Synopsis (short abstract) The case study on the collaboration between FAO and the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) aims to highlight the results achieved through the collaboration established in 2016. Among the activities, the case study will emphasize on how universities, private companies and producer organizations, from several countries, collaborate to develop capacities and raise awareness on topics related to Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forest in the context of national food security and Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems. Further key results focus on the generation and dissemination of knowledge products as well as the assessment and systematization of good practices on food security, nutrition governance, rural economics and climate smart agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean.

    Agriculture and climate change
    Challenges and opportunities at the global and local level - Collaboration on Climate-Smart Agriculture

    This publication is intended to provide an overview of the successes reached by the implementation of Project GCP/GLO/534/ITA “International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture”, funded by IMELS and implemented by FAO. The IMELS has fostered, within this project, knowledge sharing on CSA, the creation and the implementation of GACSA, and the development of initiatives to support developing countries in their international commitments for climate change and sustainable development in the field of agriculture and food security. The various activities and products described in this publication, show the successes of the project in supporting efforts of filling knowledge and implementation gaps, while developing assessments and tools for promotion and implementation of CSA actions. The Project successfully supported the development of several knowledge products such as technical briefs, compendia and e-learning courses, providing a solid base for strengthening capacity on CSA. Over the course of the Project, diverse consultative events (such as workshops, seminars and webinars), were organized, facilitating the knowledge exchange amongst experts, researchers and practitioners. These served as a venue for debate and discussions on defining priority work areas and outputs, as well as to share experiences and lessons learned, providing space for partnerships between the various groups of stakeholders, aimed at building a strong knowledge community that may have a significant role in implementing CSA across countries and regions.

    Towards climate-smart agriculture in Egypt
    Scaling up sustainable practices for enhancing agrifood system resilience and adaptive capacity
    2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This publication examines a number of interventions and practices implemented in Egypt by small-scale farmers, private sector stakeholders, and the state, and analyses the extent to which they contribute to the three-climate smart agriculture (CSA) pillars for building a more sustainable and resilient agrifood system. Such practices were identified and documented through field visits to different agroecological areas, representing the major farming systems in Egypt. The selected CSA practices presented are related to key agricultural activities, particularly intercropping, crop diversification; minimizing chemical fertilizers use; sustainable and integrated water management; and agricultural waste recycling and management. The publication presents the key role of the public and private sector, civil society organizations, and women and youths in the adoption and implementation of CSA practices. It includes also reports on some relevant national programmes that are being implemented by the Government of Egypt as part of its plan to achieve sustainable development goals.

    Climate change and food security and nutrition Latin America and the Caribbean (policy guidelines) 2016
    Also available in:
    Latin America and the Caribbean have shown significant progress in matters of food security and nutrition, which led them to meet the goal undertaken in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Well, these progresses are threatened, among other factors, by climate change and the effects it can have over areas as diverse as food production, income generation, the availability of natural resources or the domestic food supply. The work herein presented by the FAO Regional Office for Latin America a nd the Caribbean shows how climate change affects each of the four dimensions of Food Security and Nutrition: the availability, access, utilization and stability of food. This publication is the first in a series that will approach these matters, in order to produce information to further develop synergies among different policy areas relevant to our region. At the same time, it is an additional element in the cooperation FAO has been carrying out to sustain and support the implementation of F ood Security and Nutrition strategies, within the context of climate change, as a key background to consolidate sustainable development in the region.
