BookletCorporate general interestPalestine: Inclusive resilience-building investments for vulnerable farmers, herders and fishers in the Gaza Strip
Promoting structural transformation and resilience of the agriculture sector through sustainable energy solutions
2023Also available in:
No results found.This learning brief documents the main lessons drawn from the West Bank and Gaza Strip country investment implemented from 2018 to 2022 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and its partners. It provides an overview of the role of solar energy solutions in promoting structural transformations in the agriculture sector. This learning brief showcases key learning on the programmatic approach supporting the adoption and expansion of solar energy solutions to enhance the food security and livelihoods resilience of vulnerable farming, herding and fishing households in the Gaza Strip. The collaborative and forward-looking approach of this project was achieved by bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders from the local and national levels, and actively fostering ownership from all parties. The project’s approach paved the way to more sustainably tackling the energy crisis in the Gaza Strip and building a resilient and thriving agriculture sector by: • addressing shorter- and longer-term needs and priorities across the sector; and • combining a range of support modalities, from technical assistance for the operationalization of solar energy systems, to policy dialogue for the institutionalization of the technology. -
ProjectFactsheetStrengthening the Capacity and Engagement of Young Somali Professionals in Agriculture and Food Security for National Resilience-Building - TCP/SOM/3802 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Somalia is emerging from decades of conflict and a breakdown of state institutions, including those responsible for leading, coordinating and advancing progress in the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sectors. However, the process of revitalizing institutions is challenged by a lack of qualified and experienced staff in local job markets, as well as recent university graduates who have yet to gain the relevant technical and organizational experience and training required to work in line ministries, or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and United Nations (UN) agencies. Although Somalia’s work force has considerable potential, including individuals from the diaspora, many require proper training and exposure to the agriculture and food security sectors. Such preparation would render them better suited for employment within these sectors, enabling them to make meaningful contributions toward attaining national and rural development objectives. As such, this project aimed to enable and empower young agricultural leaders to help shape and contribute to agricultural development in Somalia. It aimed to recruit 20 university-trained national professionals to participate in a ten-month internship programme for junior technical professionals, in collaboration with relevant authorities.

BookletCorporate general interestAgrifood solutions to climate change
FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
