Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWorld Food Survey
Washington, 5 July 1946
1946Also available in:
No results found.Early in 1946, several of these agencies loaned the services of some of their staff members to the Food and Agriculture Organization for the purpose of making a world food survey in which the best available figures and estimates would be brought together, critically examined, and reduced to a uniform basis. The objective was to obtain as clear a picture as possible of the world food situation as it was in the years just before the war. F AO needed these figures as a guide in working out proposals for future world food and agricultural policies. This report gives the results of the survey. It covers 70 countries whose people makeup about 90 percent of the earth's population. It need scarcely be said that the figures for many countries are highly imperfect. Statistical services in most countries will have to be vastly improved before complete and accurate data are obtainable; it is one of FA O's functions to help bring about this improvement, which will take many years. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe fifth World Food Survey 1987
Also available in:
No results found.This fifth world food survey provides data and analyses that will assist national governments and international organizations in their joint attack on the basic causes of malnutrition, so that genuine food security may be guaranteed to all men and women everywhere. It offers no grounds for complacency with regard to the current world food and nutrition situation, but it does hold out some hope for the future if individual governments and the international community act to fulfill the expectations that were opened by the first World Food Survey when FAQ was founded 40 years ago. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe second World Food Survey
Rome, November 1952
1952Also available in:
No results found.One of FAO's first major accomplishments was the World Food Survey, published in 1946. A few months earlier, FAO had been established as the agency through which governments could work together in the task of enabling people of all countries to have enough of the right kinds of food and to enjoy adequate standards of living. There was a general awareness that a large proportion of the world's population was insufficiently and improperly nourished, but the facts and figures needed to measure the size of the problem had never been systematically assembled. No broad statistical picture or map existed which could serve as a guide in the campaign against hunger and malnutrition which the Member States of FAO had pledged themselves to undertake. Much has happened since 1946 and a new assessment, which will indicate what has happened in the postwar period, is now needed. It is also necessary to gauge the progress which has been made towards the objectives set up in the earlier Survey, and the prospects for the future. The Second World Food Survey is presented as a report on progress made thus far, and as a guide to future action. It is incomplete and, in many respects, provisional. But if to some degree it assists national governments, regional and international organizations to formulate plans and programs for more intense and comprehensive action in the future, it will have achieved its purpose.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
