BookletCorporate general interestTutunun alma bağı 2022Ənənəvi kənd təsərrüfatında bitki xəstəlikləri və zərərvericiləri ilə mübarizədə ən çox istifadə edilən üsul pestisidlərin tətbiqidir. Lakin zəhərli təsir göstərən pestisidlərin geniş, intensiv və düzgün istifadə edilməməsi ekosistemin tarazlığının pozulmasına gətirib çıxarmışdır. Su və torpaq çirklənmiş, torpaq daha az məhsuldar olmuşdur. Pestisidlər eyni zamanda ərazidəki digər canlılara, kənd təsərrüfatı istehsalında çox vacib olan faydalı orqanizmlərə və pestisidlər tətbiq olunmuş məhsulları yeyən heyvanlara da mənfi təsir göstərir. Onların həm istehsalçılar, həm də istehlakçılar üçün kəskin və xroniki sağlamlıq problemlərinə səbəb olduğu elmi şəkildə sübut edilmişdir. FAO-nun statistikasına görə, 1990-cı illərdə istifadə edilən pestisidlərin miqdarı ilə 2010-cu illərdə istifadə olunan pestisidlərin miqdarını müqayisə etdikdə, 50 faizdən çox artım var. Bununla belə, pestisidlərdən istifadə etmədən və ya onların istifadəsini minimuma endirməklə istehsal etmək mümkündür. Ekoloji cəhətdən təmiz kənd təsərrüfatı istehsalı zərərvericilərə qarşı inteqrir mübarizə, üzvi kənd təsərrüfatı və aqro-ekoloji istehsal kimi yanaşmalarla həyata keçirilə bilər. Bu kitabda Tutu almalarını qurdlardan qorumaq üçün getdikcə daha çox pestisidlərdən istifadə edir. Daha çox pestisidlərdən istifadə olunduqca, qurdlar müqavimət yaradır və pestisidlərə daha yaxşı dözür və meyvə bağı yox olur. Feromonlar qurdların çoxalmasını dayandırmaq üçün istifadə edilə bilər. Feromonlar sayəsində almalar zədələnmir. Qurdlardan qurtulmağın bu yolu təbiətə və insan sağlamlığına heç bir zərərin olmaması deməkdir.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRestoring degraded grassland: Orchards enrich school yards for prosperity 2024
Also available in:
The case study outlines the successful implementation of an orchard in Lomanda II Sector, Angola, as part of the ZAEC project. The initiative aimed to restore a degraded grassland, promote environmental education, and address local challenges. The orchard, covering 0.7 hectares, involved students and teachers in its establishment, featuring a drip irrigation system using recycled PET bottles. The project trained 390 students (172 female) and 10 teachers, transforming the school into a hands-on learning space. The orchard not only contributes to environmental conservation but also provides educational and economic benefits to the community, showcasing the power of collective actions in restoring ecosystems and finding sustainable solutions. Students and the school director express their appreciation for the positive impact of the project on education, environmental awareness, and community empowerment. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuideline to promote integrated pest management through Farmer Field Schools in smallholder agriculture in Ethiopia 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Plant protection in Ethiopia formally begin in the 1940s with focus on promoting use of pesticides. To this date, the pest control measure with wider acceptance has been the use of second generation synthetic organic pesticides. The most used are the highly hazardous pesticides, which have the reputation of posing serious risk to health and the environment.In Ethiopia, the total area under crops production is well over 13milion hectares. On the other hand, the quantities of pesticides available every year have not been enough even to protect crops grown in 1million hectares. Despite this, there has been rampant misuse of pesticides affecting health and the environment. Moreover, the attainable yield remained low with substantial yield losses incurred every year due to pest damage. This indicates clearly that the increase in yield gain remained low. Thus, promoting IPM through FFS was thought to be the means for growing healthy crops with high yield, sustainably manage economic pests, reduce pesticide use and protect health and the environment.It was based on this that FAO promoted IPM through the FFS approach and achieved the following outputs: enhanced human and institutional capacity for promoting IPM in smallholder fields, established and capacitated IPM-FFS groups who successfully reduced economic damage by pests, generated scalable outputs, conducted experience-sharing events on the outputs and reached more smallholder farmers. Therefore, using the scaled-out outputs as empirical data this guideline to promote IPM through FFS in the smallholders’ farmers was developed to create wider awareness and further implementation.

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. -

No results found.Between 2 and 17 January 2024, following a request by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoA&F), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in close cooperation with the Food Security Technical Secretariat (FSTS) and the State Ministries of Agriculture, carried out its annual Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to estimate the 2023 crop production and assess the food supply situation throughout the 18 states of the country. The report's recommendations are to provide immediate response to the needs of the population most affected by acute food insecurity as well as to support the recovery of the agriculture sector, increasing food production and farmers’ incomes, and enhancing efficiency along the value chain to reduce production costs. -
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.
