BookletHow does the Dairy Modernization and Market Access (DiMMA) programme in Georgia contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and food security? 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Dairy Modernization and Market Access (DiMMA) programme in Georgia aims to improve the productivity of smallholder dairy farming systems through better nutrition and feeding, veterinary care leading to better animal health, and breed improvements. In addition, it aims to strengthen the resilience of farmers to cope with the adverse effects of climate change via improved pasture management practices, capacity development measures, and facilitating stakeholder engagement and policy dialogues. The aim of this study is to report the impact of DiMMA programme on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for both total emissions and emissions intensity (i.e. emissions produced per unit of product), food security (shown in protein production) and resource use (shown in feed intake) for two scenarios: without project (WOP) representing the case without any improvements to herd, feed and manure parameters; and with project (WP) representing the situation with project improvements on herd structure, feeding and manure management over the project timeline. The scenarios with which the impact of WP were evaluated cover a combination of interventions including improved breeding via artificial insemination (AI), improved feeding and nutrition via pasture improvement, training and value chain improvements, and improved manure management via trainings and value chain improvements. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetStrengthening integrated adaptation planning and implementation in smallholder farming systems in southern Africa to support food security 2020

No results found.The Southern Africa sub-region is considered highly vulnerable to climate-related challenges, with high reliance on rain fed agriculture for food production. Large segments of poor rural populations are engaged in subsistence farming, livestock herding and small-scale fishing. Relatively undiversified agriculture production systems and poorly developed infrastructure contributes to the overall vulnerability of small-scale agriculture. Malawi in the south east of Africa, has over the last 30 years experienced variability and unpredictability in its seasonal rainfall. This implies recurrent drought conditions in lower-rainfall zones and subsequently failure of the more desired food crops and pasture. In addition, major changes in climate influence populations of beneficial organisms and pests and alter their effectiveness in agricultural ecosystems. It is in this context that the regional project “Strengthening Integrated Adaptation Planning and Implementation in Smallholder Farming Systems in Southern Africa to Support Food Security” is being implemented. -

One Country One Priority Product - Case Study Series
2025Also available in:
No results found.This publication, developed under FAO's One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) initiative, delves into the transformative journey of camel milk development in India. By modernizing value chains, enhancing rural livelihoods, and promoting the nutritional benefits of camel milk, the case study exemplifies how traditional practices can integrate seamlessly with modern market dynamics. Serving as a scalable model, it aligns with FAO’s overarching objectives of sustainable agriculture and nutrition security, providing valuable insights for similar initiatives globally.
