FAO AGRIS: Connecting Agricultural Knowledge Worldwide

Every day, agricultural research is produced by universities, repositories and research institutions across the globe. Yet much of this valuable knowledge remains difficult to discover. This video explores how FAO AGRIS helps bridge that gap by connecting more than 16 million research records from over 2,000 data providers in more than 250 languages. Learn how FAO AGRIS increases the visibility of agricultural research, supports open knowledge sharing and helps researchers, students, policymakers and practitioners access trusted scientific information to address global challenges such as food security, climate change and sustainable agriculture.

Приоритеты ФАО в Европе и Центральной Азии (2026–2027 гг.)

www.fao.org/europe/ru В регионе Европы и Центральной Азии ФАО помогает странам строить мир без голода и недоедания, в котором фермеры и сельские общины могут процветать. Опираясь на реальные потребности стран, поддержка ФАО до 2027 года сосредоточивает свою поддержку на трех взаимосвязанных приоритетах: содействии инклюзивной трансформации сельских районов; формировании продовольственной среды и рынков, способствующих здоровому питанию; и улучшении управления природными ресурсами, охраны окружающей среды и повышении устойчивости к изменению климата. Во всех трех направлениях, Организация продвигает практические, масштабируемые и ориентированные на потребности решения, уделяя особое внимание инклюзивности, гендерному равенству, партнерству, инновациям, данным и финансированию.[ Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals

Webinar series on Priorities in Food Safety: Food Safety in Bivalve Molluscs

Bivalve molluscs represent a resource of particular importance due to their economic, nutritional, and social significance for numerous countries in the region. However, because they are filter-feeding organisms, they can accumulate pathogenic microorganisms, chemical contaminants, and marine biotoxins, making it essential to have surveillance, monitoring, and sanitary control systems in place to manage the risks associated with their production and consumption in a timely manner. Therefore, the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean held the webinar “Food Safety in Bivalve Molluscs,” a technical forum aimed at strengthening capacities and exchanging experiences on priority food safety issues in the region. The module addresses the monitoring of marine biotoxins and bivalve mollusc health programs, covering technical tools, risk management approaches, and national experiences related to strengthening control systems.

Can Social Protection Prevent the Next Food Crisis? | Hormuz Crisis 2026 | The Work We Do

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.

Galería del Año Internacional de la Agricultora 2026

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.
