    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations conducted an assessment of household food security and agricultural livelihoods in Ukraine. The overall objective of the assessment was to provide an overview of the food security and livelihoods situation in government controlled areas of Ukraine to inform evidence-based decision making. A total of 4 764 households were successfully interviewed by phone across all government controlled areas of Ukraine in December 2023. The findings highlight the link between household-level agricultural activity, shocks and food security. Small-scale agriculture emerged as a key factor in supporting household food security, however small producers in Ukraine continue to face many challenges related to the ongoing war. Protecting and supporting agricultural livelihoods is essential, as small-scale agricultural activities in Ukraine – particularly for subsistence – can be a pathway to better food security and strengthened resilience at household level.

    Lebanon: Impact assessment of the escalating hostilities in southern Lebanon on agriculture, food security and livelihoods
    DIEM-Impact report, February 2024
    2024

    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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    La Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2023
    Pour une transformation des systèmes agroalimentaires: connaître le coût véritable des aliments
    2023
    Also available in:
    Les systèmes agroalimentaires offrent à la société des avantages considérables: ils produisent les aliments dont nous nous nourrissons et procurent des emplois et des moyens d’existence à plus d’un milliard de personnes. Or ils ont aussi des incidences négatives, liées aux activités et pratiques non durables actuelles, qui contribuent au changement climatique, à la dégradation des ressources naturelles et à l’inaccessibilité économique d’une alimentation saine. Il est difficile de remédier à ces incidences négatives car les individus, les entreprises, les gouvernements et les autres parties prenantes, lorsqu’ils prennent des décisions au quotidien, n’ont pas une vue complète de l’impact de leurs activités sur la durabilité économique, sociale et environnementale. Dans l’édition 2023 de La Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture nous examinons le coût véritable des aliments, avec en ligne de mire l’instauration de systèmes agroalimentaires durables. Le rapport introduit la notion de coûts et d’avantages environnementaux, sociaux et sanitaires cachés des systèmes agroalimentaires et propose une approche – la comptabilisation du coût complet (l’approche CCC) – pour évaluer les coûts cachés. L’approche CCC s’inscrit dans un processus d’évaluation en deux phases qui comporte, dans un premier temps, des évaluations au niveau national fondées sur la comptabilisation du coût complet, dont le but est de sensibiliser, et dans un deuxième temps, des évaluations ciblées approfondies, dont le but est de hiérarchiser les solutions et de guider les mesures de transformation. La présente édition contient une première tentative d’évaluation au niveau national, réalisée pour 154 pays, d’où il ressort que les coûts cachés des systèmes agroalimentaires s’élèveraient, au niveau mondial, à 10000 milliards d’USD au moins, en parité de pouvoir d’achat (PPA) de 2020. D’après les estimations, les pays à faible revenu sont ceux pour qui les coûts cachés des systèmes agroalimentaires représentent la charge la plus lourde par rapport au revenu national. Certes, ces estimations sont encore préliminaires, mais l’analyse montre bien qu’il est urgent de prendre en considération les coûts cachés dans les processus décisionnels, afin de transformer les systèmes agroalimentaires. Pour appliquer plus largement l’approche CCC il faudra innover dans la recherche et les données, et investir dans la collecte de données et le renforcement des capacités, en particulier dans les pays à faible revenu et les pays à revenu intermédiaire, afin que cette approche devienne un outil viable qui puisse être utilisé de manière transparente et cohérente pour la prise de décision et l’élaboration des politiques.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.
