Athènes, symbole de la ville antique européenne. 🇬🇷Les villes ont un aspect forcément tentaculaire depuis l’espace, mais leur développement parfois à vitesse grand V n’a rien d’une fatalité, même à l’heure du changement climatique. Les experts de la @UNFAO (oui, j’apprends beaucoup à leurs côtés à travers ma fonction d’ambassadeur :)) ont lancé l’an dernier l’initiative Villes vertes. Il s’agit d’accompagner les zones urbaines dans leur adaptation au changement climatique et faire en sorte qu’elles ne constituent pas des ogres de consommation énergétique. La solution passe sans surprise par la nature, à condition de suivre la bonne stratégie. 🌴 🌳🌴 🌳 Régulation de la température, filtrage de la pollution, absorption de CO2, augmentation de la biodiversité, apport de nourriture… En plantant les bons arbres aux bons endroits d’une ville, en prenant en compte les spécificités de la région du monde autant que celles du quartier en question, et bien sûr avec l’implication des communautés locales, on multiplie les bénéfices. 💪 #JournéeMondialeDeLaPopulation www.fao.org/green-cities-initiative/fr/
Athens in between the rocks and the sea. Cities seen from space are either grey at day or lit up at night. 55% of the world's population now live in urban areas, but there is no reason why they could not be green! Trees, plants and agriculture can co-exist in cities, on rooftops or in the streets. Often I focus my lens on nature because it is more striking, but cities should not break with the surrounding countryside. The @FAO launched the #GreenCities initiative to encourage large cities to become more sustainable and resilient, and better places to live. It’s all about turning the problem around and making it part of the solution. #WorldPopulationDay LINK

You can tell there’s steep terrain right off the coast, as the light takes sinuous roads up the mountains and hills close to Beirut. As always, life gathers close to coasts ad rivers.

Over 45,000 people fled Guatemala’s civil war in the ‘80s, and found refuge in Mexico.
The village of San Lorenzo in southern Mexico has been home to some 50 refugee families. FAO has been supporting them to find prosperity through farming. The FAO-supported project provided refugees with animals, tools and know-how to: rear chickens, pigs, rabbits, sheep; grow vegetables and fruits; and form farmers’ cooperatives to better plan and sell their products.

Between 3-4 April 2020, FAO distributed seeds and essential farming tools to 500 households Northern Bari Payam in Central Equatoria State.
In South Sudan, due to the COVID19 pandemic movement restrictions, FAO is adapting to the new reality by finding new ways to work in order to distribute seeds to farmers in time for the ongoing planting season. Without these seeds, farming families could face a food crisis within the global health crisis.

06 November 2020 - A young farmer prepares freshly caught fish in Obock, Djibouti. In the country, the Assistance Program for Reducing Vulnerability in Coastal Fishing Areas (PRAREV) aims to support the populations of rural coastal areas affected by climate change to improve their resilience and reduce their vulnerability to these changes and promote co-management of marine resources. The program is financed by IFAD in the form of both a loan to the Government of Djibouti and a grant. FAO is supporting the program by implementing two sub-components: the establishment of a statistical monitoring system; and a resource assessment and the promotion of policy dialogue.

Since 2012, 31 Chinese experts and technicians have been sent to Uganda to provide technical assistance in crop production, aquaculture, horticulture, livestock and agribusiness. The team has successfully transferred 25 new technologies, and introduced 17 new varieties such as hybrid rice, foxtail millet and maize, as well as four pieces of agricultural equipment and tools. The new technologies and varieties introduced are showing quick results with improved food crops and have increased the income of farmers.

In collaboration with UNESCO, FAO established the Pastoralist Livelihood and Education Field Schools (PLEFS) to provide sustainable and high- quality learning opportunities to nomadic pastoralist communities to improve the skills, strategies and education that are essential to to building resilient pastoral livelihoods.
The PLEFS curriculum and programme strategy framework is the first of its kind in South Sudan as it integrates literacy and numeracy training and livelihood support, tailored specifically to the nomadic lifestyle of the pastoralists. As a result, it provides pastoralists with sustainable and high-quality learning opportunities as they move.

The Social Cash Transfer Programme has helped beneficiary households to pay for school feed and they can now afford to buy new uniforms for their children.
The main objective of the Social Cash Transfer (SCT) Programme is to reduce extreme poverty and the intergenerational transfer of poverty. The SCT Programme has been operating in Zambia since 2003 and is implemented by the Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health (MCDMCH). Several positive impacts among beneficiary households include reduced poverty, increased food security, improved child wellbeing, improved living conditions and greater productivity and asset ownership.

While progress has recently been made in reducing unemployment and poverty in Tajikistan, malnutrition is still widespread. Half of all children under the age of five suffer from iodine deficiency, and a quarter suffer from stunting, putting their futures at risk. In addition, obesity and diet-related diseases such as, heart disease and hypertension are rising. In response, the Government has joined the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement, committing to improve nutrition in the country.
With FAO’s technical support, members of the Agency of Statistics in the region of Khatlon were trained in the collection and analysis of WDDS data, and assisted in conducting a local pilot survey. The WDDS, or Women’s Dietary Diversity Score, is a qualitative global nutrition indicator which counts the number of food groups consumed by a person over the 24 hours preceding the test. The objective is to integrate a nutrition element into the annual Household Budget Survey (HBS). Given the response of the training, the Government has decided to integrate the WDDS data into the HBS, and FAO has been asked to assist in training the remaining regions of the country.

FAO Emergency Director Dominique Burgeon meets children displaced by violence at the IDP site in Kalemie, Tanganyika where FAO provides seeds and tools so that displaced families and the local population can grow vegetables. In parallel, the families receive food and nutritional support from WFP so that they don’t go hungry in the short-term.
Conflict-hit areas such as Kasaï and Tanganyika regions have the highest level of hunger.

FAO and the Philippines Department of Agriculture are testing Rice-Duck Systems in the Bicol and CARAGA regions. Integrating ducks into rice fields can eliminate the need for fertilizers (duck manure can serve as fertilizer) and help control pests (by eating enemy insects) and weeds (duck feet movement prevents weed growth).

“The livelihoods of two rural communities living in and around wetlands in Southern Laos depend in part on their ability to adapt to climate change. Wetlands function as a buffer against flooding during the rainy season and a water reserve during the dry season. Recognizing the crucial role women can play in preserving the rich biodiversity and ensuring a sustainable use of the wetlands, FAO’s project Climate Adaptation in Wetlands Areas in Lao PDR will use the findings of a needs assessment conducted in December to develop and apply a gender mainstreaming strategy during the lifetime of the project and promote its replication in other wetlands”.

FAO is working to strengthen the organizational capacities of youth organizations and individual capacities of youth agri-entrepreneurs to engage in responsible investment in agriculture and food systems. This includes the development and application of capacity assessment tools, such as the one that has been applied in four workshops with a total of over 100 participants from Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda. This tools guides stakeholders through a set of questions to assess the existing and needed capacities for youth to implement and benefit from investments.
