SDG Agrifood Accelerator Programme: Gorilla Conservation Coffee

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:41:54 +0000

⁣The FAO SDG Agrifood Accelerator Programme supported innovative startups working to transform agrifood systems in ways that protect the environment and improve the lives of marginalized community members. The Programme offered tailored mentoring, tools to measure and amplify impact and small grants, to help enterprises scale their solutions and enhance their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. One such example is Gorilla Conservation Coffee in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where poverty and unsustainable farming practices have threatened local wildlife. The enterprise prioritizes the prosperity of smallholder coffee farmers while contributing to conservation efforts in the biodiversity-rich region.

The FAO SDG Agrifood Accelerator Programme supported innovative startups working to transform agrifood systems in ways that protect the environment and improve the lives of marginalized community members. The Programme offered tailored mentoring, tools to measure and amplify impact and small grants, to help enterprises scale their solutions and enhance their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. In Northern Ghana, for example, where challenges of food insecurity and land degradation intersect with climate vulnerability, the Programme supported AMAATI’s efforts to restore degraded land and boost climate resilience through the cultivation of fonio, creating sustainable livelihoods opportunities for women farmers.

Strengthening Safety Nets and Food Security in Conflict-Affected Northeast Nigeria

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:24:05 +0000

⁣

Launched in 2023, the project, "Improving Protection and Safeguards of the Most Vulnerable Conflict-Affected Households and Strengthening Food Security Analysis and Coordination in Northeast Nigeria," has enhanced resilience and sustainability for vulnerable communities in the region. Through interventions in crop production, Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE), and the Food Security Sector (FSS), the initiative has strengthened livelihoods and improved food security for those most affected by conflict. Conflict and climate change have driven severe food insecurity in Northeast Nigeria. Many in the BAY states face worsening hunger. With the support of the EU Humanitarian Aid, FAO is enhancing energy access and boosting food security for vulnerable households. Follow FAO on social media!

Food Security and Forests: Improving food security and nutrition in Lileko along the Congo River

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 00:16:59 +0000

⁣Malnutrition is prevalent in much of the Congo Basin. Micronutrient deficiencies are especially problematic for women and young children and can lead to impaired immunity, increased mortality and morbidity, as well as impaired physical growth and cognitive development in children. Developing successful strategies to appropriately combat malnutrition requires a contextualized understanding of how the main drivers of malnutrition – diets and infection – interact to contribute to poor nutrition outcomes. Through the project Governing Multifunctional Landscapes (GML) in Sub-Saharan Africa funded by the European Union, CIFOR is working in the East Region of Cameroon and the Tshopo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo to identify opportunities to enhance nutritional security by sustainably utilizing local forest foods rich in commonly limited micronutrients, and improving local practices related to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and breastfeeding. These experiences will contribute to designing appropriate interventions to reduce malnutrition in the region. GML webpage - https://www.cifor.org/gml

Tanzania: Mainstreaming women's empowerment and nutrition (WEN) in the 50x2030 Initiative

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 03:37:12 +0000

⁣The 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap aims to support agricultural data collection, processing, and dissemination efforts of National Statistical Offices and Ministries of Agriculture. The Initiative responds to the demand for more and higher quality agricultural data, in view of fostering evidence-based decision-making of national Governments and countries’ ability to monitor the Sustainable Development Goal indicators, particularly those related to agriculture. FAO, as implementing partner of the Initiative, provides technical assistance to countries and builds statistical capacities along the whole data production process, to promote the development of sustainable national survey systems. This video shows the process and impact of the integration of the WEN module - a component aimed at measuring women’s empowerment and nutrition - during the data collection activities in Zanzibar, Tanzania – one out of three countries where WEN is being implemented.

Innovation in governance to transform agrifood systems

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 03:28:45 +0000

⁣

Transforming agrifood systems depends crucially on how people can promote and benefit from innovation in governance. Fresh ways to look at policy dialogues and decision-making processes can help societies to rapidly face interconnected challenges such as food insecurity and malnutrition, conflicts and the climate crisis. FAO promotes governance innovation to support countries in adopting the best tailored strategies to pursue a sustainable, efficient, inclusive and resilient agrifood systems transformation. - In Indonesia, FAO has helped the government rethink their national strategic planning by using an innovative analysis and modelling and supporting continuous consultation of actors at national and decentralized level. - In Uganda, FAO has helped consolidate institutional coordination among stakeholders. This resulted in the creation of the National Food Systems Coordination Committee (NFSCC), led by the Office of the Prime Minister, with the participation of a wide range of actors
