Series title FAO Agricultural Economics Working Paper

Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Egypt is on track to achieve its long-term goal of reducing the poverty rate to 6 percent by 2022. Continued progress towards this goal will require rapid employment growth for which agriculture growth, through its impact on demand for goods and services in the rural non-tradable sector will be of fundamental importance. This paper considers which agricultural policies will be most effective at reducing rural poverty in Egypt. Using household survey data from 1997 the study analyzes household i ncome structure and determinants. Results indicate that agricultural policies that help to raise unskilled labour wages and/or increase demand for unskilled labour as well as those that support small animal/bird raising, in particular poultry, are best suited to help the poor. A longer-term strategy must also focus on enhancing formal sector employment through increased access to education for men and in particular women.

    Honduras: Ingresos del hogar agrícola desglosado por género
    Cuarta ronda de DIEM-Monitoreo, Diciembre de 2024
    2025
    Also available in:
    Este informe ejecutivo presenta los resultados de la cuarta ronda del Monitoreo de Datos en Emergencias (DIEM-Monitoreo) en Honduras, centrándose en los ingresos de los hogares agrícolas, desagregados por género. A lo largo del informe ejecutivo, los ingresos de los hogares agrícolas se presentan según el género del jefe de hogar y del principal contribuyente.La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura estableció DIEM-Monitoreo en junio de 2020. En 29 de los países con mayor inseguridad alimentaria del mundo, los encuestadores de DIEM recopilan datos a nivel de hogares sobre crisis, medios de vida agrícolas, seguridad alimentaria y necesidades varias veces al año mediante entrevistas telefónicas asistidas por computadora y encuestas presenciales. Estos datos granulares, recopilados periódicamente, son fácilmente accesibles en forma de paneles, mapas, informes y datos agregados en el DIEM Hub, lo que permite a los socios y partes interesadas implementar medidas inmediatas de mitigación y respuesta.

    Invertir en hogares rurales a través de promotores comunitarios
    El Programa Haku Wiñay/Noa Jayatai en el Perú
    2021
    Also available in:
    Invertir en los campesinos, o en el capital humano de la agricultura, es crucial para hacer frente a los retos en los sistemas agroalimentarios globales, desde alimentar a la creciente población mundial de forma sostenible y con alimentos seguros, saludables y nutritivos, hasta encontrar soluciones innovadoras para una agricultura más resiliente y climáticamente inteligente. Un estudio global realizado por el Centro de Inversiones de la FAO y el Instituto Internacional de Investigación sobre Políticas Alimentarias, con el apoyo del Programa de Investigación sobre Políticas, Instituciones y Mercados (PIM) del CGIAR y la Unidad de Investigación y Extensión de la FAO, analiza las inversiones en capital humano agrícola, desde tendencias hasta prometedoras iniciativas que desarrollan capital humano en la agricultura, especialmente en pequeños productores, mujeres y jóvenes. Uno de los nueve estudios de caso destacados es el programa Haku Wiñay / Noa Jayatai de Perú. Traducido como "Crezcamos juntos" en quechua y shipibo-conibo, respectivamente, el programa brinda asistencia técnica y paquetes de capacitación a hogares agrícolas rurales de bajos ingresos para desarrollar sus habilidades productivas y empresariales para un mejor acceso al mercado. Las comunidades diseñan los proyectos, con promotores locales conocidos como Yachachiqs que brindan asistencia técnica y capacitación a otros agricultores y miembros de la comunidad. Este estudio de caso presenta una descripción general del programa, identifica qué funciona bien y por qué, y brinda algunas recomendaciones para superar inconvenientes y desafíos.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
    Also available in:
    Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
