In Dakar, Senegal, fisheries inspectors take part in practical vessel inspection training, boarding fishing vessels to review documentation, inspect fishing gear and verify catches. Supported by FAO, ICCAT and the GEF-funded Common Oceans Tuna Project, the exercise helps strengthen national capacity to detect illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and prevent illegally caught fish from entering global seafood supply chains. Effective port inspections are one of the most important tools for combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and promoting sustainable fisheries management. Through FAO's Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), countries are improving monitoring, control and surveillance systems, strengthening cooperation among authorities and building the expertise needed to protect marine biodiversity and ensure sustainable tuna fisheries. Learn how hands-on training and international cooperation are helping close ports to illicit fishing worldwide. https://www.fao.org/in-action/commonoceans/en https://www.fao.org/gef/en https://www.fao.org/port-state-measures/en/ Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals

On International Women's Day, 8 March 2026, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations invited women farmers, both from Italy and beyond, to share their experience and knowledge at FAO Headquarters. The International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF 2026) calls for collective action and increased investments to close gender gaps, strengthen women’s livelihoods and promote their leadership across agrifood value chains. Empowered women farmers are key agents of change in transforming agrifood systems. Closing gender gaps in access to and control over land, finance, technology, education and decision-making enhances the well-being of women and their households, boosts productivity, strengthens resilience to climate change and drives progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Bananas are the world’s most exported and consumed fresh fruit, contributing significantly to global trade and food security. To ensure a more just and resilient supply chain, the implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is gaining traction as a key strategy. HRDD provides a structured process for identifying, preventing, mitigating, and accounting for adverse human rights impacts in business operations and supply chains. As regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) take shape, companies in the banana sector – whether smallholders, exporters, importers, or retailers – must understand how to comply with these evolving obligations while also improving business performance. The webinar organized by FAO's World Banana Forum (WBF) explored how integrating child labour and forced labour prevention into HRDD can strengthen decent work and build a more resilient, productive, and sustainable banana industry. By showcasing practical tools, actionable strategies, and real-world case studies, the session provided stakeholders with the knowledge to identify and address the root causes of child and forced labour, strengthen monitoring and remediation systems, and create safer, more inclusive workplaces across the banana supply chain. Organizers: Víctor Prada and Matteo Brizzi El banano es la fruta fresca más exportada y consumida del mundo, lo que contribuye significativamente al comercio mundial y a la seguridad alimentaria. Para garantizar una cadena de suministro más justa y resiliente, la implementación de la Debida Diligencia en Derechos Humanos (HRDD, por sus siglas en inglés) está ganando terreno como estrategia clave. La HRDD proporciona un proceso estructurado para identificar, prevenir, mitigar y contabilizar los impactos adversos sobre los derechos humanos en las operaciones comerciales y las cadenas de suministro. A medida que los marcos regulatorios de la Unión Europea (UE), como la Directiva de Diligencia Debida en materia de Sostenibilidad Corporativa (CSDDD, por sus siglas en inglés) y la Directiva de Presentación de Informes de Sostenibilidad Corporativa (CSRD, por sus siglas en inglés) de la UE, las empresas del sector bananero, ya sean pequeños agricultores, exportadores, importadores o minoristas, deben comprender cómo cumplir con estas obligaciones en evolución y, al mismo tiempo, mejorar el rendimiento empresarial. El webinar organizado por el Foro Mundial Bananero (FMB) de la FAO exploró cómo la integración de la prevención del trabajo infantil y el trabajo forzoso en la DDDH puede fortalecer el trabajo decente y contribuir a construir una industria bananera más resiliente, productiva y sostenible. A través de herramientas prácticas, estrategias concretas y estudios de caso reales, la sesión brindó a las partes interesadas los conocimientos necesarios para identificar y abordar las causas profundas del trabajo infantil y forzoso, fortalecer los sistemas de monitoreo y remediación, y crear entornos de trabajo más seguros e inclusivos en toda la cadena de suministro del banano. 00:00:00 Welcome by the WBF (Victor Prada/ WBF - FAO) 00:01:04 Opening Remarks (Victor Prada / WBF - FAO) 00:07:06 The Legal and Normative Framework: ILO Conventions on Child Labour and Forced Labour (El’vis Beutullayev / ILO) 00:22:32 The Global and Regional Landscape: Child Labour Data, Trends and the Banana Sector (Francesca Pastorelli / FAO) 00:37:25 Root Causes and the Family Farming Nexus (Adela Torres Valoy / COLSIBA) 00:56:20 The Human Rights Due Diligence Framework: Obligations, Tools and Good Practices (Elena Chica Cardona / CLAC) 01:14:23 The Role of Community Engagement as a tool for Child Labour Prevention (Céline da Graça Pires/ Independent Business and Human Rights Expert) 01:32:50 The Role of Social Partners: Trade Unions, Civil Society and Certification Bodies (Marike de Peña / Fairtrade International) 01:51:55 From Commitment to Action: Priorities for the Banana Sector (Angélica Barrera – Evan Cupido / Stronger Together) 02:08:08 Closing Remarks (Victor Prada / WBF - FAO) More information: http://www.fao.org/wbf Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals

Food and agricultural trade increased fivefold between 2000 and 2024, with low- and middle-income countries becoming more integrated into global markets. Yet these markets face growing exposure to shocks, including extreme weather, conflicts, pandemics, macroeconomic pressures and financial crises. The 2026 edition of The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets examines how such shocks affect trade, how disruptions are transmitted through trade linkages, and what this means for global food security. It highlights the need for trade policies that reflect the interdependence of agrifood systems, strengthen resilience and help mitigate the effects of shocks on food markets and food security.

Global food markets are facing increasing pressure from conflict, climate extremes, economic uncertainty, and supply chain disruptions. Yet despite these shocks, global food markets often recover quickly and regain their equilibrium. But the resulting food price spikes can have severe consequences for food security, underscoring the importance of international cooperation. In this episode of The Work We Do, we speak with FAO Senior Economist George Rapsomanikis and Economist Andrea Zimmermann about The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets (SOCO) 2026. They examine how shocks affect food trade and its implications for food security, what makes global markets resilient, and why international cooperation matters more than ever.
