ProjectProgramme / project reportRapport de l'étude de base (1987) sur la planification, le développement et l'aménagement des pêches continentales en Afrique Orientale/Centrale/Australe 1989
Also available in:
Le projet PPEC a débute en Janvier 1989 avec pour objectif principal une meilleure exploitation des ressources piscicoles des grands Lacs partagees de l'Afrique Orientale, Centrale et Australe. Le projet est excécuté par l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour 11 Alimentation et l' Agriculture (FAO), et finance par le Programme des Nations Unies pour le Developpement (PNUD) pour une duree de quatre ans. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyÉvaluer et renforcer les capacités phytosanitaires dans certains pays d’Afrique orientale et australe pour promouvoir une agriculture résiliente 2025
Also available in:
Les organismes nuisibles constituent une menace considérable pour la production agricole, la sécurité alimentaire et la stabilité économique dans la région du Marché commun de l’Afrique orientale et australe (COMESA), où ils détruisent chaque année entre 30 et 60 pour cent des récoltes. La présente étude, menée dans le cadre du projet «Renforcement des capacités et de la gouvernance en matière de contrôle alimentaire et phytosanitaire» (GCP/GLO/949/EC) financé par l’Union européenne, a été coordonnée par le Secrétariat de la Convention internationale pour la protection des végétaux (CIPV) et l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO). Elle évalue les capacités phytosanitaires de onze pays du COMESA en s’appuyant sur des évaluations des capacités phytosanitaires (ECP). Les résultats montrent que les pays accordent la priorité aux activités de base, notamment le diagnostic des organismes nuisibles, la surveillance, l’analyse du risque phytosanitaire et les systèmes d’importation et d’exportation. Sur les 11 pays examinés, six ont sélectionné au moins 11 des 13 modules de l’ECP. Les questions liées à la gouvernance, comme la mobilisation des parties prenantes, ont été peu abordées. Parmi les principaux problèmes rencontrés, on peut citer des législations obsolètes, des infrastructures de diagnostic limitées, des systèmes de surveillance peu performants et des capacités d’analyse du risque insuffisantes. Pour combler ces lacunes, l’étude recommande de moderniser les cadres juridiques, de renforcer les capacités techniques, d’adopter des solutions numériques telles que la solution ePhyto de la CIPV, et d’améliorer la coordination régionale par l’intermédiaire du COMESA et du Conseil phytosanitaire interafricain de l’Union africaine, en collaboration avec le Secrétariat de la CIPV. La mise en place de centres régionaux de formation et la promotion des partenariats contribueront à pérenniser des systèmes phytosanitaires conformes aux normes internationales et aux stratégies régionales. Le renforcement de ces systèmes est essentiel pour favoriser les échanges commerciaux, garantir la sécurité alimentaire et soutenir une croissance économique durable à l’échelle du continent africain.

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.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.
