The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) and the e-Agriculture Community of Practice (COP) are launching a call for good and promising practices on the use of ICTs for Agriculture.
The call aims at collecting lessons learned and recommendations of
ICT for agriculture initiatives around the world and sharing them among
the members and followers of the e-Agriculture Community of Practice and
beyond.
The selected good and promising practices will be disseminated on the
e-Agriculture platform and social media and will be part of an online
FAO publication “Good Practices on the use of ICTs for Agriculture”.
A webinar on the topic of experience capitalization
and good practices in ICTs in agriculture will be organized to provide
the members of the COP and other interested participants with the
necessary tools and methodology.
The webinar will be delivered in three languages (English/Spanish/French). Participants will have the opportunity to request methodological support from FAO and CTA via a dedicated forum page or via email (info@e-agriculture.org)

Food safety and trade should improve nutrition and boost development – UN agencies
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreed to strengthen their cooperation to promote international food trade and safety in ways that improve nutrition and allow small-scale producers to have better access to international agricultural markets.
“We look forward to ensuring fair trade of agricultural and food products through this stronger (FAO-WTO) cooperation,” FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva said in remarks at an event at the agency’s headquarters in Rome.
“On the one hand trade is likely to play an increasing role in meeting the growing demand from food-deficit countries. On the other hand, greater trade openness may undermine the capacity of local people to produce their own food,” he added.
