Countries should adopt SFA approaches that promote resource efficiency, conserve natural resources and biodiversity and foster resilient livelihoods, shortening the path towards agrifood systems transformation.

These initiatives must be implemented in a cross-sectoral, integrated and participatory manner, while reversing resource degradation, protecting biodiversity, building resilience to shocks and addressing the challenge of climate change.

These actions can contribute to strengthening smallholders’ capacities and providing support to assess and adopt appropriate practices and technologies, as well as fostering innovation while monitoring and evaluating impacts.

These are about raising awareness, promoting dialogues and building multistakeholder platforms at regional and country levels.

Targeting public funds can provide public goods such as knowledge and infrastructure, and unlock the potential of the private sector through de-risking and technical cooperation.
