This fact sheet presents the FISH4ACP programme to bring actors in Zimbabwe's tilapia value chain together with the establishment of a multi-stakeholder to foster a demand-driven aquaculture production system in Zimbabwe attracting investment into sustainable growth of tilapia.

As the gravity of the global social and ecological crises become more apparent, there is a growing recognition of the need for social transformation. In this article, we use a combination of narrative case study and discourse analysis to better understand how transformative concepts, such as agroecology, are shaped as they as they enter mainstream discursive arenas. We probe the different characteristics of the “innovation frame” and how they qualify and give meaning to agroecology.

FAO’s Office of Innovation is working with CIRAD (International Cooperation Centre of Agricultural Research for Development) and other partners on an FAO initiative on foresight on pre-emerging and emerging agrifood technologies and innovations, aligned with UN 2.0 and The Future of Food and Agriculture 2022: engaging all key actors of agrifood innovation systems in the foresight on pre-emerging and emerging technologies and innovations (PETIAS) to better prepare for alternative futures, feeding it into anticipatory action, and convening the global community for constructive multilateral di

The red palm weevil (RPW) is a serious transboundary pest of date palm, coconut, and ornamental palms. It is among the world’s major invasive pests and attacks around 40 palm species in more than 50 countries, causing widespread damage to date palms and other plantations and impacting production, farmers’ livelihoods, and the Near East and North Africa region environment.

This document indicates that sub-Saharan Africa presents investment opportunities for partnering with governments in infrastructure development, including road networks and energy supply systems, which can improve access to remote aquaculture sites and reduce production costs. Partnerships can also be established to build and/or maintain much-needed infrastructure, such as fish processing facilities, cold storage facilities and port facilities, as these facilities can improve efficiency and productivity in aquaculture.

The institutional and policy framework supporting the development of the forestry sector in Cambodia plays a vital role in ensuring a coherent approach to addressing the overarching development goals of the sector, as defined in the National Protected Area Strategic Management Plan 2016-2030, the National Green Growth Roadmap and the National Forestry Programme 2010-2029. In order to achieve these goals, however, more efforts are needed.

The subprogramme aimed to strengthen agrifood systems in East and Southern Africa, focusing on enhancing resilience, sustainability and inclusivity. Designed in response to the challenges facing agrifood systems in the region, including economic, social, environmental and health pressures, the subprogramme sought to address these issues through improved policymaking, stakeholder engagement and capacity building. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need for resilient agrifood systems, reinforcing the importance of this initiative.

Systemic solutions based on science and innovations are critical for advancing more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems. This is relevant in the context of promoting sustainable supply and use of forest ecosystem services through innovations; FAO promotes all key innovations (e.g. technological, social, policy, institutional, and financial). It is crucial for advancing a sustainable bioeconomy.

The project emerged as a practical example of how digital innovation can be an effective tool to tackle poverty and hunger in rural areas. Governments in the region have adopted digital solutions that directly contribute to advancing SDGs 1 and 2. For example, they have created a digital innovations catalogue to identify replicable and scalable solutions that can significantly impact poverty and hunger reduction in the region.
