From serendipitous to strategic: FAO’s Strategic Innovation Portfolio for Bioeconomy
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report presents FAO’s first portfolio sense-making exercise on bioeconomy innovations, conducted with OECD. It maps 61 projects valued at $247 million, highlighting a concentration at proof-of-concept and transition-to-scale stages. The analysis stresses the need for stronger evidence, skills, and institutional reforms to maximize impact. FAO plans to refine its innovation framework, adopt a Theory of Change, and carry out regular reviews to better align bioeconomy innovations with the Strategic Framework 2022–31 and accelerate sustainable agrifood transformation -

The project has complemented other projects and programmes involved in building capacity regarding the SDG indicators through the use of the cost-effective methods introduced. Integrating Big Data with traditional survey and census data has also enabled users to analyse and monitor, inter alia, the impact of natural disasters on different types of farmers and the effects of climate change on female-headed agriculture households. -

Ensuring quality data and analysis for effective policy support to food systems and Zero Hunger
2020The COVID-19 health crisis is having wide-reaching effects on all parts of society, including on food systems, livelihoods and food security. Timely and reliable information is essential to anticipate and mitigate its negative impacts, in particular, to identify those areas where the pandemic is generating new and unprecedented stress. Traditionally food insecurity hotspots in emergency contexts are most affected, also due to difficulties in supplying humanitarian assistance. In addition, depending on the response to the pandemic, new pockets of food insecurity may appear, even in countries and populations that have not previously been the focus of food security crises. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, FAO is reorienting and upscaling its work on data, information and analysis. Data for decision-making aims to equip countries to implement timely and effective responses to the COVID-19 crisis and promote a swift recovery thereafter. In the framework of FAO’s comprehensive COVID-19 response, the data for decision-making programme is structured around four components: Rapid, repeated assessments of the impact of COVID-19 on food insecurity, using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES); Leveraging innovative data sources to monitor the impact of COVID-19; Adapting agricultural data collection methods to meet new demands, while maintaining the continuity of technical assistance on agricultural surveys; Evidence-based policy support for post-COVID-19 economic and social recovery.
