社会保護と農業―農村貧困の悪循環を断つ
2018貧困と飢餓の削減を掲げたミレニアム開発目標の取り組みでは、大きな 前進が見られたものの、世界では今なお10億人近くが極度の貧困（１日当 たり1.25ドル未満）の中で暮らし、７億9,500万人が慢性的な飢餓に苦し む。2030年までに貧困と飢餓の根絶を目指す新たな「持続可能な開発目 標」の実現には、更なる取り組みが必要だ。最貧層の多くは途上国の農村 部に暮らし、生計を農業に依存している。こうした人々は、貧困による栄 養失調が甚だしく、貧困が親から子へと世代を超えて引き継がれる負の 連鎖に陥っている。 多くの途上国は、こうした農村部の貧困の連鎖を断ち切るために、社会保 護と農業開発を組み合わせた新たな戦略を取り入れ、成果を上げている。 寡婦や孤児への給付金や、公共事業による貧困層への雇用保証といった 社会保護策は、こうした社会的・経済的弱者を深刻な困窮状態から救う ことができる。社会保護により、世帯は食料消費を増やし、食事を多様化 することができる。また、自分の土地での農業生産や新たな事業の立ち上 げのために、貯蓄や投資をすることもできる。農業開発プログラムは、 小規模家族農家が市場にアク セスしたり、リスクを管理するのを支援し、 雇用機会を創出することで、こうした家庭の自立を促し、レジリエンス （強靭性）を強化する。社会保護と農業振興を組み合わせ、一体的に取り 組むことで、農村部における貧困の連鎖を断ち切ることが可能となる。 -
Book (stand-alone)Flagship世界食料農業白書2009年報告 2010The livestock sector is transforming rapidly in response to shifts in the global economy and changing societal expectations. Society expects the livestock sector to provide safe and plentiful food and fibre for growing urban populations, livelihoods for more than a billion poor producers and traders as well as global public goods related to food security, environmental sustainability and animal-borne diseases. However, the rapid pace of change has led to unbalanced growth of the sector. This has manifested itself in a widening dichotomy within the sector in terms of the scale, intensity and efficiency of production and in unforeseen social, nutritional, animal health and environmental implications. These changes and the speed with which they are occurring have created systemic risks for livelihoods, human and animal health and the environment. To meet the challenges and constraints of the twenty-first century, the livestock sector requires appropriate in stitutions, research, development interventions and governance that reflect the diversity within the sector and the multiple demands placed upon it.

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.

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.
