ProjectFactsheetAppui à l’amélioration de la préparation des pays contre l’invasion de la chenille légionnaire d’automne - TCP/INT/3705 2023
Also available in:
La chenille légionnaire d'automne ( est un noctuidé originaire d Amérique considéré comme un ravageur en raison des dommages agricoles considérables qu'il occasionne Ses larves s attaquent à plus de 80 espèces de cultures, dont le maïs, le riz, le sorgho, le millet, la canne à sucre, le coton et diverses espèces de légumes, constituant ainsi une menace pour les économies rurales vitales La CLA a été signalée pour la première fois en Afrique début 2016 dans les pays d'Afrique occidentale et centrale, et s'est rapidement propagée dans toute l'Afrique subsaharienne, causant d'importantes pertes agricoles et économiques L'apparition du ravageur a été confirmée en Inde et au Yémen en juillet 2018 et a ensuite été signalée au Bangladesh, au Sri Lanka et en Thaïlande en 2019 Une baisse de la productivité agricole met en péril non seulement la sécurité alimentaire, mais aussi les moyens d existence des agriculteurs En raison du commerce des produits agricoles et de la remarquable capacité de vol de la noctuelle, ce nuisible pourrait se propager à d'autres pays, constituant un risque majeur pour la production agricole, en particulier de céréales C'est pourquoi de nombreux pays ont demandé de l'aide pour lutter contre la propagation de la légionnaire d automne et acquérir des techniques de gestion, de suivi et de prospection pour une détection précoce. -
ProjectFactsheetEmergency Response to Enhance the National Capacity of Egypt for Early Warning, Monitoring and Management of Fall Armyworm - TCP/EGY/3706 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, the Fall Armyworm ( is a transboundary pest that travels great distances very quickly and feeds on a variety of crops, including maize, rice, sorghum and sugar cane The FAW was detected in West Africa for the first time in 2016 and within a few years, it had spread to almost all the countries in sub Saharan Africa Its presence was first reported in maize fields in Egypt in May 2019 Owing to the speed with which it spreads and the fact that it can feed on so many different plants, the FAW has the potential to devastate yields and damage crops in Egypt, thereby dramatically affecting food security and threatening the livelihoods of smallholder farmers This project was designed to build the capacities of a variety of stakeholders, including staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation ( and smallholder farmers, to identify, monitor and control the spread of FAW in Egypt through awareness raising, training programmes the implementation of Integrated Pest Management ( strategies and the provision of equipment. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureBurkina Faso: Impact of fall armyworm on maize production, livelihoods and food security
DIEM-Impact report, July 2023: Executive summary
2023Also available in:
This document is the Executive summary provided in the July 2023 DIEM-Impact report entitled Burkina Faso: Impact of fall armyworm on maize production, livelihoods and food security. Since its appearance in 2016, fall armyworm has spread to many countries and remains one of the main threats to agriculture and food security in Africa. Among the countries affected by fall armyworm in West Africa and the Sahel, Burkina Faso was selected for this assessment based on the data of the Cadre Harmonisé analysis that indicated twelve percent of the population were in Phase 3+ over the second half of 2022, the highest in West Africa. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of fall armyworm on maize production, and the livelihoods and food security of maize farmers in Burkina Faso. FAO established DIEM-Impact to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.

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. -

No results found.Le présent document vise à définir les impacts actuels de l’élevage bovin et avicole sur les moyens de subsistance, au Burkina Faso, en prenant en compte les populations dépendantes à l’élevage, la contribution aux revenus nets des ménages et la contribution à la nutrition et à la sécurité alimentaire. Pour mieux comprendre ces impacts, nous nous basons sur le rapport national des impacts des systèmes de production bovine et avicole sur la santé, l’environnement et les moyens de subsistance au Burkina Faso – dans le cadre du programme Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 (ASL2050) – ainsi que sur des rapports de recherche publiés.
