How to do note: Integrated homestead food production (IHFP)
noviembre 2015
Integrated homestead food production (IHFP) is considered to be a nutrition-sensitive, pro-poor and women-controlled approach to household food production that includes vegetable and fruit gardens, backyard livestock-raising and small fish ponds. It can enhance poor rural people’s access to a variety of nutritious fresh foods, grown in close proximity to their households and requiring relatively limited human, financial and productive resources. The how to do note provides operational guidance on how to design and implement projects that incorporate IHFP.
Transforming rural areas
noviembre 2015
Today more people live in cities than ever before, but we still depend on rural areas for our food. In the developing world, up to 80 per cent of food is produced on small farms that are usually family-run.

How to do note: Fisheries, Aquaculture and Climate Change
noviembre 2015
Fisheries and aquaculture are important contributors to food security and livelihoods at household, local, national and global levels.

Climate change is compounding these pressures, posing very serious challenges and limiting livelihood opportunities.
