NewsletterNewsletterSMIAR Alerte Spéciale No. 346 - Somalie, 15 mai 2019
Environ 2,2 millions de Somaliens sont confrontés à une situation de grave insécurité alimentaire du fait de l’aggravation des conditions de sécheresse
2019Also available in:
Entre juillet et septembre 2019, 2,2 millions de personnes, soit près de 18 pour cent de la population totale, devraient être en situation de grave insécurité alimentaire. Le nombre de personnes souffrant d’insécurité alimentaire est supérieur de 40 pour cent à celui estimé au début de 2019 en raison des conditions de sécheresse qui nuisent gravement à la production animale et végétale, et perturbent les moyens de subsistance. La résilience des ménages a été sapée par les chocs climatiques récurrents, la forte pression exercée sur les réseaux de soutien social et la baisse de l’aide humanitaire. Il est nécessaire de mettre en œuvre des interventions d’urgence visant à assurer la survie et à soutenir les moyens de subsistance de la population, y compris à travers une assistance alimentaire et financière, afin d’empêcher une nouvelle dégradation de la situation humanitaire actuelle. -

La pire résurgence de criquets pèlerins depuis des décennies menace la sécurité alimentaire en Afrique de l'Est
2020Also available in:
La pire résurgence de criquets pèlerins de ces 25 dernières années a causé d'importantes pertes de pâturage dans toute l'Afrique de l'Est, principalement dans les zones agro-pastorales de l'est de l'Éthiopie, du centre de la Somalie et du nord du Kenya. Il y a de fortes chances que la nouvelle vague intense de reproduction acridienne prévue jusqu'en juin 2020 amplifie l’invasion, qui devrait ainsi se propager dans le sud de l'Éthiopie, le sud de la Somalie, le nord-est de l'Ouganda et au Soudan du Sud. Il est urgent d’amplifier immédiatement les opérations lutte aérienne pour atténuer les pertes de récoltes et de pâturages et éviter une détérioration marquée de la sécurité alimentaire. -

Des niveaux alarmants d’insécurité alimentaire dans plusieurs régions d'Afrique orientale en raison d’une grave sécheresse
2017Also available in:
En Afrique de l’Est, les cultures et les pâturages sont actuellement gravement touchés par une sécheresse généralisée, laissant craindre une détérioration significative de l'insécurité alimentaire d'ici le début de 2017. Les régions situées au premier rang des préoccupations sont le centre et le sud de la Somalie, le sud-est de l'Éthiopie, le nord et l'est du Kenya, le nord et l’est de la République-Unie de Tanzanie et le sud-est de l'Ouganda. Les fortes hausses des prix des céréales et des produits d’origine animale limitent l'accès à la nourriture d’un grand nombre de ménages. Les chocs climatiques récurrents ont sapé la résilience des ménages et il est urgent de fournir un soutien aux activités agricoles.

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. -

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.
