Food Security
Afghan farmers struggle with market access, limiting productivity. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), supported by the World Bank, is strengthening agricultural value chains by improving input access and linking farmers to markets.
This approach is exemplified in Kapisa province, where an Afghan woman entrepreneur, Mahmooda, leads a local seed and soybean processing company. Awarded a World Bank grant, her business expands production, creates jobs, and improves market access, fostering private sector-led growth in Afghanistan's agrifood sector.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious, economically significant transboundary animal disease, impacting food security, livelihoods, and trade. Recent SAT1 spread to Europe and Asia, and an upsurge of multiple serotypes in southern Africa, highlight the urgent need for global coordination and national actions.
This webinar will overview the global FMD situation, covering epidemiological trends, risk pathways, and how countries can enhance risk monitoring, outbreak investigation, surveillance, and response.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Veterinary Association (WVA), and African Veterinary Technicians Association (AVTA) host a webinar on strengthening collaboration between veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals (VPPs) in Nigeria, Uganda, and South Africa. It shares results from FAO’s Empowering Veterinary Paraprofessional Entrepreneurs project.
Vets and VPPs have complementary roles. Stronger collaboration improves service coordination, expands access for livestock farmers, and enhances disease prevention, surveillance, and response. This builds resilient animal health systems, sustainable livestock production, improved livelihoods, and food security.
