Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureAfghanistan: Minimizing secondary impacts of COVID-19 on agricultural livelihoods of food insecure households through Anticipatory Action 2022
Also available in:
No results found.In early 2020, a scenario analysis on the expected secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Afghanistan pointed to a potential disruption of agricultural livelihoods and a further deterioration in food security. Those impacts included restricted or constrained access to markets for agricultural inputs; reduced sales of live animals or livestock by-products; restrictions to transhumance and hence restricted access to fresh pastures for livestock. It was anticipated that households who were already food insecure, or on the border line, could resort to negative coping mechanisms. Thanks to the contribution of the German Federal Foreign Office, the Anticipatory Action window of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA-AA) was activated in June 2020 to protect livelihoods and food security in rural areas. Acting early supported pastoralists and labourers in Afghanistan to mitigate negative secondary consequences of COVID-19 on food security.

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineTraining manual – Good agricultural practices (GAP) guidelines
Volumes 1 and 2
2022Also available in:
Food safety is of immense importance and has been a major concern of the consumers, more than its nutritive value and quality. The global trade in food commodities has further necessitated compliance to food safety, hygiene and environmental sustainability. Food commodities produced through climate-smart ways in terms of compliance to good agricultural and environmentally sustainable standards can enhance produce/product competitiveness in the national and international markets. Moreover, food safety is integral to the food and nutrition security of the local population. Capacity building of relevant stakeholders, including GAPs farmers is imperative for the promotion of GAPs at farmers’ field level. The current training manual comprises of two volumes, volume one presents general GAP guidelines for food safety, product quality, environmental management and workers safety, hygiene and welfare in line with Myanmar and ASEAN GAP key criteria and compliance standards, while volume two focuses on target crops specific Good Agriculture Practices (GAPs) at pre and post-harvest stages including processing, packing/packaging. Additional resources on GAPs standards, especially FAO GAP schemes for fruits and vegetables were also consulted with relevant practices included in the manual.
