DocumentOther documentProgramme triennal de réponse a l’invasion acridienne à madagascar (2013-2016). Rapport: Evaluation de la deuxième campagne antiacridienne (2014-2015) contre l’invasion du criquet migrateur malgache a Madagascar
22 juin – 12 juillet 2015

No results found.Le présent rapport s’inscrit dans ce contexte et concerne l’évaluation de la deuxième campagne de lutte antiacridienne (2014/15) dont l’objectif spécifique était d’accompagner le déclin de l’invasion en limitant les dégâts dus aux criquets sur les cultures et les pâturages. L’analyse des résultats a montré que les objectifs de cette campagne ont été globalement atteints. Grâce aux opérations de lutte, principalement aérienne, les effectifs acridiens ont été largement réduits et ramenés en-dessou s des inquiétudes. Les superficies totales traitées et protégées par la FAO au 12 juillet 2015 par voie aérienne et voie terrestre s’élèvent à 638 522 ha (dont 627 610 ha traités par voie aérienne et 10 912 ha par voie terrestre), chiffre nettement conforme aux prévisions qui avaient été faites (de 500 000 à 800 000 ha à traiter). Par ailleurs, aucun incident majeur n’a été signalé sur la santé humaine et l’environnement. Enfin, les capacités nationales ont été renforcées et les ressources agrop astorales ont été protégées au bénéfice des populations rurales. -

No results found.La présente mission d’évaluation de la campagne antiacridienne 2015/16 correspond à la fin de l’exécution du Programme triennal (2013-2016) de réponse d’urgence à l’invasion acridienne et fait suite aux évaluations des deux précédentes campagnes respectivement en juin 2014 et juin/juillet 2015. Ce Programme, mis en oeuvre par l’Organisation des nations unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), a été préparé conjointement par la FAO et le Ministère auprès de la présidence chargé de l’agri culture et de l’élevage (MPAE), avec l’objectif de sauvegarder la sécurité alimentaire des populations rurales de Madagascar. -
DocumentOther documentRéponse à l'invasion acridienne à Madagascar Campagne 2014/15
Rapport final Septembre 2014–août 2015
2016Also available in:
L’invasion du Criquet migrateur malgache a commencé en avril 2012. Les cultures (principalement le riz) et les pâturages étaient sous la menace de dégâts majeurs. Cette invasion acridienne aurait pu avoir un impact négatif considérable sur l’offre interne et le prix des céréales. Compte tenu de l'ampleur de cette invasion, il était estimé que la sécurité alimentaire de 13 millions de personnes (60 pour cent de la population) pouvait être affectée en l’absence d’interventions antiacridiennes mass ives. Pour faire face à cette situation catastrophique, un Programme triennal de réponse d’urgence à l’invasion acridienne a donc été préparé conjointement par la FAO et le Ministère de l’agriculture (MinAgri) en décembre 2012.

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. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
