Il permet de sensibiliser les producteurs aux pratiques agricoles, alimentaires et d’hygiène sensibles à une bonne nutrition. L’appropriation de cet outil de référence par les secteurs cibles est nécessaire pour mettre en œuvre, de manière harmonisée, les séances d’éducation nutritionnelle au sein des communautés. Les modules de nutrition qui sont proposés dans ce guide peuvent s’intégrer dans les différentes plateformes de Champs écoles-producteurs CEP (GIPD, genre, changement climatique, etc.). Ils peuvent aussi être utilisés pour des causeries éducatives sur la nutrition à travers d’autres plates-formes d’échange communautaire. -
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.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
