This document summarizes the online discussion How can we protect pollinators and promote their role in environmental and agricultural practices? which was held on FAO’s Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum) from 22 August to 9 September 2016. The discussion was facilitated by James Edge from FAO and by FAO’s TECA Beekeeping Exchange Group. The aim of the discussion was to gather information on the challenges faced by pollinators and on initiatives that are being undertaken to promote pollinating insects. Discussion participants were also asked what needs to be done to encourage the adoption of pollinator-friendly practices.

Food and nutrition security remains a challenge in Mozambique despite a strong policy framework and a series of strategies and action plans to promote poverty reduction, including the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy and the National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB II-2016-2024). The majority of the population lives in rural areas and depends on subsistence farming. The low productivity of the agriculture sector, combined with a poor quality of basic social services and the vulnerability of the sector to climatic shocks, has led to persistently high levels of child undernutrition, food insecurity and poverty. Over 50 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, 24 percent faces chronic food insecurity and 53 percent of children below two years are undernourished.
