    As part of the global movement against child labour, a strong and sustained international effort is underway to reduce child labour in agriculture. FAO has always worked on one of the root causes of child labour, namely poverty, and more explicit work has begun with the launching of the International Partnership for Cooperation on Child Labour in Agriculture (IPCCLA) in 2007 in which FAO plays a leading role. The Declaration of Intent signed between the ILO, FAO, IFAD, IFPRI/CGIAR, IFAP and the IUF aims to promote cooperation among the partners, mainstream child labour concerns into activities of agricultural organizations, and promote the improvement of rural livelihoods and alternative income-generating activities as well as opportunities for decent youth employment in agriculture and rural areas. In this context, FAO chaired a technical workshop on Child Labour in Agriculture at The Hague Global Child Labour Conference 2010 and contributed to the Roadmap to Achievi ng the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour by 2016. The Roadmap acknowledges that the highest incidence of child labour is in agriculture (60 percent) and calls for intensified cooperation across the United Nations and the multilateral system to address the issue.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. 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.

    Six-legged livestock: Edible insect farming, collection and marketing in Thailand 2013
    Also available in:

    The world's population is expected to surpass 9 billion by 2050. FAO estimates that global food production will need to expand by an estimated 60 percent from current levels. Meeting this massive additional demand will require concerted action on a number of fronts, including efforts to increase the production and consumption of currently under-utilized and under-appreciated foods. Edible insects compromise one such category. Insects offer several advantages as human food. They are extremely ric h in proteins, vitamins and minerals, and at the same time are highly efficient in converting the food they eat into material that can be consumed by humans. This publication provides insight into the collection and farming, processing, marketing and trade of edible insects in Thailand - one of the few countries in the world to have developed a viable and thriving insect farming sector.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.
