DocumentFactsheetMise en oeuvre de la stratégie de sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle en Afghanistan- GCP/AFG/091/GER 2017L’insécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle est un problème grave et répandu en Afghanistan. Environ 30 pour cent de la population souffre d’insécurité alimentaire et 40 pour cent des enfants afghans âgés de moins de cinq ans souffrent de dénutrition chronique. La majorité des personnes vulnérables et en situation d’insécurité alimentaire vivent en zones rurales et dépendent de l’agriculture et de l’élevage qui sont leurs principales sources de revenus. Le Ministère de l’agriculture, de l’irrigat ion et du bétail (MAIL) a élaboré une stratégie pour aborder les problèmes critiques de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle. Cependant, ses structures institutionnelles et ses capacités techniques et de gestion doivent être renforcées afin de mettre en oeuvre efficacement cette stratégie.

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 bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
