This video features an interview with Krystal Crumpler, Coordinator of FAO’s IMP-ACT project, which runs from 2025 to 2030. Funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development with EUR 6.5 million, the project aims to enhance climate support in agriculture.
IMP-ACT will assist countries in integrating food and agriculture into their national climate plans, advocate for agriculture's role in climate negotiations, and attract targeted climate finance for agrifood systems. For more details, visit the FAO IMP-ACT page and learn about climate initiatives at FAO Climate Change.
This video showcases how safe fish production begins at the farm, featuring an FAO aquaculture expert and Georgian trout producers. They highlight improved water quality monitoring, biosecurity, and food safety practices that enhance fish health and market competitiveness, supported by the European Union and Sweden.
Farmers utilize field test kits and multi-parameter water quality analyzers to quickly detect harmful bacteria and monitor essential water parameters. With FAO training and matching grants under the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD IV), producers are equipped to ensure clean water and high-quality fish.

Small-scale tuna fishers can enhance their catch quality and market access through seven practical steps introduced in this video. Developed by the Common Oceans Tuna Project, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), these steps focus on careful handling, rapid cooling, and maintaining a cold chain to minimize losses and maximize value.
Collaborating with the International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF), this method has been tested with fishers in Indonesia, Tanzania, and Oman. By implementing these strategies, fishers can improve their livelihoods and promote sustainable tuna fisheries. For more information, read the guide on best practice handling.
Kyrgyzstan is leveraging innovation by combining science, technology, and local knowledge to enhance food production and protect natural resources. Solutions like seed balls for arid areas and artificial glaciers for water storage are empowering communities. Traditional knowledge continues to guide pastoralists, who now integrate modern tools like GPS and drones.
The FAO is also promoting sustainable fish farming and safeguarding Kyrgyzstan's unique walnut forests. These initiatives illustrate how innovation can create resilient food systems while preserving vital resources. This World Food Day, learn how Kyrgyzstan is merging new ideas with traditional practices for a sustainable food future.
