FAO implements dozens of different projects in many different areas in Turkey, from irrigation techniques to refugee programs. Sharing the experience in these projects with both our local partners and the community and with our international partners will also be of significant benefit in shaping future projects. In first issue, NL has focused on SRRP and water scarcity projects

“Do Good: Save Food!” is an education package designed for that purpose. This education package is the output of a comprehensive, scientific and inclusive development process that involved the input of both public and private sector stakeholders. It responds to the growing public demand for information on the causes of and solutions to addressing food waste and seeks to engage children in the global endeavour to reduce food waste and alleviate its associated economic, environmental and social impacts.

Following the official launch of the second phase of the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP II) in 2017, and the approval of the projects by the First Steering Committee of the FTPP in November 2018, the programme is gaining momentum with five projects becoming operational in 2020. The first issue of FAO – Turkey Partnership Programmes Newsletter covers the period January – June 2020 and briefly sheds light on FTPP II and FAO – Turkey Forestry Programmes’ projects.
