Funded by the Global Environment Facility and led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), FARM+ is the second phase of the Financing Agrochemical Reduction and Management (FARM) program and will be implemented by the African Development Bank Group, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, UNDP, UN Environment Programme, and the UN Industrial Development Organization in very close coordination with FARM, which is led by UNEP and the Global Green Knowledge Platform (GGKP).
The program aims to support countries in transitioning from unsustainable agricultural practices to sustainable and climate resilient agricultural practices in a manner that protects, regenerates, and improves productive landscapes and soil health and reduces soil and water pollution as measures for adaptation through nature-based solutions and access to adaptation support.
FARM+ will partner with the governments and agricultural stakeholders of Benin, Costa Rica, Egypt, The Gambia, Ghana, Mauritius, Mexico, Nepal, and Nigeria on:
- Improving policies and regulations
- Increasing access to financing and investment
- Providing technical assistance and introducing alternatives
- Improving agricultural supply chains
- Supporting global knowledge disseminated and exchange
