The need to urgently transition food systems to net-zero, nature-positive that can nourish all people, leaving no one behind is more critical than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic has furthered deepened complex challenges we already face from hunger and nutrition, climate and nature, and societal inequity. Innovation offers a profound opportunity to achieve these transitions and help unlock challenges across food systems.
Le présent document expose les principaux domaines d’intervention qui ont été désignés comme éléments essentiels de la stratégie de la FAO destinée à renforcer les systèmes d’innovation agricole (SIA) à divers niveaux (recherche et vulgarisation, agroécologie, emplois verts, mobilisation de ressources, etc.) pour parvenir à un développement rural durable.
TAP and its partners carried out regional surveys in Asia, Africa and Central America to assess priorities, capacities and needs in national agricultural innovation systems. This document provides a Regional synthesis report on capacity needs assessment for agricultural innovation in Africa. FARA was selected as Recipient Organization by FAO to facilitate TAP implementation in Africa. This is mainly due to its position as the umbrella organization bringing together and forming coalitions of major regional stakeholders in agricultural research and development.
