In response to the pressing need for innovative solutions to address food security challenges, IFAD, FAO and the Islamic Development Bank mapped 10 countries where smallholder farmers face different challenges.
The mapping focuses on six areas critical to improving food security:
- postharvest, reducing food loss and waste;
- water management and water saving technologies in face of climate change;
- sustainable pest control and crop management;
- e-commerce and market access;
- fintech; and
- green energy for farmers agribusiness operations.
By identifying and cataloguing climate-smart agricultural solutions, the project aims to improve both productivity and resilience, ensuring that the technologies are adaptable across diverse farming contexts.
