The FAO's TeleFood campaign has generated over US$ 20 million in donations and some of these funds have been used to support youth projects. The TeleFood Special Fund finances grassroot-level micro projects that help small-scale farmers produce more food and generate cash income, for better access to food. Project categories range from crop production to fish and animal production, including support to school garden initiatives and apiculture. The budget of each project does not exceed $10 000 and a duration of 12 months. Telefood projects are proposed by FAO member governments and approved by FAO’s technical experts. Although small in scale and cost, TeleFood projects have been making the difference in the lives of small-scale farming communities.
