In The Spotlight
The Forum’s theme focuses on agrifood systems.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) hosted a key event during the 2025 Standing Committee on Finance Forum, marking the start of the action phase for the US$282mn Food Systems Integrated Programme (FSIP)
Held at the FAO headquarters in Rome, this event comes at a critical moment ahead of COP 30 in November, where countries aim to raise US$1.3 trillion in climate finance.
For the first time since its creation at COP 17 in 2011, the Forum’s theme focuses on agrifood systems, with the goal of accelerating climate action and enhancing resilience through sustainable food systems and agriculture finance. This event included high-level discussions and special events aimed at exploring the potential of agrifood systems to provide climate solutions.
The official opening of the first global meeting of the FSIP was marked by a ministerial event, “Unlocking Sustainable Food Systems for Climate, Nature, and Livelihoods.” The FSIP, a flagship initiative led by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in collaboration with FAO and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), aims to channel US$282mn in GEF grants to transform agrifood systems in 32 countries. These transformations will focus on making systems more sustainable, regenerative, nature-positive, resilient, and pollution-reduced.
The Programme’s ambitious objectives include restoring over 870,000 hectares of degraded land, improving agricultural practices across 13.8 million hectares of landscapes, reducing 174 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and improving the livelihoods of 3.4 million people.
QU Dongyu, FAO Director-General stressed the urgency of addressing the climate crisis through more efficient, inclusive, and resilient agrifood systems. He also emphasized that climate finance must be directed to farmers, particularly smallholders, to ensure that the transformation is both equitable and sustainable. “To beat the climate crisis, we need agrifood systems to move faster towards efficiency, inclusivity, resilience, and sustainability,” Qu said.
The event gathered ministers, government representatives, and international partners to discuss how climate finance can unlock opportunities for sustainable agrifood systems. The conversations highlighted the need for integrated solutions that address climate action, biodiversity, food security, and resilient livelihoods.
“This week marks the first time we’ve gathered with participating countries and global partners to share the ambitions of the FSIP,” noted Qu, referring to the programme’s potential to scale its impact both nationally and globally.
In addition to the FSIP meeting, the week also featured other special events, including a gathering of the Food and Agriculture for Sustainable Transformation (FAST) Partnership. This partnership was established during COP 27 in 2022 as a platform for dialogue on climate, agriculture, and finance. A digital exhibit at FAO headquarters highlighted real-world examples of FAO’s work in accelerating climate action through agrifood solutions.FAO will also co-host a side event with Brazil, this year’s COP Presidency, to present the COP30 RAIZ initiative. This initiative aims to boost investment in large-scale agricultural land restoration to support food security, fight climate change, protect biodiversity, and combat desertification.
This training will help improve livestock productivity in Kogi State while ensuring food safety and safeguarding public health.
To address the growing concern of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the Kogi State Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRES) has launched a training programme aimed at educating farmers and stakeholders on the safe use of antibiotics in livestock production
Abdulkabir Otaru, project coordinator, explained that the initiative was designed to equip livestock farmers, veterinarians, doctors, and environmental health professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to adopt safer antibiotic practices.
“This training will help improve livestock productivity in Kogi State while ensuring food safety and safeguarding public health,” Otaru said, emphasising that the initiative would bridge knowledge gaps among farmers regarding antimicrobial drugs and promote best practices to minimise AMR risks.
The project, supported by the World Bank and in collaboration with both federal and state governments, will extend its reach to four additional centres across Kogi State. Each of these centres is expected to train at least 400 participants, with a total of 2,500 farmers set to benefit from the training on AMR prevention and safe livestock production practices.
Otaru also took a moment to acknowledge the continued support of Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo, who has facilitated the project through the release of counterpart funding. He encouraged the media to give the project more visibility, emphasising that its impact goes beyond just improving productivity and profits.
“This project is not only about increasing productivity; it is about saving lives,” Otaru added.
Agu Yakubu from the Animal Health Department of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development also addressed the growing threat of AMR, warning that it is making the treatment of common infections increasingly difficult. He pointed out that overusing antibiotics, poor infection control, improper drug use, and the lack of new drug development were all contributing factors to the rise of resistance.
Yakubu urged the adoption of a "One Health" approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health sectors to fight AMR. He highlighted that by raising awareness and collaborating across sectors, the negative impact of AMR could be mitigated, ensuring that infections remain treatable.
