FAO’s Farmer Field Schools (FFS) trained 150 farmers in rural Aleppo, promoting good agricultural and climate-smart practices specifically for olive trees.

This intervention was implemented under the United Nations Joint Programme (UNJP), a collaborative effort of six UN agencies: FAO, UNDP, UNFPA, UN-Habitat, UNICEF, and WFP. The program received support from Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden.
