ProjectFactsheetSupporting the Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture through Social Protection and Agricultural Interventions - GCP/GLO/480/IRE 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Adopting climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices is a crucial measure that farmers can take to protect their livelihoods and production systems from the harmful effects of climate change; however, financial constraints often limit their ability to adopt these practices. Under a pilot project (FMM/GLO/148/MUL), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented an approach that connected social protection measures with Farmer Field Schools (FFS) in the Mwanza and Neno districts of Malawi. The pilot approach divided FFS participants into three groups: one that received FFS training and a cash transfer, one that received FFS training and agricultural inputs, and one that only benefited from the FFS training. This project was subsequently formulated to measure the impact of these interventions on the adoption of CSA practices among the three groups through an Impact Evaluation (IE). -
ProjectFactsheetImproving Agricultural Productivity, Nutrition Security, and Climate-Smart Agriculture in Bhutan - UTF/BHU/013/BHU 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is central to Bhutan's economy, but the sector faces significant challenges that limit growth and rural poverty reduction. The country's mountainous terrain and poor infrastructure isolate many communities from markets and essential services, creating persistent disparities between urban and rural areas. As such, food insecurity and malnutrition remain pressing concerns, particularly in remote regions. To address these challenges, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provided technical assistance to the Food Security and Agriculture Productivity Project (FSAPP), implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MoAL) across five southwestern districts of Bhutan, funded by the Royal Government of Bhutan and financed through the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP). Through collaboration with key partners, the project built capacity among researchers, agriculture extension officers, and farmers while developing critical infrastructure. Key activities focused on strengthening farmer groups, enhancing agricultural productivity, improving market access, and promoting nutrition through behaviour change communication and school feeding programmes. This comprehensive approach aimed to transform subsistence farming into commercially viable agriculture while ensuring food security and improved nutrition outcomes. -
ProjectFactsheetStrengthening International Coordination and Collaboration on Climate-Smart Agriculture - GCP/GLO/534/ITA 2025
Also available in:
Despite the adoption of the concept of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) by an increasing national and international organizations, the implementation of the CSA approach remained challenging, in particular due to a lack of tools, internal capacities and experience, when the project was created. To address the need to generate knowledge on CSA, build capacities and strengthen international coordination and collaboration on CSA, the project sought to establish an international partnership, which, in turn, was designed to promote the climate-smart approach for food security and contribute to making the agrifood sector more resilient to the impact of climate change. Specifically, the project was geared towards achieving the following goals: (i) supporting the creation and enlargement of a global alliance that might enhance knowledge, provide policy support, increase investments and financing opportunities, (ii) mobilizing funds and (iii) generating assessments, tools and methodologies that might allow national and local stakeholders to identify and adopt the appropriate farming and breeding systems, practices and technologies that address food security and climate change.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