The training programme is expected to enhance food safety, boost livestock resilience, and strengthen Nigeria’s overall capacity to manage AMR risks, aligning with global health standards.
Finger Millet Improve Food Security in Kenya.
Kenya has selected finger millet and amaranth as strategic crops to enhance food diversity and nutrition across the country
This decision is part of a larger initiative aimed at tackling food insecurity and malnutrition while promoting sustainable farming practices. Both crops are known for their nutritional value, resilience, and ability to thrive in Kenya’s diverse and often challenging climates.
Finger millet is a drought-resistant cereal that proves especially valuable in areas with limited rainfall, where many other crops struggle to grow. Rich in essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and fibre, finger millet contributes significantly to the health of local populations, particularly in rural communities. However, despite its health benefits, finger millet has not been widely cultivated in Kenya for many years, primarily due to the dominance of maize and other more conventional crops.
Amaranth, a fast-growing and hardy plant, is another key crop being promoted. Known for its high protein content, amaranth also provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals, including iron and zinc. These nutrients are especially beneficial for the growth and development of children and women. Amaranth can be grown in various soil types and is resilient in dry conditions, making it an excellent crop for Kenya’s varied agricultural zones.
The Kenyan government has recognised the importance of diversifying the country's food production. By encouraging the cultivation of finger millet and amaranth, the government hopes to reduce dependency on a limited range of crops, particularly maize, which is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This shift will help address the widespread issue of malnutrition in many parts of the country by providing more nutrient-dense and diverse food options for local populations.
In addition to their nutritional benefits, finger millet and amaranth hold significant economic potential. Both crops are commercially viable, and their increased cultivation could provide farmers with better income opportunities. Moreover, these crops could stimulate the local agricultural economy by creating markets for value-added products, such as flour, snacks, and other processed goods, which could be sold both domestically and internationally.
Kenya’s focus on finger millet and amaranth represents a comprehensive approach to strengthening food security, promoting healthier diets, and fostering sustainable agricultural practices. Through this strategy, the country is working towards a more resilient and diverse food system, ensuring better nutrition and long-term agricultural stability for the future.
These tiny pests attack the roots of crops causing significant damage to food production.
Monioluwa Omolara Olaniyi, professor and a Nematology expert at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), has highlighted the growing threat plant-parasitic nematodes pose to Nigeria's agricultural sector
These tiny pests, which attack the roots of crops, are causing significant damage to food production and the livelihoods of farmers, though their impact is often underestimated.
Speaking during NOUN’s 36th inaugural lecture in Abuja, Olaniyi explained that nematodes, often hidden beneath the soil, damage crops by stunting their growth and reducing yields. Their presence also weakens plants, making them more susceptible to other diseases. The damage caused by nematodes is often confused with nutrient deficiencies or drought stress, leaving many farmers unaware of the real cause behind their declining harvests.
Olaniyi pointed out that staple crops like vegetables, cereals, legumes, and tubers are particularly vulnerable to nematode infestations. These pests not only diminish crop yields but also threaten Nigeria's overall food security. She also warned that climate change, intensive monocropping, and poor farming practices further exacerbate the problem by providing an ideal environment for nematode populations to flourish.
Drawing on decades of research, Olaniyi presented sustainable solutions for managing nematode infestations. She advocated for proper diagnosis, the use of clean planting materials, and eco-friendly pest control methods that reduce the reliance on harmful pesticides. These approaches not only help maintain environmental health but also contribute to creating more resilient and sustainable food systems, aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Olufemi Peters, Vice-Chancellor of NOUN, praised Olaniyi’s groundbreaking research, recognising its importance in bridging scientific knowledge with practical field applications. He noted that nematology offers valuable solutions to both farmers and policymakers as Nigeria works towards achieving food security and sustainable agricultural practices.
Olaniyi, a former Deputy Vice-Chancellor at NOUN, expressed her ongoing commitment to advancing research in nematology. She also emphasised the importance of mentoring young scientists and integrating traditional knowledge with modern science to strengthen Nigeria's agricultural resilience.
Farming powers the South African economy through job creation, exports, and innovation. (Image credit: ISUZU Motors)
From rugged dirt tracks to remote farmlands, ISUZU has long been part of the rhythm of South African agriculture
Known for durability, reliability, and low total cost of ownership, ISUZU trucks have helped generations of farmers move livestock, harvests, tools, and supplies across some of the country’s most unforgiving terrain. It’s more than just a business relationship — it’s a partnership rooted in shared values, trust, and a deep understanding of the land.
