DocumentOther documentShanghai Declaration: Aquaculture for food and sustainable development 2022The Shanghai Declaration, a key output from the fourth Global Conference on Aquaculture Millennium +20 (GCA +20), highlights the principles and pathways to maximize sustainable aquaculture in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and specifically presents: a shared vision of sustainable aquaculture; five overarching commitments; and ten strategic priorities. The Shanghai Declaration was drafted by a small group of globally recognized aquaculture experts, followed by consultations with a wider group with appropriate technical, regional and gender balance, including members of the International Organizing Committee and International Programme Committee. The draft was opened for comment by all registered participants, with comments incorporated to the extent possible. The Shanghai Declaration, which is a participants’ declaration, was presented on the first day (23 September 2021) and unanimously adopted on the second day of the GCA +20 (24 September 2021).

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProgramme de formation et manuel pratique sur l'aquaculture durable 2024
Also available in:
Dans le contexte du développement de l’aquaculture durable, divers principes techniques, environnementaux, socioéconomiques et de gouvernance, combinés, ont un rôle crucial à jouer. L’une des principales préoccupations de la région Afrique concerne la disponibilité du poisson par habitant, qui devrait diminuer dans les décennies à venir si la croissance de la production aquacole est inférieure à la croissance démographique. Outre sa capacité avérée à réduire la pauvreté et à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et les moyens de subsistance, l’aquaculture peut constituer un important moteur de croissance. Certains pays disposent par ailleurs de programmes aquacoles éprouvés. De nombreux pays africains reconnaissent désormais l’importance de ce secteur et le rangent parmi les domaines prioritaires. Certains des facteurs identifiés comme nécessaires au développement du secteur sont la production de connaissances et le renforcement des capacités institutionnelles et techniques. L’éducation formelle et l’apprentissage informel doivent être privilégiés si l’on veut améliorer le niveau d’expertise, de compétence et de qualification des différents acteurs du secteur aquacole. À cet égard, il est nécessaire de mettre en place des programmes d’éducation et de formation innovants pour produire ou renforcer les connaissances et les compétences et améliorer la sécurité alimentaire, la nutrition, la croissance économique et l’emploi, autant d’éléments indispensables pour faire progresser le secteur.Ce document a été conçu comme un guide de ressources et répond aux besoins des pisciculteurs, des agents de vulgarisation agricole, des fonctionnaires et des institutions financières, qu’ils connaissent de manière précise ou non le secteur aquacole. Le programme et le manuel de formation ont également été conçus de manière à améliorer les connaissances et les compétences des écoles techniques (enseignants et étudiants) en matière de pratiques aquacoles durables. -

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. -
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. -
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.
