No results found.Climate change poses severe challenges to The Gambia's agricultural sector, where over 70 percent of farmers depend on small-scale, subsistence rainfed crop production and traditional livestock rearing. Over the past 40 years, climate records show clear negative trends including declining rainfall, shorter growing seasons, increased variability, and rising temperatures that threaten rural livelihoods and food security. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding from the Global Environment Facility’s (GEF) Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), implemented the Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project (AACCP) in collaboration with The Gambia’s Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) to promote sustainable and diversified livelihood strategies that reduce climate vulnerability in agriculture and livestock sectors. The project addressed critical barriers, including insufficient institutional capacity for climate adaptation, inadequate vulnerability data and risk information systems, farmers' heavy dependence on monocropping and widespread rangeland degradation. -

BookletCorporate general interestFood Systems Profile - The Gambia
Catalysing the sustainable and inclusive transformation of food systems
2022Also available in:
No results found.Food systems are intimately linked to our lives – through the food we eat, our nutrition and health, our livelihoods, jobs, and the environment and natural resources of the planet. The main challenge for food systems is to produce nutritious food for all while preserving our biodiversity and environment and ensuring equitable distribution of wealth. This Food Systems Profile provides a summary of the main food system issues in The Gambia and highlights potential solutions for their sustainable and inclusive transformation. It is the result of a systemic analysis and stakeholders consultation that was part of a global assessment of food systems in over 50 countries, following a joint initiative by the EU, FAO, and CIRAD which aims at catalyzing the sustainable and inclusive transformation of food systems. -
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. -
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.
