BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

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. -
ProjectFactsheetDevelopment of Sierra Leone Mechanization Policy - TCP/SIL/3802 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Sustainable agricultural mechanization is essential for Sierra Leone's structural transformation and job creation, as well as being a key component of achieving zero hunger. Despite efforts to date, most agricultural activities in the country, including land preparation, harvesting and threshing, are still carried out manually. To ensure sustainable national food security, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security (MAFFS) is promoting the effective and efficient use of agricultural machinery such as tractors, power tillers, combined harvesters, etc. The adoption of a sound mechanization policy in Sierra Leone would contribute to sustainable agriculture, improved food and nutrition security and increased resilience to climate change and other shocks.
