Towards the transformation of agrifood systems
2024Also available in:
This report summarizes the main results of FAO in Cuba in 2023, another year in which our focus was on advancing towards more efficient agrifood systems, inclusive, resilient and sustainable for Cuba, with the purpose of achieving better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life. In collaboration with the Cuban Government and its institutions and partners such as the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility and the European Union, we continue to consolidate our essential goals in the country, with a total of USD 66 million mobilized between 2019 and 2023. We continue to accelerate results with our most advanced projects with diverse actions such as the acquisition of machinery and supplies to accelerate the fulfillment of our objectives in critical areas such as the adaptation and mitigation of climate change and support for food trade and we advance in the productive restoration of 35 000 hectares of land previously invaded by marabou, implementing agroforestry, forestry and silvopastoral systems to address challenges such as food security, biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of natural resources and we continue to support the country in the construction and implementation of public policies to transform local agrifood systems and improve their governance, including the Food Sovereignty and Food and Nutrition Security Law, as well as other policies and regulations. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBiodiversity in Action — #1 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Biodiversity provides ecosystem services – such as pollination, healthy soils and clean air – that are essential to all forms of life and are key to improving food security and nutrition. As on the global scale, the rich biodiversity and diverse ecosystems of Europe and Central Asia are threatened by changes in land use and intensification in agricultural sectors. The problem of genetic erosion caused by, inter alia, the steady trend of the replacement of local varieties with modern ones is common across the region. The disappearance of the extraordinary diversity of cultivated plants and domesticated breeds selected over millennia and of agricultural and food production knowledge rooted in the cultural identities of local populations will inevitably lead to the collapse of ecosystem services, threatening food security. The FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, through Regional Initiative 3 – “Managing natural resources sustainably and preserving biodiversity in a changing climate” – supports Members in the region in their efforts to reverse the loss and restore biodiversity for food and agriculture and transition to more climate-resilient, sustainable agriculture and food systems by providing them with important tools, knowledge, information and technical support.
