No results found.Family farms feed and employ two-thirds of the African population and work 62 percent of the land. Family farmers ensure the future of Africa and are at the heart of food security and sustainable food systems. The review updates the information on the situation of family farming in Kenya, offers a critical look from the perspective of the different actors about the progress and challenges it faces. In particular, it makes an approach to public policies and national action plans in force or in process in the country and the importance of their implementation. In the same way, it places the producer organizations that group the farming families present at the national level, whose objective is the strengthening and resilience of family farming within the framework of sustainable agri-food systems.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

FAO and partners set example for regional collaboration
2019Also available in:
No results found.The FAO-led Integration of Amazon Protected Areas (IAPA) project marks the first time that an EC‑funded intervention in Regional Latin America and the Caribbean has utilized FAO’s Operational Partners Implementation Modality (OPIM). Through OPIM, FAO has been able to make the best use of expertise available on the ground, strengthen national and local ownership of interventions and increase the sustainability of results. Close collaboration on the ground – including numerous in person meetings – between FAO and its Operational Partners - the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) - proved to be a key factor in the success of the project. Early video conferences helped to ensure clarity of both FAO and EC requirements. Site visits from FAO to Operational Partner offices gave the Organization invaluable knowledge of the partners’ accounting systems and controls. All parties were actively contributing to the strategic and operational development of their respective organization’s programmes. Importantly, the lessons learned by Operational Partners throughout this process will continue to benefit their operations in future interactions with the EC and other donors. -
