FAO–China SSC Projects: Transforming SIDS Agrifood Systems & Advancing GIAHS Phase II.
March 26, 2026

For two decades, FAO has leveraged South-South and triangular cooperation (SSTC) to catalyze agricultural development, food security, rural progress, poverty reduction, and nutrition. This key modality drives innovation and preservation within evolving agrifood systems.

Through initiatives like FAO-China South-South Cooperation, proven solutions meet real needs, empowering farmers with climate-smart technologies, strengthening policies, and building resilience via enhanced value chains and blue transformation. Concurrently, GIAHS Phase II safeguards agricultural heritage globally by strengthening governance, knowledge exchange, and national capacities. These efforts collectively transform agrifood systems and protect heritage.
