Climate Smart Hydroponic Leafy Vegetable Production, Module 3 Climate Smart Integrated Fruit Orchards, Module 4 Climate Smart High Value Vegetables Agribusiness, Module 5 Climate Smart Rainfed Wheat and Barley, and Module 6 Climate Smart Livestock Fodder Bank. In support of the modules, catalogues for climate smart agriculture technology have been developed to aid facilitators and farmer learning.In this module, several essential water-smart technologies that are instrumental in establishing and managing successful IHG in the project areas in Jordan have been introduced, including the following technologies: Sub-surface deep root irrigation system, Wicking beds, Cocoons, Plantable gabions, Smart irrigation technology, Treated greywater for fruit trees, Hydroponics for household (HH) level vegetable production, hydroponics for HH level fodder production (Azolla).By promoting sustainable food production and enhancing climate resilience, IHG offers a promising pathway towards adapting to climate change and water scarcity while achieving food security, livelihood improvements, and environmental sustainability in Jordan's agriculture sector.”

    This document consists of comprehensive guidance for producing FAO publications throughout all stages of the process, from conceptualization to dissemination and beyond. It is divided into sections focusing on matters regarding the workflow, visual identity, content and structure of FAO publications. In addition to FAOSTYLE in six languages, this guidance also includes: "Publishing policy", providing high-level guidance aimed at those involved in the creation or approval of a publishing plan; "Authorship and plagiarism guidelines", outlining the principles and criteria for authorship of FAO publications; "Graphic design guidelines", focusing on the practical application of FAO's visual identity and design standards; “Responsible use of AI in publishing”, covering how to use AI responsibly and ethically when producing a publication; “Open Access policy”, a summary of the policy that encourages the wide use, reproduction and dissemination of the intellectual property that FAO produces; and "Digital publishing", guidance on how to create a digital (HTML) publication. Publishing at FAO is a living document and will continue to evolve as publishing practices evolve. A new section on managing a publishing project is forthcoming. Last updated June 2025.
