Book (stand-alone)Vers une analyse des environnements et des populations de montagne par Système d’Information Géographique 2003Ce rapport présente les résultats des travaux en cours. Il utilise les techniques des systèmes d’information géographique (SIG) et les données géo-référencées nouvellement disponibles pour comprendre les conditions à l’origine de la pauvreté et de la faim dans le monde, en se référant plus particulièrement aux environnements et aux populations de montagne. Suivant le modèle mis au point en 2000 par le Centre mondial de surveillance de la conservation du Programme des Nations Unies pour l’env ironnement (PNUE-WCMC) pour la classification des zones de montagne, l’analyse couvre à la fois les zones de collines et celles de haute montagne. De nouvelles données sur la densité démographique mondiale tirées de la carte LandScan 2000 ont permis d’estimer la population pour chaque catégorie de zone montagneuse, et d’obtenir d’autres paramètres tels que l’utilisation des terres agricoles, les systèmes de production, les problèmes d’environnement et les rendements par personne, qui permettent d’évaluer le nombre de personnes vulnérables vivant en montagne.

Book (stand-alone)Vulnerability of mountain peoples to food insecurity
Updated data and analysis of drivers
2020Also available in:
No results found.This study, the third of its type published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), adds further evidence that in mountain regions of developing countries, food insecurity, social isolation, environmental degradation, exposure to the risk of disasters and to the impacts of climate change, and limited access to basic services, especially in rural areas, are still prevalent and, under some circumstances, increasing. It also shows the technical challenges for producing more comprehensive and representative assessments based on scientific data, and providing a deeper understanding of the underlying factors of vulnerability of mountain people. Mountains cover 39 million km2, or 27 percent, of the world’s land surface. In 2017, the global mountain population reached nearly 1.1 billion, which is 15 percent of the world’s population, with an increase of 89 million people since 2012. The increase added almost entirely (86 million people) to the mountain population in developing countries, which reached one billion people in 2017. The population has increased in all the regions of the developing world. Only the areas at the highest mountain altitudes (above 3 500 m) continued to experience a depopulation trend in the last 17 years, while at all other elevations population increased. In all African subregions, in South America and in Central and Western Asia, the population density is higher in the mountains than in the lowlands. In developing countries, 648 million people (65 percent of the total mountain population) live in rural areas. Half of them – 346 million – were estimated to be vulnerable to food insecurity in 2017. In other words, one in two rural mountain dwellers in developing countries live in areas where the daily availability of calories and protein was estimated to be below the minimum threshold needed for a healthy life. In the five years from 2012 to 2017, the number of vulnerable people increased in the mountains of developing countries, approximately at the same pace as the total mountain population. Although the proportion of vulnerable people to the total mountain population did not change, the absolute number of vulnerable people increased globally by 40 million, representing an increment of 12.5 percent from 2012 to 2017. -
Book (stand-alone)Hacia un análisis del medio ambiente y las poblaciones de las zonas montañosas utilizando SIG 2003Este informe presenta los resultados de las labores en curso. Aplica las técnicas de los sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) y los datos con referencia geográfica al conocimiento de las condiciones de base de la pobreza y el hambre en el mundo, con especial referencia a las zonas montañosas y sus poblaciones. A partir del sistema elaborado en 2000 por el Centro Mundial de Vigilancia de la Conservación, del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (PNUMA - WCMC) para la clasifi cación de las zonas montañosas, el análisis abarca tanto las regiones de colinas como las de montañas. La nueva información sobre densidad demográfica presentada en el mapa LandScan 2000 ha permitido calcular las cifras demográficas de cada clase de zona montañosa, así como otros parámetros relacionados con la explotación agrícola de las tierras, los sistemas agrícolas, las limitaciones ambientales y el rendimiento por persona, que contribuyen al cálculo del número de personas vulnerables de las zonas montañosas.
