BookletCorporate general interestGood agricultural practices and technologies to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters in wheat production in Serbia 2021
Also available in:
Natural disasters, such as droughts, extreme temperature fluctuations, floods, and stormy winds, have gradually intensified in the past years. It is expected, due to climate change, that these disasters will become more frequent and pronounced. According to the Second Biennial Updated Report and the Third National Communication of the Republic of Serbia submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2019, the Republic of Serbia is among the most endangered European countries in terms of natural disasters and climate change. Agriculture is one of the sectors most dependent on climate so is very sensitive to variation in environmental conditions and climate change. Agriculture activities and the people depending on this sector can be significantly affected by climate change. Thus, the Republic of Serbia’s economy is affected since the agriculture sector greatly contributes to gross domestic product (GDP) and provides employment to many rural people. The Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management (MAFWM) want to increase the readiness of wheat producers and other agricultural producers to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters and climate change. -
BookletCorporate general interestДобре пољопривредне праксе и технологијe за ублажавање дејства природних непогода у производњи уљане репице у Србији 2021
Also available in:
температуре, поплаве и олујни ветрови, постепено се повећавају последњих неколико година. Са климатским променама, очекује се да ће ове непогоде бити све чешће и израженије. Према Другом двогодишњем ажурираном извештају и Трећем националном саопштењу Републике Србије UNFCCC (2019), Република Србија је међу европским земљама најугроженијим у погледу природних катастрофа и климатских промена. Пољопривреда је један од сектора који највише зависе од климе и врло је осетљива на климатска варирања и промене. Активности у пољопривреди и људи који зависе од овог сектора могу бити значајно погођени климатским променама, а тиме и економија Републике Србије, будући да овај сектор у великој мери доприноси бруто домаћем производу (БДП) и обезбеђује запослење великом броју људи. Министарство пољопривреде, шумарства и водопривреде Србије (МПШВ) жели да повећа спремност произвођача уљане репице и других пољопривредних произвођача за сузбијање ефеката природних катастрофа и климатских промена. Стога се Министарство обратило Организацији за храну и пољопривреду Уједињених нација (FАО) да пружи подршку у изради докумената са смерницама за пољопривредне произвођаче у смислу пракси и технологија које смањују утицај природних непогода и климатских промена. Као део тог процеса, панел српских стручњака за уљану репицу окупио се на иницијалној радионици која је одржана 24. септембра 2020. године, да би дискутовао о постојећим сазнањима и практичним решењима у овој области. Панел експерата окупио је представнике МПШВ, универзитета, истраживачких института, хидрометеоролошког завода, пољопривредних саветодавних и стручних служби, удружења пољопривредника, произвођача уљане репице и приватних предузећа. Закључци и препоруке са радионице сумирани су у нацрту који су припремили Ана Марјановић Јеромела и Славен Продановић. На другој, верификационој радионици, одржаној 4. новембра 2020. године, нацрт је прегледан и допуњен предлозима стучњака. Тиме је настала ова брошура, у којој се налазе све идентификоване добре пољопривредне технике и иновативне технологије које могу помоћи изградњи отпорности пољопривредног сектора, а посебно произвођачима уљане репице да ублаже дејство природних непогода и климатских промена. -
BookletCorporate general interestGood cropping practices and technologies to reduce the impact of natural hazards on maize production in Serbia 2021
Also available in:
The Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (MARW) is keen to increase the preparedness of maize producers to counteract the effects of natural hazards. Therefore, MARW has requested FAO to facilitate the writing of a technical guideline on good practices and technologies to reduce the impact of natural hazards. A workshop brought Serbian experts together to discuss the current knowledge on the impact of natural hazards on maize production in Serbia, and identify good practices and innovative technologies that could help to reduce the impacts of natural hazards. With climate change, it is expected that natural hazards, such as floods, droughts, storms, will increase in frequency and severity. Agriculture is one of the most climate sensitive sectors. Natural hazards may cause yield reductions or even total crop failure. In this brochure are described good agricultural practices and technologies to reduce the impact of natural hazards in maize production in Serbia, related to crop rotation, soil tillage, vertical tillage, mulching, growing cover crops, variety selection, sowing, inter-cropping, fertilization, weed and pest control, irrigation/drainage and harvesting. The brochure is intended for maize producers, ministries and entities of the Republic of Serbia, civil society, researchers/academics, agricultural extention services, and agricultural organizations. The brochure has been developed as one of the outputs of the FAO project ‘Enhancement of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) capacities and mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) practices into the Agricultural Sector in the Western Balkans’ (TCP/RER/3504).

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
