DocumentFactsheetVers une meilleure gouvernance des forêts à Madagascar - TCP/MAG/3501 2017
Also available in:
La superficie forestière de Madagascar est estimée à près de 12 millions d'hectares, dont le rythme moyen de déforestation est de plus de 0,5 pour cent. Or, la plupart des textes législatifs et réglementaires qui régissent le secteur forestier datent de la fin des années 1990, au mieux du début des années 2000, et ne correspondent plus aux exigences actuelles du secteur. Le projet avait pour but d’aider le Gouvernement à élaborer un code forestier, jusqu’alors inexistant, et à réviser la politiq ue des forêts du pays, de façon à disposer de référents clairs, précis et cohérents pour guider l’action publique. -

DocumentOther documentLe secteur forestier dans l’économie verte en Afrique
Nature & Faune, vol. 26, no. 1
2011Also available in:
Avec son accent spécial sur “Le secteur forestier dans l’économie verte en Afrique”, ce numéro montre plusieurs moyens par lesquels les secteurs de la foresterie et des ressources naturelles peuvent contribuer aux besoins de l’économie verte en Afrique. Une économie verte est une économie qui entraine un mieux être humain et l’équité sociale, tout en réduisant de manière substantielle les risques environnementaux et les pénuries écologiques. Le Global Citizens Center dirigé par Kevin Danaher déf init l’économie verte comme un agrégat global de communautés individuelles qui satisfait les besoins de ses citoyens grâce à la production locale responsable et à l’échange de biens et services. Le présent numéro souligne l’importance du secteur forestier pour l’ensemble de l’économie et pour l’utilisation des terres de la région, démontrant son potentiel pour une amélioration (ou aggravation) notable des mérites ‘verts’ d’une économie. Il s’agit là d’un message important sur la foresterie et l’écologie. Vous découvrirez comment la foresterie aide l’écologie et les défis auxquels elle est confrontée dans ce processus en matière d’énergie, d’eau, de gestion du carbone, de gestion de la biodiversité et de conservation. Les articles examinent comment la foresterie continuera de remplir ses fonctions économiques, environnementales et sociales en Afrique tout en interagissant avec d’autres secteurs pour développer une économie globale ‘verte’.

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.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
