DocumentFactsheetGarantir l’expansion durable de l’aquaculture au Bangladesh - TCP/BGD/3501 2017La production aquacole (pisciculture) au Bangladesh qui a enregistré une augmentation de près de 200 pour cent entre 2001 et 2015, atteint maintenant un peu plus de deux millions de tonnes. La durabilité d’une expansion accrue dépendra de l’obtention de semences et d’aliments de haute qualité qui seront produits, distribués et utilisés de manière efficace, socialement équitable et respectueuse de l’environnement. Le projet a permis de renforcer la qualité des semences en lançant un programme d’é levage sélectif devant produire des reproducteurs améliorés et en élaborant de meilleures directives relatives à la gestion des écloseries. La qualité des aliments a été renforcée par la mise en place de systèmes de surveillance garantissant que les agriculteurs aient accès à des aliments de haute qualité et non frelatés.

ProjectFactsheetEnhancing urban horticulture production in Bangladesh - TCP/BGD/3503 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Bangladesh is characterized by a high rate of urbanization, giving rise to three major problem groups for urban environment sustainability, namely population growth, the depletion of resources and atmospheric pollution. The leading development challenge of the country today is to include poverty alleviation, sustainable development and environmental management in the context of its rapidly growing population. Against this background, the project aimed to increase horticulture production in two of the country’s most densely populated cities, Dhaka and Chittagong, to contribute to food security and create a positive impact on urban environment. -
ProjectFactsheetDevelopment of Agricultural Diploma Education in Bangladesh - TCP/BGD/3604 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Enhancing crop productivity is one key to securing food security in Bangladesh. The productivity of the crop sector in Bangladesh has increased significantly over time. The challenge, however, is to continue this momentum in the coming decades as the population grows and land is lost to other economic uses. The use of innovative demand-based technologies will help to meet this challenge. In the crop sector, new technologies are tested and delivered by front-line field extension staff of the Department of Agricultural Extension and private-sector organizations. To qualify for such positions, applicants require an agriculture diploma from the country’s Agricultural Training Institutes. In order to keep pace with changing agricultural knowledge and the demands of a modern agricultural extension service, the ATI diploma curriculum needed to be updated, along with teaching methods and institutional management. The project addressed these issues on a pilot basis, in partnership with DAE, for subsequent scaling-up by the Government of Bangladesh. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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.
