Boosting Food Security and Nutrition through more Sustainable City Region Food Systems - GCP/GLO/509/GER 2019

Also available in:

With over 50 percent of the world’s population living in urban areas – a figure set to rise to 70 percent by 2050 – conventional food production and supply face enormous challenges. The food and nutrition security of poor urban populations remains at risk as a consequence of the lack of economic access to healthy and nutritious food, the volatility and rapid increase in food prices and disruptions to the food supply caused by natural disasters and climate change effects. Ensuring the availability and affordability of sufficient, high-quality, appropriate, safe and healthy food for a growing urban population requires better understanding and planning of the city food system. In this context, there was significant demand for greater understanding and operationalization of the concept of City Region Food Systems, which can form a basis for further planning, informed decision-making and the design of sustainable food policies and strategies that might improve local production and marketing.

Strengthening Policy for Agricultural Development and Food Security - GCP/GLO/543/USA 2021

Project GCP/GLO/543/USA was prepared as a contribution by USAID to the Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) programme, a five-year umbrella programme implemented by FAO and supported by multiple donors with the aim of strengthening evidence-based policy-making in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Its objectives were to achieve the adoption of at least five agricultural policy reforms across countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and to strengthen the national capacity and commitment of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to monitor, analyse, advocate for and reform food and agricultural policies. However, following revisions requested by USAID, the total budget for the project was reduced and the remaining funds were used for two activities, described below.
