Summary

3. 1.
Challenges
and
Opportunities
Food and agricultural
systems are facing an
unprecedented
confluence of challenges

4. 4
need for yield increase in all agricultural sectors
POPULATION INCREASES and requires more and better food,
energy, and other agricultural products

5. 5
- need to improve livelihoods, equity and social well-being
- need for healthy diets
POVERTY, INEQUALITY, HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION
are still higher in rural areas than elsewhere

6. 6
deforestation
NATURAL RESOURCES ARE OVER-EXPLOITED, degraded,
and their productivity declines
- water scarcity and pollution, land degradation, deforestation, biodiversity and
ecosystem services losses
- with above 70% of all water withdrawal, agriculture is also the single most important
cause of the degradation of freshwater ecosystems

7. 7
CLIMATE CHANGE AND INTENSIFICATION OF NATURAL HAZARDS
- the dual pathways of climate change and agriculture

8. 8
AVOID MIGRATION by generating
more income earning opportunities in rural areas

14. THE FIVE PRINCIPLES of sustainable food and agriculture

15. Objective
Facilitate the
transition to
sustainable food
and agriculture at
country-level
Integrated across
sectors & dimensions
Building on existing
mechanisms, projects…
Adaptive
Result-oriented
… A common approach across sectors to reach FAO’s Strategic

23. Investments and financing
Investment in agriculture in low and middle income countries by source, 2005-07 (annual average)

24. Policies and incentives
– regulations
– taxes
– subsidies
– social protection
– payment for conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity (access
and benefit sharing of genetic resources)
– ownership (land, water)
– trade
Governance mechanisms and institutions
– innovative partnerships for inclusive governance

INTERREGIONAL INITIATIVE ON SIDS

27. climate change resilience + disaster risk reduction

28. Disaster Risk Reduction
Food and nutrition levels in the
Caribbean have been greatly affected
by natural disasters
Climate models predict that the
Caribbean will become up to 30% drier
during the wet season
FAO supports the Caribbean
governments in building resilience and
recovery from disasters:
• Early Warning Systems and National
Water Information Systems
• capacity building in Climate Smart
Agriculture

29. Scope of FAO’s Inter-Regional Initiative
1. Family and small-scale farming/fisheries
Strengthening sustainability, resilience and organizational capacity
2. Strengthened market opportunities
Productivity enhancing technologies and value chain development
3. Oceans
Sustainable management of coastal and marine resources
4. Dual burden of malnutrition
Food security and nutrition objectives incorporated in coordinated policy

30. Climate Smart Agriculture - CSA
CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION
Three pillars:
1. Increase, in a sustainable manner, productivity and income growth
in agriculture.
2. Support adaptation across the agricultural sectors to expected
climatic changes and build resilience.
3. Reduce, where possible, the greenhouse gas emission intensity of
production systems.

31. Towards a Caribbean Blue Revolution - aquaponics
Main Findings
• Integration across sectors increases
efficiency (fish and plants in same water)
• Technology transfer alone is not enough,
farmer-to-farmer or participatory methods
are required
• Climate smart and efficient practices must
be incentivized through market
connections
• Risk management against effects of
climate change is obligatory during
planning phase – esp. storms

32. Carbon neutral Brazilian beef
- A brand concept which aims to certify meat production
having their GHG emissions volumes neutralized within the
production system. It is based on integrated silvopastoral
systems (livestock-forest, ILF) or agrosilvopastoral (crop-
livestock-forest, ICLF)

- based on three types of soil cover: management of stubble crops,
shrubs and scattered trees with natural regeneration.
