India's camel population faces a sharp decline due to reduced breeding, habitat loss, and socio-economic shifts. However, Sarhad Dairy in Gujarat's Kutch region is spearheading a revival. By establishing a market for camel milk and a cooperative for aggregation, they are creating a sustainable solution.

The Government of India supports this initiative, promoting camel milk to help revive the declining camel population. The FAO assists by replicating this successful model in other parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan.

The FAO's Regional Representative presented the organization's vision for the UN-declared International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026. This initiative aims to recognize women's vital contribution to agrifood systems and end persistent inequalities in their access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making. The Year 2026 calls for collective action to boost investments, strengthen rural women's livelihoods, and promote their leadership.

Empowered women are crucial for transforming agrifood systems. Closing gender gaps improves well-being, boosts productivity, strengthens climate resilience, and accelerates progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

Join our live, hybrid Opening Ceremony and Ministerial segment.

This event will explore innovative strategies for scaling smart farming systems, specifically focusing on empowering women and youth within the agricultural sector.

Smart farming systems are revolutionizing agrifood by integrating sustainable practices with data, AI, IoT, and precision agriculture. This enhances farm management, productivity, and resource optimization (water, fertilizers, pesticides, energy), while strengthening soil and ecosystem health. It fosters efficient, resilient, and resource-smart agriculture, boosting productivity and reducing environmental impact.

Beyond environmental benefits, smart farming creates new opportunities for youth and women's entrepreneurship, strengthens digital skills, and accelerates scalable solutions, significantly improving livelihoods for small-scale farmers. Learn more: Global Conference on Smart Farming.

On International Parliamentarism Day, FAO's Rene Orellana Halkyer reaffirmed the organization's commitment to strengthening parliamentary efforts for a world without hunger. FAO believes parliaments are vital for building efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems. When the right to food becomes law, it establishes state policies benefiting current and future generations.

For over fifteen years, FAO has supported the Parliamentary Front Against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean, a network of 25 parliaments that has driven over a hundred food security laws. This initiative expanded in 2024 with the Ibero-American and Caribbean Parliamentary Alliance for Food Security, uniting parliamentary networks from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal, with FAO as its Technical Secretariat. The "Food First Pact" further consolidates this legislative agenda, aiming for the III World Parliamentary Summit Against Hunger.

On the International Day of Parliamentarism, FAO's Lauren Phillips emphasizes the vital role parliamentarians play in achieving global food security and nutrition. They are crucial for shaping laws, policies, and budgets, effectively translating international commitments into tangible progress on the ground.

Through global partnerships, FAO actively supports legislative action, ensuring worldwide pledges lead to concrete results. These efforts will culminate in the Third Global Parliamentary Summit against Hunger and Malnutrition, scheduled for November 2026.

Bees and other pollinators are crucial for food security, biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture. Beekeeping has supported communities for millennia, creating opportunities and building resilience. However, pollinators now face growing threats from climate change, biodiversity loss, and land-use change.

Protecting these vital creatures safeguards food production and ensures a sustainable future for all. Let's "Bee together for people and the planet."

This video tutorial introduces the FAO’s Land Characterization System (LCHS) software, an ISO-compliant tool for creating and managing land cover legends using Land Cover Meta Language (LCML). It demonstrates preparing LCML-based legends through two detailed examples: creating a class for broad-leaved deciduous natural trees and adding a class for apple orchards via the legend wizard.

Both examples cover setting properties, validating classes, and exporting completed legends in various file formats. Subscribe to FAO's YouTube channel for more content.

Valuable agricultural research produced globally often remains difficult to discover. FAO AGRIS addresses this by connecting over 16 million research records from more than 2,000 data providers in over 250 languages.

AGRIS significantly increases the visibility of agricultural knowledge, supports open sharing, and provides researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners with trusted scientific information. This access is vital for tackling global challenges such as food security, climate change, and sustainable agriculture.

The FAO supports countries in Europe and Central Asia in building a region free from hunger, where farmers and rural communities thrive. Until 2027, FAO's assistance focuses on three interconnected priorities: fostering inclusive rural transformation; creating food environments and markets that promote healthy diets; and improving natural resource management, environmental protection, and climate resilience.

Across these areas, FAO promotes practical, scalable, and needs-driven solutions, emphasizing inclusivity, gender equality, partnerships, innovation, data, and financing.

Bivalve molluscs are vital due to their economic, nutritional, and social significance. However, as filter-feeding organisms, they can accumulate pathogenic microorganisms, chemical contaminants, and marine biotoxins. This necessitates robust surveillance, monitoring, and sanitary control systems to manage risks associated with their production and consumption.

To address these challenges, the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean hosted the webinar “Food Safety in Bivalve Molluscs.” This technical forum strengthened regional capacities and facilitated experience exchange on critical food safety issues, covering marine biotoxin monitoring, mollusc health programs, technical tools, and risk management approaches.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is disrupting global energy and fertilizer markets, posing severe risks for millions living in extreme poverty. Ben Davis and Marco Knowles from FAO advocate for social protection as a more effective response than costly government subsidies.

They challenge the notion that cash transfers are mere handouts, presenting rigorous evidence that rural households productively invest them in agriculture, education, and local economies. Targeted social assistance, they argue, outperforms subsidies in both efficiency and reach. For further details, consult the policy brief: The role of social protection in addressing the impacts of the 2026 conflict in the Middle East, and the full transcript: Transcript.

Las mujeres representan el 36% de la fuerza laboral agroalimentaria en América Latina y el Caribe, pero enfrentan barreras significativas para acceder a recursos productivos, servicios y espacios de toma de decisiones.

En el marco del Año Internacional de la Agricultora 2026, la FAO inauguró una galería en su Oficina Regional. Esta exposición, a través de fotografías, datos y buenas prácticas, destaca el rol fundamental de las mujeres en la construcción de sistemas agroalimentarios más inclusivos, resilientes y sostenibles.

The FAO, supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) under the Building Local Resilience in Syria (BLRS) program, promotes micro rainwater harvesting techniques. This initiative enhances farmers' resilience to water scarcity and climate variability.
