Néanmoins, en raison de la sensibilité de leurs politiques agricoles, les pays développés ont également répugné à accorder des préférences marquées pour les produits agricoles. Simultanément, il a été établi un certain nombre de régimes préférentiels spéciaux qui prévoient d'importantes concessions en faveur de groupes restreints de pays en développement pour des produits agricoles sélectionnés. Les préférences accordées p ar l'Union européenne (UE) aux importations de sucre en provenance de pays ACP sélectionnés en sont un exemple. Le traitement préférentiel applicable aux exportations agricoles des pays en développement est par conséquent extrêmement diversifié.

études de cas sur des pays en développement
2004En 1999, la FAO a entrepris une tâche de grande envergure: évaluer les répercussions de l’Accord sur l’agriculture dans les pays en développement, pour ce qui est des échanges de produits agricoles et de la sécurité alimentaire. A cet effet, elle a commissionné quatorze études de cas et préparé un document de synthèse pour faire le point de ces expériences et en tirer les leçons qui s’imposent . Par la suite, il a été procédé à une mise à jour de ces données, en élargissant le nombre des pays e xaminés. Au début de 2002, à la demande de la FAO, seize pays ont fait l’objet d’une étude. Certains avaient déjà été examinés en 1999, d’autres sont venus s’ajouter au premier groupe. Le chapitre de synthèse repose sur l’ensemble des vingt-trois études de cas réalisées à ce jour, mais le présent volume ne contient que les seize études les plus récentes. Elles tentent de répondre aux quatre questions suivantes concernant l’impact de l’Accord sur l’agriculture dans les pays en développement. -

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profilePakistan: Urgent call for assistance 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Severe monsoon weather conditions since mid-June 2022 have disrupted the lives and livelihoods of 33 million people in Pakistan, mainly located in rural areas. Rainfalls were significantly higher than the national 30-year average, leading to devastating floods and landslides that wiped out agricultural lands, livestock assets, forests and critical agricultural infrastructure. The climate-induced disaster struck rural communities amid growing economic and food security challenges, compounding their vulnerabilities and exhausting their resilience. Rural communities, who represent 80 percent of the poorest people in Pakistan and depend on agriculture and livestock keeping for their livelihoods, were among the hardest hit by the disaster, especially in Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab provinces. The document provides an overview of the impact of the disaster on agricultural livelihoods and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.
