DocumentOther documentUne analyse des coûts/bénéfices dans les pratiques de l’agriculture de conservation et dans l’agroforesterie à Haïti – Le cas de pois avec des techniques de rampes vivantes 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Cette fiche technique décrit les résultats d’une analyses coûts/bénéfices de l’introduction de bandes végétales/rampes vivantes dans les cultures de pois, dans les municipalités de Bainet et Grand Goave, à Haïti. Le but de cette pratique, en atténuant l’érosion des sols via une diminution de la vitesse d’écoulement de l’eau et une favorisation de son infiltration, est d’augmenter la résilience des systèmes de productions de la région face aux ouragans récurrents qui frappent ces municipalités et face aux inondations et glissements de terrains qui en découlent. Pour être efficace, l’introduction de cette pratique nécessite un terrain à pente inférieure à 25 per cent. Dans certaines fermes, cette pratique a été combinée à des pratiques de culture de conservation et d’agroforesterie. L’introduction de ces pratiques a permis d’améliorer la qualité de vie des fermiers face à des catastrophes naturelles en leur permettant de travailler plus efficacement, de réduire les coûts de production et d’augmenter les rendements -

Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Burundi in February 1998 to evaluate the 1998 first season (1998A) production, forecast harvest for the second and third seasons (1998B and C), and estimate the countrys import and food aid requirements for 1998. The mission had consultations with government officials and representatives of UN and other bodies, and visited all the countrys provinces. In preparation for the mission, a preliminary survey had been carried out by two nationa l consultants in twelve provinces where security conditions permitted. The mission noted an improvement in security conditions which allowed some of the population in regroupment and displacement camps to return to their farms during the second half of 1997. Thus the number of people in camps fell by 14 percent between June 1997 and January 1998 from 665 374 to 572 462, representing 9 percent of the total population in February 1998. This population movement, together with repatriation from o utside the country, led to an increase in planted areas in 1998A season.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLeveraging Small and Medium Enterprises to improve nutrition 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Making nutritious and safe foods available, accessible, affordable and desirable for improved nutrition requires action from all stakeholders in the food system, including producers, processors, retailers, and consumers, in both private and public institutions. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the food industry play a pivotal role. This report presents findings from a FAO/GAIN workshop on ‘Leveraging Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to Improve Nutrition’, with a dual focus on 1) identifying opportunities and constraints to the contribution of SMEs to healthy diets and nutrition-sensitive food systems; and 2) identifying ways to help SMEs build on good nutrition as a ‘business opportunity’. -

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.
