Black soldier flies (BSF) provide a practical bioeconomy solution, converting food waste into high-protein livestock feed and organic frass fertilizer. This closes nutrient loops, reduces resource pressure, and minimizes urban waste, making BSF a powerful ally for zero-waste initiatives.
The BioDAF II project, "Circular bioeconomy in Abidjan: From food waste to fork," scales this approach. It transforms urban food waste into agricultural inputs, supports livelihoods, and improves waste management. Learn more about FAO's sustainable bioeconomy efforts here.

For two decades, FAO has leveraged South-South and triangular cooperation (SSTC) to catalyze agricultural development, food security, rural progress, poverty reduction, and nutrition. This key modality drives innovation and preservation within evolving agrifood systems.
Through initiatives like FAO-China South-South Cooperation, proven solutions meet real needs, empowering farmers with climate-smart technologies, strengthening policies, and building resilience via enhanced value chains and blue transformation. Concurrently, GIAHS Phase II safeguards agricultural heritage globally by strengthening governance, knowledge exchange, and national capacities. These efforts collectively transform agrifood systems and protect heritage.

The FAO Liaison Office in Geneva, in collaboration with its Right to Food Team and Office of Emergencies and Resilience (OER), recently hosted a hybrid briefing on the "Right to Food and Localization."
The session underscored that the right to adequate food—safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate—is a fundamental human right. Realizing this demands resilient, inclusive, and locally driven agrifood systems supported by accountable governance, rather than solely emergency aid.
Discussions focused on localization: empowering national and local actors with resources and authority. This approach promotes dignity, equity, and ensures the right to food for all.

"Growing Resilience in Zimbabwe" highlights the transformative impact of the Zimbabwe Emergency Food Programme (ZEFPP). Implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with support from the African Development Bank, the program empowers farmers to revolutionize their livelihoods. Through access to affordable loans, quality seeds, modern equipment, and irrigation schemes, farmers have significantly expanded production, increased yields, and invested in agribusiness ventures.
Farmers are now producing wheat and maize at scale, creating employment and strengthening food security across rural communities. Their stories underscore the power of inclusive agricultural financing and resilience-building. Learn more at FAO.org.
