ProjectFactsheetAppui d’urgence aux ménages vulnérables affectés par les inondations, le déficit fourrager et céréalier et la crise sécuritaire au Niger en 2019 - TCP/NER/3709 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Le contexte humanitaire au Niger est marqué par des crises régulières résultant de causes à la fois structurelles, telles qu’une pauvreté élevée, l’insécurité alimentaire et de fortes prévalences de la malnutrition, et conjoncturelles, telles que des inondations répétées, la résurgence de maladies à potentiel épidémique ainsi que des mouvements de populations forcés exacerbés par la crise sécuritaire à laquelle fait face le Niger La persistance de l’état d’urgence et des mesures sécuritaires associées, telles que la fermeture des marchés, le manque d’accès des populations aux pâturages et aux champs, et l’impact économique de la fermeture de la frontière avec le Nigéria, sont des facteurs aggravants supplémentaires. -
ProjectFactsheetAssistance d’urgence pour le renforcement des moyens d’existence des éleveurs vulnérables affectés par la sécheresse - TCP/CVI/3608 2021
Also available in:
No results found.En raison d’une pluviométrie irrégulière et déficitaire, la campagne agricole caboverdienne de 2017/2018 a été la pire enregistrée au cours des quatre dernières décennies. Plusieurs missions d’évaluation conduites fin 2017 ont observé une quasi-disparition des zones de pâturage et une sévère diminution de la production fourragère, mettant à risque à très court terme les moyens d’existence des éleveurs. Le Gouvernement a rapidement mis en place un programme d’urgence dont la composante «Sauvetage du bétail» a été confiée à la FAO. L’aide d'urgence apportée par la FAO visait à améliorer la situation sanitaire du cheptel appartenant à 2 435 ménages d’éleveurs vulnérables identifiés sur les îles de Santiago, São Nicolau, Boavista et Brava. Il s’agissait en outre de renforcer les capacités nationales en matière de gestion des risques et des catastrophes liés au secteur agricole et de développer une communication efficace à destination des éleveurs sur cette même thématique. -
ProjectFactsheetAssistance d’urgence aux ménages agropastoraux vulnérables en appui au plan d’urgence 2018 - TCP/MAU/3702 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Le déficit pluviométrique enregistré en 2017 a eu des conséquences désastreuses sur les moyens de subsistance des éleveurs mauritaniens. Or l’élevage constitue l’un des piliers de l’économie nationale et est la principale source de revenus de 60 à 70 pour cent de la population. La situation de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des populations vulnérables dans le sud du pays était préoccupante. Le projet visait à renforcer la résilience de 7 200 ménages pastoraux dans neuf villages des régions du Gorgol, du Guidimakha, de l’Assaba et du Brakna affectés par la crise alimentaire, afin de leur permettre de faire face à la période de soudure de 2018 et, à plus long terme, d’améliorer leur pratique des cultures fourragères et leurs conditions d’approvisionnement en eau.

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. -
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. -
