FAO supports UN OCHA's 87 million lives campaign

Acute hunger threatens 295 million people, with 87 million in extreme conditions. Farmers, herders, and fishers, who feed us, are often the most vulnerable. Saving lives cannot wait.

The FAO, supporting the UN OCHA #87MillionLives campaign, calls on governments and partners to urgently match the crisis's scale. Learn more and act now: https://www.unocha.org/87-million-lives-one-life-time

On the road to COP17: Kaveh Zahedi & Astrid Schomaker on agrifood systems and FAO–CBD collaboratio

FAO and UN Biodiversity are collaborating to help countries meet biodiversity commitments, a topic discussed at recent SBI-6 meetings in Rome, ahead of COP17 in Armenia. An FAO analysis shows biodiversity loss already undermines agrifood systems and food security in many nations, highlighting the critical need to integrate biodiversity into agrifood policies.

Approaching the 2030 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework deadline, progress requires concrete actions. Countries can implement agroforestry, restore degraded lands, and promote sustainable livestock and aquaculture. These efforts simultaneously advance biodiversity, climate resilience, and food security. Success depends on farmers, producers, and consumers. FAO and UN Biodiversity remain committed to supporting countries in translating global commitments into tangible action.

Împreună pentru redresarea sturionilor emblematici din Marea Neagră