Agriculture is more than a market segment for ISUZU; it’s a core part of their identity. Farming powers the South African economy through job creation, exports, and innovation. ISUZU recognises this and has shaped its approach around one belief — when farmers succeed, the entire country thrives. Their vehicles are built with these realities in mind: strong, economical, and always dependable, especially in the country’s most remote regions.
This commitment stretches beyond the sale. ISUZU offers comprehensive aftersales service, reliable parts availability, roadside support, and a wide network of dealers in farming areas. It’s not just about delivering trucks; it’s about keeping farmers moving — and that means less downtime, less stress, and more productivity.
A clear example of ISUZU’s dedication to agriculture is the JCR 800 Special Edition — the brand’s most affordable 8-tonner, designed specifically for the South African market. “Named in tribute to one of our legendary models, the JCR 800 is a no-nonsense workhorse designed to deliver maximum value and performance where it matters most.” It was developed with local input from engineers and dealers to meet the everyday needs of small to medium-scale farmers. Whether it’s carrying produce, feed, tools, or livestock, the JCR 800 is built to get the job done in the field, on gravel, or out on the open road.
Then there’s the backbone of countless South African farms — ISUZU bakkies. For nearly 50 years, these vehicles have proven themselves reliable, tough, and versatile enough to handle the daily demands of farming. Whether it’s an early morning market run or navigating muddy fields, ISUZU bakkies are built to keep up. Spacious interiors, safety features, and powerful engines make them a trusted companion on any farm, big or small.
ISUZU understands that farming isn’t just a job — it’s a lifestyle. And in that life, every tool, including your vehicle, must earn its place. While cheaper options may seem tempting, the long-term costs of breakdowns, inefficiency, and poor resale value often outweigh the upfront savings.
Precision irrigation is fast becoming a powerful solution.
With rising input costs, limited water availability, and increasing demands on productivity, farmers today are under more pressure than ever
Precision irrigation is fast becoming a powerful solution, enabling growers to use water and nutrients far more efficiently by delivering them directly to the plant's root zone—exactly when and where they’re needed.
According to David Nganga, Technical Advisor for Netafim Southern & East Africa in Zambia, precision irrigation is about “delivering water and nutrients directly to the plant's root zone, in the exact amount and at the right time.” This approach reduces waste and maximises plant growth and yield. Among the available methods, drip irrigation is especially efficient, significantly reducing water loss through evaporation, runoff, and deep percolation. This means more of the water actually benefits the plants, boosting productivity.
A common myth is that drip systems are too complex or only suited for high-value crops. In reality, many farmers who’ve switched to drip find it quite straightforward. The key lies in proper setup and regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters and checking driplines for blockages. When maintained well, these systems run reliably and consistently.
One major benefit of drip irrigation is energy efficiency. Less water is needed, and it can be delivered at lower pressure, cutting down on electricity usage. As Henco Grobler of Senekal Boerdery in South Africa puts it, “Drip irrigation enables economically viable large-scale sugarcane production because of the energy savings involved.” These cost savings are often enough to make large-scale operations profitable where traditional irrigation would be too expensive.
Scalability is another strong advantage of precision irrigation. Whether you're managing a home garden or a large commercial farm, the technology can be adapted to your needs. Marco Appel, Agricultural Economist for Netafim Southern & East Africa, stresses the importance of weighing the full picture: “Farmers and project designers must evaluate factors like installation costs, ongoing maintenance, water and electricity expenses, and labour to determine if precision irrigation is a wise investment.”
Understanding your soil plays a vital role in getting the most from precision systems. Different soil types hold water differently, and even basic hands-on checks—like feeling moisture near the root zone—can help optimise watering schedules.
Choosing the right equipment is essential. Factors such as the type of crop, soil condition, field layout, water source, and even how long the system needs to last should influence your decisions. Options like pressure-compensated drippers or anti-root intrusion features can enhance performance and longevity.
The results are hard to ignore: up to 50% water savings, 30% less fertiliser used, and yield increases of between 30–50%. With better crop uniformity, lower labour demands, and reduced power costs, precision irrigation is paving the way for smarter, more sustainable agriculture.
Over time, it fosters a more observant and efficient farming culture—where growers are more aware of their soil, use inputs more wisely, and reduce waste across the board.
