Guidelines for gender integration in Farmer Field Schools Towards gender transformative programmes
03/2026
Women are central to agrifood systems, yet persistent gender inequalities continue to limit their access to agricultural extension, resources and decision-making. At a time when closing gender gaps could improve food security for 45 million people, these guidelines show how Farmer Field Schools (FFS) can move from gender-blind implementation to gender-transformative impact.

Investing in trade digitalization: the case of ePhyto
03/2025
Global trade in plants and plant products is rapidly expanding – more than doubling in some cases – and set to grow another 11 percent by 2032. Yet, many countries still employ mostly manual rather than electronic means for issuing the phytosanitary certificates required to trade goods internationally. Relying on paper slows applications for and delivery of these certificates.
