Programmes and projects
FAO’s field-level programmes and projects in many parts of the world promote practices and management strategies that enhance the sustainable use, conservation and restoration of biodiversity in agrifood systems and hence promote the sustainable
supply of food and multiple other goods and services and the livelihood security of millions of small-scale producers.
The Organization draws on multidisciplinary expertise and experience from across the fisheries, aquaculture, forest,
livestock and crop sectors to support countries in their efforts to mainstream biodiversity and implement integrated, landscape and ecosystem approaches. The following information on its programmes, projects, tools and approaches illustrates its work
at the country level.
