Book (series)Rapport de l'atelier sur l'optimisation de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle et des avantages pour les moyens de subsistance de la production de petites espèces pélagiques en Afrique subsaharienne, Accra, Ghana, 5-7 décembre 2023 2025
Also available in:
Basé sur des travaux antérieurs de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) en collaboration avec d'autres organisations et institutions, l'atelier «Optimiser la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle et les avantages pour les moyens de subsistance de la production de petites espèces pélagiques en Afrique subsaharienne» visait à développer une meilleure compréhension des chaînes d'approvisionnement pour les petites espèces pélagiques en Afrique subsaharienne et occidentale. Ce faisant, l'accent a été mis sur la manière dont les ressources halieutiques connexes pourraient contribuer au mieux à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, ainsi qu'aux moyens de subsistance des communautés qui dépendent de la pêche artisanale. L'atelier a été l'occasion d’examiner les bonnes pratiques et les enseignements tirés en matière d’alignement entre l'industrie des produits à base de poisson et les questions de sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle. Il a également identifié les aspects politiques, les recherches futures et les autres actions nécessaires à soutenir une gestion plus efficace des ressources en petits pélagiques. L’atelier a réuni 50 représentants des communautés locales de pêcheurs, des gouvernements, des acteurs du secteur privé, des institutions de recherche et des organisations professionnelles et d'intérêt concernées. Un certain nombre de conclusions ont été tirées et des recommandations ont été formulées sur la manière de préserver la contribution des petits pélagiques à l'alimentation et à la nutrition tout en ayant une industrie de la farine et de l'huile de poisson responsable dans la région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. -
Book (series)Well-being dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa
A spatial perspective across territorial typologies
2025Also available in:
No results found.In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), efforts to track poverty trends and spatially targeted interventions are constrained by a lack of recurrent and sufficiently granular data. In this paper, we address this lack of information by using a new dataset of spatially explicit welfare indicators (developed by Atlas AI) to examine the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of welfare in the region. We also deepen our understanding of these dynamics by examining how variations in market proximity, biophysical and climatic characteristics have influenced welfare dynamics in the SSA region over the last two decades. We find that while continent-wide wealth and per capita expenditures have improved between 2003 and 2021, these trends have been highly concentrated in areas that are more urban, and within populations already at the top of the wealth distribution in 2003. Moreover, we find that there have been significant improvements in welfare for the parts of SSA with the lowest asset endowments at baseline, but limited or no progress in places that were in the middle or the bottom of the baseline expenditure distribution. The analysis shows that welfare progress has been particularly constrained in the tropical lowlands of SSA – where most of the rural population resides – and in desert and arid areas. Worryingly, these are also the agroecological zones that will likely expand as a result of climate change. Finally, rural populations living in areas where there is limited access to markets and biophysical conditions that constrain agricultural diversification potential have experienced virtually no improvement in welfare over the last 20 years. -
Policy briefThe food systems countdown report 2024
Tracking progress and managing interactions
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Food Systems Countdown Initiative aims to monitor the state of food systems transformation through relevant data, independent of any established monitoring processes.Such monitoring can help align decision makers around key priorities, incentivize action, hold stakeholders accountable, sustain commitment by demonstrating progress, and enable course corrections.The Initiative is producing annual publications to measure, assess and track the performance of global food systems toward 2030 and the conclusion of the Sustainable Development Goals.This brief presents the Countdown indicators depicting the current state of national food systems. In doing so, it provides a starting point for future work to identify where things can be done better, provide ideas for how to get there, and inspire stakeholders (in particular, policymakers) that progress can and must be made. -
Book (stand-alone)Overview of food security in Economic Cooperation Organization countries, 2022 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The report delves into the landscape of food security and nutrition across the ECO countries, encompassing Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan, utilizing data available until 2022. It offers insights into the state of agrifood trade within these nations from 2018 to 2021. Furthermore, it investigates the impact of two major factors: the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and the potential ramifications of the war in Ukraine on agrifood trade among these ECO countries. Structured in seven sections, the report commences with an Introduction, followed by Section 2 outlining the methodology for assessing food security and nutrition. Section 3 assesses the current status of food security across ECO countries. Notably, the data in this section does not encompass the effects of the war in Ukraine, which is separately analysed in Section 6. Section 4 emphasizes agrifood trade in ECO countries, while Section 5 analyses macroeconomic developments during COVID-19. -
Booklet高毒危害农药准则
国际农药管理行为守则
2025《高危害农药准则》概要本准则由联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）和世界卫生组织（WHO）联合发布，旨在指导各国有效管理和逐步淘汰高危害农药，减少其对人类健康和环境的风险。• 主要目标：帮助各国识别、评估和管理高危害农药，推动减少依赖高危害农药，优先采用低风险替代方案。• 定义与判定：高危害农药是指根据国际认可的分类系统（如WHO分类系统、GHS）或相关国际公约，被认定为对健康或环境存在高急性或慢性危害的农药。• 风险评估：强调根据暴露场景（职业暴露、环境污染、食品残留等）进行风险评估，特别关注弱势群体（如儿童和孕妇）的健康风险。• 替代方案：推广有害生物综合管理（IPM）、病媒生物综合管理（IVM）以及生态农业和生物农药等低风险防控手段。• 政策与行动：建议各国制定明确的政策框架，逐步淘汰高危害农药，限制特定用途，并加强农药管理体系，确保有效执法与监测。• 多方参与：鼓励政府、私营部门、学术界和非政府组织共同参与，建立信息共享平台，确保透明度和有效合作。本准则为各国提供了系统性的指导，旨在通过科学、政策和实践的结合，减少高危害农药的风险，保护人类健康和生态环境，推动可持续农业发展。
