FIDAC: mécanisme national renforcé pour la résilience agricole face au climat

Tunisian farmers face significant annual losses from increasing climate hazards. To address this, the FAO, under the National Adaptation Plan (PNA), is bolstering Tunisia's FIDAC fund. This vital national mechanism compensates farmers for natural disaster damages and builds resilience.

To ensure transparency and efficiency, regional committees received comprehensive training. This enhanced their skills in damage assessment and farmer support, enabling fair and reliable compensation. The strengthened FIDAC now better protects Tunisian farmers from the growing impacts of climate change.

The Work We Do Special: Global Agrifood Implications of the 2026 Conflict in the Middle East

The Middle East poses increasing risks to global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, are already elevating energy and agricultural input costs worldwide. These shocks quickly spread through food production, with potential shifts towards biofuel further increasing food price volatility. Import-dependent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, are particularly vulnerable.

To stabilize supply chains in the short term, measures include diversifying trade routes, strengthening market monitoring, supporting farmers, and providing targeted assistance to vulnerable nations. Diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain crucial for protecting global energy markets and food security.
