DIEM-Impact report, February 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture in Lebanon, conducted a household survey between 31 October and 30 November 2023 using computer-assisted telephone interviews. These interviews were part of the FAO Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) System which monitors the impact of shocks on agricultural livelihoods and food security. The survey targeted the agricultural population using the sampling frame of agricultural holdings from the 2010 Lebanon Agricultural Census. Additional survey questions were added to assess the impact of the escalating hostilities in southern Lebanon on farmers’ agricultural livelihoods and food security.FAO established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelinePractical guidelines for Early Warning – Early Action plans on agricultural drought 2020
Also available in:
The impact of drought in agriculture is one of the most complex natural hazards to predict and mitigate. It carries a constant risk for most smallholder farmers around the world. According to studies conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 83 percent of all damages and losses caused globally by drought between 2006 and 2016 have been absorbed by agriculture, putting a good part of the world population at risk of food insecurity. The guide aims to guide governments and other relevant actors in the development of early warning - early actions on agricultural drought plans that must be implemented before a drought event has significant impacts and causes damages and losses that could eventually become a disaster. The manual complements other instruments used at global and local levels to develop EWEA on agricultural and response plans related to drought. -

BookletCorporate general interestGiornata Mondiale dell'Alimentazione: L'acqua è vita, l'acqua ci nutre
Non lasciare nessuno indietro: Fatti coinvolgere! 16 Ottobre 2023
2023Consigli per partecipare rivolti a privati cittadini, governi, imprese, aziende private, scuole, società civile, mondo accademico e molti altri ancora. Non dobbiamo dare per scontato la nostra acqua e dobbiamo iniziare a gestirla in modo oculato. Governi, settore privato, agricoltori, mondo accademico, società civile e singole persone devono collaborare per contribuire alla sicurezza alimentare e delle risorse idriche in tutto il mondo. Tutti possiamo fare la differenza. La #GiornataMondialeAlimentazione (GMA) 2023 punta i riflettori sull’acqua come fondamento della vita e del cibo. La campagna mira a sensibilizzare a livello mondiale l’opinione pubblica sull’importanza della gestione oculata delle risorse idriche: la disponibilità di questa preziosa risorsa è, infatti, minacciata dalla rapida crescita demografica, dall’urbanizzazione, dallo sviluppo economico e dal cambiamento climatico. La GMA 2023 prende anche in esame soluzioni per produrre più cibo e altre materie prime agricole con minori quantità di acqua, garantendo al tempo stesso che questa venga distribuita equamente, che i nostri sistemi alimentari acquatici siano tutelati e che nessuno sia lasciato indietro. -

Book (series)BulletinCrop Prospects and Food Situation
Triannual Global Report, No. 2, July 2024
2024The triannual Crop Prospects and Food Situation report provides a forward-looking analysis of the food situation across the globe, focusing on the cereal production outlook, market situation and food security conditions, with a particular attention on low-income food-deficit countries. FAO assesses that globally 45 countries/territories, including 33 in Africa, nine in Asia, two in Latin America and the Caribbean and one in Europe, are in need of external assistance for food. The severest levels of acute food insecurity are found in territories affected by conflict, including Palestine (Gaza Strip) and the Sudan, where the local population is also facing the risk of famine. Drought conditions in Southern Africa are expected to worsen acute food insecurity conditions in 2024. The report includes the global cereal production forecast for 2024 that scaled up and is now set to exceed the 2023 level.
