Book (stand-alone)FlagshipLa situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2015 Résumé (SOFA)
Protection sociale et agriculture: Briser le cercle vicieux de la pauvreté rurale
2015De nombreux pays ont atteint les objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement (OMD) relatifs à la réduction de la pauvreté. D’autres, en revanche, en sont encore loin et le défi de l’après-2015 consistera à éliminer totalement la pauvreté et la faim. Nombre de pays en développement reconnaissent de manière de plus en plus affirmée que des mesures de protection sociale sont nécessaires pour éviter que des personnes déjà pauvres sombrent dans le dénuement total et que des personnes mieux loties s e retrouvent elles aussi en situation de pauvreté à la suite d’une crise. La protection sociale peut également aider les bénéficiaires à mieux gérer les risques, à se doter de biens de production et à entreprendre des activités plus rémunératrices, et ainsi à être plus productifs. Ces avantages ne profitent pas seulement aux bénéficiaires immédiats, mais aussi à leur entourage, à la société et à l’économie en général, puisque les bénéficiaires achètent des denrées alimentaires, des intrants agri coles et d’autres biens et services ruraux. Mais, pour que la protection sociale ouvre une voie de sortie durable de la pauvreté, il faut une croissance économique avec effet d’insertion. Dans la plupart des pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire, l’agriculture est encore aujourd’hui le principal secteur d’emploi pour les franges pauvres et assure une importante partie des moyens de subsistance; de nombreuses personnes vivent en effet d’un emploi agricole salarié ou d’activités paysannes propres dont le produit est destiné à l’autoconsommation familiale ou à être vendu sur le marché. La pauvreté et ses corollaires – la malnutrition, les maladies et le manque d’instruction – pèsent sur la productivité agricole. Ainsi, une approche intégrant la prestation d’une protection sociale et le développement agricole serait de nature à créer des synergies susceptibles d’améliorer l’efficacité dans ces deux domaines. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -

A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition
2023The report “Reducing inequalities for food security and nutrition” has been developed by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN) following the request by the United Nations Committee on World Food Security (CFS) as included in its Programme of Work (MYPoW 2020-2023). In particular, the CFS requested the HLPE-FSN to develop a report to: (i) analyse evidence relating to how inequalities in access to assets (particularly land, other natural resources and finance) and in incomes within food systems impede opportunities for many actors to overcome food insecurity and malnutrition; (ii) analyse the drivers of inequalities and provide recommendations on entry points to address these; and (iii) identify areas requiring further research and data collection. This report will inform the ensuing CFS thematic workstream on inequalities, aiming at addressing the root causes of food insecurity with a focus on those “most affected by hunger and malnutrition”. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2020
Overcoming water challenges in agriculture
2020Intensifying water constraints threaten food security and nutrition. Thus, urgent action is needed to make water use in agriculture more sustainable and equitable. Irrigated agriculture remains by far the largest user of freshwater, but scarcity of freshwater is a growing problem owing to increasing demand and competition for freshwater resources. At the same time, rainfed agriculture is facing increasing precipitation variability driven by climate change. These trends will exacerbate disputes among water users and inequality in access to water, especially for small-scale farmers, the rural poor and other vulnerable populations. The State of Food and Agriculture 2020 presents new estimates on the pervasiveness of water scarcity in irrigated agriculture and of water shortages in rainfed agriculture, as well as on the number of people affected. It finds major differences across countries, and also substantial spatial variation within countries. This evidence informs a discussion of how countries may determine appropriate policies and interventions, depending on the nature and magnitude of the problem, but also on other factors such as the type of agricultural production system and countries’ level of development and their political structures. Based on this, the publication provides guidance on how countries can prioritize policies and interventions to overcome water constraints in agriculture, while ensuring efficient, sustainable and equitable access to water.
