Also available in:
No results found.In the ever-evolving landscape of agricultural water resources management, a pressing imperative exists to foster inclusivity and sustainability. This requires a paradigm shift in our approach centered around the principles of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI). This policy brief delves into the intricate nexus of agriculture, water, and GEDSI, presenting a comprehensive overview of why and how these principles should be seamlessly integrated across all stages of the project cycle. By weaving together empirical case studies, best practices, and strategic insights, the brief aims to guide practitioners toward creating agricultural water resource initiatives that not only stand resilient in the face of challenges but also honor the rights and needs of every stakeholder. -

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.

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.
