Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureBuilding Resilient Agricultural Systems through Farmer Field Schools
Integrated Production and Pest Management Programme
2015Also available in:
Since 2001, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has worked with more than 180 000 farmers in West Africa to build more productive and resilient agricultural systems through the Integrated Production and Pest Management Programme (IPPM). Based on a well-tested farmer field school (FFS) approach, this participatory, community-based educational method combines principles and practices from community development, non-formal education, agroecology and adaptive ecosystem management. -

Also available in:
No results found.Since 2019, Uganda’s Karamoja subregion has suffered from progressive food insecurity as a result of below-average crop and livestock production due to erratic weather conditions, plant pests and animal diseases, and price shocks. In October 2022, information and surveillance reports indicated a suspected outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), one of the most threatening diseases for livestock in Uganda due to its high socio-economic impact, the complexity in its control and its rapid spread. Thanks to the German Federal Foreign Office’s contribution to the SFERA – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will provide vaccination and prophylactic treatment to livestock belonging to over 27 200 pastoral households in Karamoja. This will protect their livelihoods as they depend on livestock as a critical source of income and to meet their nutritional needs, reducing poverty and building resilience against future shocks. -

2025Also available in:
No results found.This document, Part 5: Farmer Field School data recording and governance, is a key component of the standardized curriculum package for the Climate-Smart Farmer Field School (CS-FFS) initiative in Jordan. This part specifically delves into the critical role of data in ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of the CS-FFS programme. Recognizing that data serves as the backbone of informed decision-making, programme monitoring, and evaluation, Part 5 provides a comprehensive framework for data recording and governance. This framework encompasses a detailed set of guidelines, policies, and mechanisms designed to manage the entire data lifecycle within the CS-FFS programme. It meticulously outlines standards for data collection, ensuring accuracy and relevance, while also emphasizing secure storage and responsible sharing practices. By promoting ethical data use and maintaining data integrity, the programme aims to build trust among participants and stakeholders. The importance of this module lies in its capacity to strengthen the CS-FFS programme on multiple fronts. By promoting meticulous data recording and adherence to robust governance principles, it contributes to enhanced programme effectiveness, allowing for more efficient field implementation and informed programme management. Furthermore, it fosters a culture of accountability and transparency, ensuring that programme resources are utilized responsibly, and that progress can be tracked effectively. This part also facilitates a continuous learning cycle, enabling ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation of the CS-FFS programme to the evolving needs of farmers and the dynamic challenges posed by climate change. In essence, Part 5 serves as an indispensable guide for all practitioners, facilitators, and supervisors engaged in the CS-FFS programme. It equips them with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively manage data, ensuring its quality, security, and ethical use. By promoting data literacy and responsible data practices, this module contributes significantly to the programme's overarching goal of fostering climate-resilient sustainable development in Jordan, empowering vulnerable communities to adapt to climate change and build more secure livelihoods.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
