Yay for diversified food systems! Want to know how you can measure their performance? Check out TAPE (Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation): https://t.co/uqeZup9ZDP

Diversified #FoodSystems enhace resilient livelihoods and promote sustainable production for healthy and nutritious diets, but what integrates a diversified production system?

[Abram Bicksler @AbramBicksler]

Access to and control of land and natural resources are essential for sustainable agriculture. We can also learn much from Common Property Regimes, as I learned during my time in Thailand.

[FAO Livestock @FAOLivestock]

How can we fight food insecurity and malnutrition?

👨🌾👉 Ensuring that small-scale producers and farmers have equal access to, and control over land and natural resources 👈👨🌾

[Abram Bicksler @AbramBicksler]

Animal production and integration is key to sustainable agriculture. Far too often, we only focus on crops, but animals form an integral part of ensuring healthy agroecosystems.

[FAO Livestock @FAOLivestock]

To achieve sustainable #agriculture and #FoodSystems, we have to develop:
✔ Resilient livelihoods
✔ Diversified & integrated production systems

Here what governments, civil society & private sector can do to promote #FoodSecurity and #Nutrition

Happy to share that TAPE is producing evidence on the performance of agroecology and how that evidence can be used to make needed changes to make our food and agricultural systems more sustainable via agroecology

[FAO Livestock @FAOLivestock]

Agroecological approaches for livestock production encompass adaptation and mitigation strategies to help combat climate change.

#TAPE can produce evidence on how #agroecology and livestock positively impact rural households’ resilience.

[FAO Livestock @FAOLivestock]

The decline of #pollinators can mean losing some of the nutritious food we need for a healthy diet. 🍎🥑🥭🧅🍉

Enhancing #pollination isn’t just about mitigating disaster – with improved management, we can also increase agricultural yields and quality.

.@FAO promotes jobs that generate income to local communities, including #women and vulnerable groups. 👩‍👵👩🏾

#Beekeeping and #honey production is one of them 🐝🐝🐝.

[FAO Livestock @FAOLivestock]

🐮 Livestock have a fundamental role in achieving all the dimensions of #sustainability.

💡#TAPE can help to promote sustainable practices for animal production by generating evidence on the role of #livestock in #agroecology.

Very excited to see our TAPE tool gaining traction around the world! Have a look to see how we are adapting to COVID-19 to conduct virtual training workshops on the use of TAPE

[FAO Livestock @FAOLivestock]

.@FAO is piloting the Tool for #Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) in various 🌍 countries to support the transition towards more #sustainablefoodsystems. 🐄🌽🍅🥣

Catch up on what happened at the last workshop held in #Mali & #China.
