ACES: Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions

Under the ACES initiative, FAO and the EBRD are pursuing an integrated approach to help reduce GHG emissions in the agrifood sector by (i) translating Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) commitments into investment-ready roadmaps that identify priority mitigation and resilience opportunities, (ii) developing robust insetting frameworks to enable credible accounting, certification and reduction of supply-chain emissions across agribusiness value chains, and (iii) unlocking carbon market mechanisms to monetize verified emission reductions and mobilize investment for scalable decarbonization through carbon credit generation and trading.

ACES: Sustainable grains and oilseeds

Under the ACES initiative, FAO and the EBRD are working to deepen understanding of the key environmental and climate challenges facing the global grains and oilseeds value chain, and to use these insights to help private sector companies, including current and prospective EBRD clients, identify key sustainability risks and opportunities and strengthen their approach to addressing them.

Developing NDC roadmaps for climate-smart agrifood systems

Serbia and Uzbekistan are stepping up action to meet global climate change agreements including in their agrifood sectors through decarbonization, adaptation to future climate scenarios and through greater private sector investment and engagement.

Containing the risks of African swine fever in south-eastern Europe

Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine are working to manage the risks of transboundary animal diseases which devastate wild and domestic animal populations threatening the food security and livelihoods of millions of people.

Defining the path towards climate-efficient agrifood system infrastructure

This EBRD and FAO project focuses on the need for a new generation of infrastructure to serve agrifood systems that supports progress towards improved economic and financial efficiency, climate resilience, lower stress on natural resources and reduced emissions over their lifecycle.

A fresh approach to diversifying agrifood exports in the Western Balkans

Working closely with public and private sector partners in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine are building on their long-established export markets for grains and cereals by offering an extra serving of fresh fruit, with a side order of honey and wine.

Raising the stakes for quality standards in Montenegro and Serbia

Montenegro and Serbia are improving quality standards and labelling for a range of quality products that will promote sustainable agrifood value chains, increase market competitiveness and tap into tourism markets.

Building back shorter in value chains

Disruptions during COVID-19 highlighted the urgent need to build resilience in food supply chains. Short value chains can reduce risks, boost smallholder incomes, and meet consumer demand for locally sourced fresh quality produce.

Putting agricultural resilience into Serbia’s irrigation pipelines

The EBRD and FAO are working with the government in Serbia to enhance and upgrade the country’s irrigation systems as part of efforts to protect and increase its agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability and climate change resilience.