RoboOptimizer enhances poultry processing efficiency. (Image credit: Marel)
Marel has introduced the RoboOptimizer, a cutting-edge automation tool designed to remove the labour-intensive task of loading portion cutters in poultry processing
This intelligent positioning system works seamlessly with the I-Cut 122 portion cutter, forming a fully automated process from the moment singulated fillets are placed on the belt.
By taking full control of positioning and communication with the portion cutter, RoboOptimizer ensures accuracy and consistency throughout the operation. It doesn’t just handle the cutting—it manages the flow of products downstream as well, making it a comprehensive solution for modern processors.
Traditionally, workers have been responsible for placing chicken fillets on belts, a process that directly impacts the quality of the final product. Inconsistent or incorrect placement would often result in lower yields and poor cuts. RoboOptimizer solves this problem by organising the fillets accurately before they reach the portion cutter. Using a rapid gripper system, it can manage up to 120 fillets per minute across dual belts—an efficiency no human operator can match.
“With RoboOptimizer, we really step away from labour. If the products are singulated, portion cutting can now be done without staff. The system will do the job with much more consistency and accuracy than people could ever do. The operator who loads breast caps into the deboning system could potentially be the last person to touch the meat. RoboOptimizer comes as close to a labour-free solution as possible,” says Morten Dalqvist, Marel Product Specialist.
The system features a laser vision scanner that covers an 800 mm-wide conveyor. It measures each fillet’s size and orientation, even distinguishing between left and right fillets—a Marel-patented feature. This distinction is vital to preserve meat fibres and avoid damage during the cutting and tumbling stages.
“Optimising the angle of each individual fillet can give a significantly better yield for strips,” adds Dalqvist. “There are fewer off-cuts because we can optimise the right strip length all the time. Before, we used to cut a fixed trim of a certain size to ensure that the first strip met the requirements. By using the RoboOptimizer, we can reduce this trim to a minimum and still ensure the correct strip length. This eventually increases the overall yield.”
Faulty or misaligned fillets are also filtered out before reaching the cutter, preventing downstream issues. The system then uses strip-optimising software to determine how each fillet should be used—whether for cubes, burgers, or precise strips—maximising both yield and product quality.
Factories relying on manual loading for portion cutting, especially in QSR, food service, or retail production, stand to gain significantly from adopting RoboOptimizer. With full integration for sorting, trimming, and routing, and virtually no labour required, it redefines automation in poultry processing.

The main goal of PigSmart is to strengthen veterinary and extension support by providing farmers with timely.
Uganda is taking a significant step towards digitising its agricultural advisory services with the launch of PigSmart, a mobile messaging platform designed to support smallholder pig farmers
Rolled out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) in September 2025, the initiative is supported by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the CGIAR Initiative on Sustainable Animal Productivity.
The main goal of PigSmart is to strengthen veterinary and extension support by providing farmers with timely, practical information tailored to their needs. The platform uses a combination of voice messages and printed materials to deliver knowledge in a user-friendly and accessible way.
The pilot phase began in late 2024 across four central districts—Mpigi, Masaka, Mukono, and Wakiso. Over 1,200 farmers from 55 farmer groups participated. They received audio skits in Luganda, covering essential pig farming topics such as feeding, breeding, health care, manure management, and coping with heat stress. These messages were reinforced with printed brochures and a comprehensive herd health manual.
An evaluation carried out in November 2024 showed clear results: farmers who used PigSmart demonstrated significantly better understanding and adoption of good farming practices. In fact, the platform became the main source of information for 30–50% of users, even outperforming traditional advice channels such as peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, extension agents, and printed leaflets.
In April 2025, the pilot expanded to Kalangala District, an island in Lake Victoria where fishing has long been the dominant livelihood. As part of a shift towards farming, 12 veterinary extension officers were trained to use PigSmart’s multimedia tools to help islanders make the transition to pig production.
This work led to a broader government initiative in July 2025, where 500 farmers—including 393 women and 107 men—received two piglets each. The aim was to support household incomes and promote food security, building on the practical knowledge shared via the PigSmart platform.
The early success of PigSmart shows strong promise for expanding the service nationally. With digital tools becoming increasingly vital for rural development, Uganda is setting an example of how simple, localised technology can transform agricultural support systems and improve livelihoods.
This training will help improve livestock productivity in Kogi State while ensuring food safety and safeguarding public health.
The project is creating new economic opportunities and empowering local communities.
