Call for case studies of the use of agricultural biotechnologies to meet the needs of smallholders in developing countries

12 Apr 2022

FAO has just launched an open call for case studies of the use of agricultural biotechnologies to meet the needs of smallholders in developing countries. In 2012, FAO published Biotechnologies at Work for Smallholders, a collection of case studies of the applications of biotechnologies to serve the needs of smallholders in developing countries. To build upon, complement and update this publication, FAO intends to publish a new set of case studies of the applications of agricultural biotechnologies to solve the problems that constrain smallholder production systems in developing countries in the crop, forestry, livestock and fisheries/aquaculture sectors. FAO invites interested practitioners to submit an abstract (maximum 300 words, in English) of a proposed case study to [email protected] by 15 June 2022.
