The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) promotes and facilitates the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of their use.
Hand in Hand (HIH) supports the implementation of nationally led, ambitious programmes to accelerate agrifood systems transformations by eradicating poverty (SDG1), ending hunger and malnutrition (SDG2), and reducing inequalities (SDG10).
The subprogramme will develop global products and complement ongoing FFS activities under projects “Building Local Resilience in Syria (BLRS)” (GCP /SYR/030/UK) and “PROMOVE Agribiz” (GCP /MOZ/127/EC) to pilot-test the products before further scaling.
This subprogramme will help the FAO's Digital Villages Initiative (DVI) to expand its reach, consolidating activities in Malawi and Zimbabwe, where it has already started, and initiating activities in Rwanda, a new country where it was not officially previously operating.
This subprogramme will help Governments optimize their limited public expenditures in food and agriculture to accelerate agricultural transformation, with a focus on reducing the cost of healthy diets and increasing people’s incomes, ensuring that healthy diets are affordable to all, while simultaneously increasing agrifood output, creating off-farm jobs in rural areas, and lifting people out of poverty.
This subprogramme follows the Blue Transformation Agenda, builds on previous FAO projects and operationalizes the call for action of the UN Food Systems Summit, which recognized aquatic foods and school meals as priority action areas.
For phase II of the subprogramme on “Scaling up livestock climate action to enhance NDC”, six countries are targeted including two new countries (Bhutan and Lao PDR). In the new countries, policy analysis will inform how sectoral policies directly or indirectly support mitigation and adaptation measures for national climate actions.
The project aims at improving post-harvest management in priority agrifood value chains to reduce food loss and waste while contributing to identify critical loss points and potential solutions in transboundary trade in the context of the AfCFTA.
This project aims to fill a critical gap in the availability of harmonized data on the performance of pastoralism in biodiversity and the role women play into the livestock sector.
