Stratégie de la FAO en matière de science et d’innovation
10/2022
La Stratégie vise à renforcer les travaux de la FAO en matière de science et d’innovation en fournissant des orientations et en apportant cohérence et harmonisation à l’échelle de l’Organisation dans le domaine de la science et de l’innovation. La science et l’innovation, qui constituent le fondement du Cadre stratégique 2022-2031 de la FAO, revêtent un caractère intersectoriel et présentent un intérêt pour l’ensemble du programme de travail de l’Organisation.

Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
07/2024
Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2).

Towards digital inclusion in rural transformation
05/2024
The rapid and ongoing digital transformation of government, economic, and social sectors holds immense potential to improve outcomes across the SDGs for smallholder farmers and rural communities more generally. However, it is also widely recognized that digitalization alone does not guarantee inclusion. Rural residents and marginalized groups have the most to gain from digitalization but are also the most at risk of falling further behind due to digital divides.

Integrated services for innovation and agrifood systems
02/2024
Rural producers frequently handle many products such as different varieties of crops, livestock and/or fisheries, and have little access to integrated services for innovation (ISI). They are a part of complex and dynamic agrifood systems, but often remain marginalized within these systems, having no power to voice their demands and truly benefit from them.
