Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Глобальная программа «Доктора для почв»
2022Этот плакат один из информационных материалов для фермеров в рамках Глобальной Почвенной программы "доктора почв". Программа представляет собой форму обучения от фермера к фермеру, и плакат будет использоваться фермерами для обучения и изучения функций почвы и проблем, связанных с почвами. Этот плакат представляет, как управлять почвами, подверженными воздействию соли, и соответствует выполнению Добровольных Руководящих принципов по устойчивому управлению почвами и поддержанию здоровых почв и безопасности пищевых продуктов в соответствии с Целями устойчивого развития и Стратегическими целями ФАО. Это способствует усилиям по искоренению голода, недоедания, адаптации к изменению климата, деградации земель и общему устойчивому развитию. Это также вносит вклад в стратегические рамки ФАО, особенно в ПП 1, 2. -
Book (series)Technical studyNational Gender Profile of Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods - Turkey 2016
Also available in:
The National Gender Profile of Agricultural and Rural Livelihoods is part of the project GCP/SEC/008/TUR, which contributes to the Regional Initiative 1 for the REU Region and to the SO3 by improving knowledge for evidence-based policies. The purpose of the National Gender Profile of Agricultural and Rural Livelihoods - Turkey is to contribute to the production of knowledge for better informed, targeted and gender sensitive actions in agriculture and rural development. It is meant to inform F AO professionals, other UN agencies, staff from the government of Kyrgyzstan, NGOs and professionals who work in agriculture and rural development in Turkey. It is also meant to be an awareness-raising tool for the wider public. This national profile points out some of the major gender inequalities that need to be considered by policy makers and project managers according to available data, and identifies further research needs. Within the project, national gender profiles of agricultural and r ural livelihoods have been produced for Turkey, Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic.
