Reducing food losses for smallholders in food deficit areas: a project by the Rome-based UN agencies

The video presents the main achievements of the UN Rome-based Agencies project ““Mainstreaming food loss reduction initiatives for smallholders in food deficit areas” project, jointly implemented by the Rome-Based UN Agencies (RBA)”, funded by the Swiss Development and Cooperation Agency.

This 6 years project combined pilot activities in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, with research, capacity development, and global knowledge sharing activities. The latter led to the development of a Web-based Community of Practice on Food Loss Reduction hosted by FAO. The overall intent of the project was to promote and diffuse better methodologies and holistic approaches to the reduction of food losses, to improve livelihoods and food and nutrition security in food-deficit areas.
