ProjectFactsheetValidation et dissémination de systèmes integrés d’aquaculture - agriculture (rizipisciculture et autres) à travers l’approche champs-écoles des producteurs - TCP/GBS/3604 2020
Also available in:
No results found.La Guinée-Bissau est l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde. Réduit à une agriculture de subsistance malgré d’importantes ressources naturelles, il n’arrive pas à couvrir les besoins de sa population et se retrouve ainsi dépendant des importations. Des systèmes d’élevage de poisson intégrés à l‘agriculture, notamment à la riziculture, pourraient jouer un rôle important en vue d’atteindre une situation de sécurité alimentaire et de réduire l’exode ruralet la pauvreté. Le projet avait pour objectifs d’accroître et de diversifier durablement la production halieutique et de contribuer à l’amélioration des revenus des communautés des agriculteurs et des pisciculteurs. Pour ce faire, six champs-écoles des producteurs (CEP) devaient être mis en place pour tester différents systèmes intégrés de rizipisciculture et renforcer les capacités des parties prenantes en ce domaine. -
ProjectFactsheetAssistance technique au processus d’institutionnalisation et d’application de la démarche champ école paysan et des techniques d’agriculture de conservation auprès du Ministère de l’agriculture, des ressources naturelles et du développement rural (MARNDR)
TCP/HAI/3603
2020Also available in:
No results found.Le Ministère de l’agriculture des ressources naturelles et du développement rural (MARNDR) a fait depuis 2010 de l’approche Champs écoles paysans (CEP) la démarche privilégiée de vulgarisation agricole pour les dix années à venir. Inscrite dans tous les documents de politique et de programmation du MARNDR, celle-ci peine toutefois à s’imposer dans le milieu rural. La faiblesse observée dans l’appropriation de l’approche par les structures techniques du Ministère ralentit le processus d’institutionnalisation et fragilise sa pérennisation. L’assistance de la FAO visait donc à appuyer le Gouvernement pour parvenir à une institutionnalisation des CEP, à leur intégration avec les techniques de l´Agriculture de conservation (AC) et à une harmonisation de la méthodologie adoptée. -
ProjectFactsheetValidation and Dissemination of Integrated Fish-Rice Systems through the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) Approach - TCP/SFE/3804 2024
Also available in:
Agriculture is the engine of growth and economic development of Burundi, Ethiopia and Rwanda. In a region where smallholder agriculture is dominant and rural households depend on it for their livelihoods, the adoption of agricultural technologies and better practices are key to align the agricultural production systems with conserving natural resources and mitigating the effects of climate change. In all three countries, rice consumption, and therefore, its production have increased over the past ten years.In Burundi, rice cultivation is of great interest to the population, who seek food security and self-sufficiency. Regarding fish, the unrestricted fishing system and the inappropriate fisheries management measures are the main factors causing overexploitation and reduction of the catches.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood 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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Policy briefPolicy briefOutcomes and lessons learned from the Koronivia UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture and food security, and the way forward after COP 27
Brief note
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) was established at COP23 to address six topics in the agricultural sector's role in climate change. KJWA has contributed to sharing scientific and technical knowledge, but limitations remain in translating outcomes into concrete climate actions. The new four-year joint work on the implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security, which prioritizes ending hunger and considers national circumstances, includes the creation of an online portal for sharing information. The four-year agenda is shaped and broadened through the submission of views by parties, observers, and civil society and will be considered by SBSTA and SBI in June 2023.
