No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations conducted an assessment of household food security and agricultural livelihoods in Ukraine during December 2023. The overall objective of the assessment was to provide an overview of the food security and livelihoods situation in government‑controlled areas of Ukraine in order to inform evidence-based decision making. A total of 4 764 households were successfully interviewed by phone across all government‑controlled areas of Ukraine in December 2023. This document provides a summary of the key findings of the assessment. -
Book (series)General interest bookReport of the workshop on optimizing food and nutrition security and livelihood benefits of small pelagic species production in sub-Saharan Africa, Accra, Ghana, 5–7 December 2023 2024
Also available in:
Based on earlier work by FAO in collaboration with other organizations and institutions, the workshop on “Optimizing food and nutrition security and livelihood benefits of small pelagic species production in sub-Saharan Africa” aimed to develop a better understanding of supply chains for small pelagic species in sub-Saharan/West Africa. In doing so, it focused on how related fishery resources could best contribute to food and nutrition security, and to the livelihoods of small-scale and fisheries-dependent communities. The workshop was an opportunity to review good practices and lessons learned concerning the alignment between the fish-based products industry and food and nutrition security considerations. It also identified policy considerations, future research and other actions to support effective management of small pelagic resources. The workshop brought together 50 representatives from local fishing communities, governments, private sector actors, research institutions, and relevant professional and interest organizations. A number of conclusions were drawn and recommendations made on how to safeguard the contribution of small pelagics to food and nutrition while having a responsible fishmeal and fish oil industry in the West African region. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Food Security and Livelihoods for Small-Scale Farmers in Lebanon - GCP/LEB/045/SWI-F 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Lebanon is currently facing a critical food security crisis. Its food system, meanwhile, faces multiple challenges, including fragmented land, reliance on imported agricultural inputs, inefficient water use and outdated infrastructure. These issues are exacerbated by an ongoing water crisis, as well as public health concerns such as cholera and hepatitis outbreaks. Given the region’s heavy dependence on agriculture, these factors significantly heighten its vulnerability. Over 1.05 million individuals – including Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugees – experiencing acute food insecurity, placing them in Phase 3 of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). This number is expected to rise to 1.65 million by March 2025.In this context, the Government of Switzerland has provided funds for FAO to develop a project document, which focuses on addressing a range of challenges affecting food security in Lebanon. The project formulated aims to tackle the country’s urgent food security challenges by promoting integrated water resource management, enhancing agricultural practices and strengthening the livelihoods of vulnerable small-scale farmers and workers.

BookletEmergency responseUkraine: Emergency and Early Recovery Response Plan
2025–2026
2025Also available in:
No results found.As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, building resilient food systems and fostering early recovery remains a critical challenge, particularly in frontline oblasts, where agriculture-dependent communities face reduced local production, fluctuating food prices and an increasing reliance on external aid. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed the 2025–2026 Emergency and Early Recovery Response Plan (EERRP) to support the Government of Ukraine in mitigating the war’s impact on the agriculture sector and rural communities. Through its EERRP, FAO aims to mobilize USD 150 million to assist over 500 000 vulnerable people with emergency and early recovery support. The programme focuses on restoring food production, rebuilding critical value chains, and strengthening resilience by integrating small-scale farmers into key markets. This document outlines the context, planned interventions, expected outcomes, and implementation arrangements of the EERRP 2025–2026. -
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.
