Synopsis (short abstract) From the 21st to the 24th, the first training on remoteness and land degradation assessment (using the UNCCD methodology) in Islamabad, Pakistan, was conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the support of the University “La Sapienza” in the framework of the project “Sustainable management of natural resources in mountain areas” (GCP/GLO/052/ITA). The aim of the training was to provide effective and innovative tools to identify vulnerable mountain areas to local institutions, fostering the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda goals. In this first activity in Pakistan, results were excellent: the participants showed interest in these topics, with a high level of interaction.

    Evaluation highlights
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The project aimed to support the conservation of Chilgoza forests through the promotion of sustainable forest management actions for sustainable local livelihoods. The GEF funded this FAO-implemented project in Pakistan through Provincial Forest and Wildlife Departments. It was implemented through a direct approach and was part of The Restoration Initiative. The evaluation scope involved a comprehensive and systematic account of the project’s performance by assessing its design, implementation and results upon completion. It covered the project’s execution period from 2018 to 2024.

    Food loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.

    Sustainable nitrogen management in agrifood systems 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Nitrogen is an essential element in the natural environment, forming critical compounds necessary for all living organisms. As it cycles through air, soil, and water, nitrogen is fundamental to ecosystem functionality. However, improper management of nitrogen in agrifood systems can degrade air, water, and soil quality, while excessive extraction from soils leads to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and exacerbation of climate change. This FAO report provides a comprehensive overview of nitrogen's role, and the challenges associated with its use in agrifood systems. It explores solutions for improving nitrogen management in crop and livestock systems to enhance nitrogen use efficiency while reducing pollution. Additionally, it highlights the potential of circular bioeconomy approaches to optimize nitrogen management and minimize nitrogen losses. By adopting balanced nitrogen practices, agrifood systems can be transformed to ensure food security, improved nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods for farmers while minimizing negative environmental impacts.

    Water availability, use and challenges in Pakistan - Water sector challenges in the Indus Basin and impact of climate change 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This working paper takes stock of Pakistan's water resource availability, delineating water supply system and its sources including precipitation and river flows, and the impact of increasing climatic variability on the water supply system. In particular, the paper focuses on the current water usage and requirements in the agricultural sector, and how changing climatic conditions will affect the consumption patterns. With inflows expected to become more variable in the coming years, the severity of climatic extremities will become more pronounced, driving up water demands in addition to the demand increase from a rising population and urbanization. Over extraction of groundwater resources is also disturbing the water calculus and pushing the country towards a critical demand-supply gap.
