Biodiversity is the backbone of resilient farming. In Uganda, farmers use indigenous seeds, beekeeping and agroforestry to protect crops, improve yields and restore ecosystems. FAO is supporting them to scale up these nature-based solutions 🔗 https://bit.ly/4kaKT4a #COP16Resumed

FAO has received $11.9 million in contributions from the Government of Japan to scale up its emergency and resilience activities in humanitarian contexts across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. “We thank the Government of Japan for this timely contribution. This funding is part of Japan's ongoing commitment to address time-critical needs while fostering sustainable and resilient livelihoods in crisis-affected communities”, said Rein Paulsen, Director of the FAO Office of Emergencies and Resilience. “Emergency agricultural assistance provides a lifeline to those most severely affected by conflict, climate crisis and economic downturn. This type of support not only saves lives but also empowers communities with the tools to secure their own futures by breaking the cycle of dependency, revitalizing local markets and promoting lasting recovery,” he added. This funding will support 14 critical projects aimed at tackling urgent humanitarian needs. https://lnkd.in/dejUT4Rk #AgricultureCan #InvestyInHumanity
