FAO's TECA Platform releases "Open call for technologies and practices" to support smallholder farmers
FAO’s Technologies and Practices for Small Agricultural Producers (TECA) Platform has released an “Open call for technologies and practices” for submissions on sharing practices and technologies that can help smallholder farmers and producers to overcome current challenges. You are invited to submit practices and technologies that have been successfully implemented on the ground, brought positive results and are easily replicable to similar areas. This will be an opportunity to document your practices in a non-technical language and make them available to farmers worldwide.
Each practice/technology will be recorded in a standard format, using clear language and descriptive visuals to provide detailed specifications for easy implementation. The TECA practices and technologies cover a wide range of regions and countries and are available in different languages (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese) to reach a wider audience. The practice and technologies the calls can include but are not limited to the following themes:
- Agricultural Mechanization;
- Beekeeping;
- Capacity Development;
- Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction;
- Crop Production;
- Fisheries and Aquaculture;
- Forestry
- Livestock Production
- Natural Management
- Nutrition for Better Life;
- Post-Harvest and Marketing.

The deadline is 30 July 2020.
