This publication outlines key features of South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) and how FAO has applied SSTC to the delivery of its mission. The case studies presented provide a window on how SSTC has contributed to alleviating hunger and malnutrition in countries across the global South and has helped build resilience in the face of climate change and other development challenges. The lessons learned from these experiences are feeding into the new FAO SSTC Guidelines for Action (2022–2025) and will guide FAO's future results-based SSTC programmes.

The importance of South countries in global agrifood markets and trade has been increasing over the last two decades, with growth in their participation, as both exporters and importers, having outpaced that of North countries. South countries, as a group, are net exporters of fruits, vegetables, fats and oils, and tropical products such as coffee, tea, cocoa and sugar, and net importers of key food commodities such as cereals, meat and dairy products. These patterns reflect structural changes along the development path. Agricultural productivity growth has fuelled expansion in the production of some products, while population growth and urbanization, rapid economic growth and...

In 2008, due to the growing interest of other developing countries in learning about successful Brazilian policies in the area of food and nutrition security (FNS) and agriculture, the Brazilian Government initiated a partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to share Brazil's experience through South-South cooperation, based on FAO's comparative advantages.
