Book (series)Technical studyAgriculture 4.0 – Agricultural robotics and automated equipment for sustainable crop production 2020This report presents and reflects on the opportunities that new technological developments related to automation and precision agriculture (e.g. robotics) can offer to agriculture in developing countries. These technologies are mainly targeted to support farmers that struggle with the cost of labour when harvesting crops and to tackle the declining availability of manpower for general cropping operations. This report also explores the possible applications of agricultural technology, presents the current trends and discusses some of the principle challenges to successful adoption for sustainable agricultural mechanization in developing countries.

Also available in:
Le Programme de Gestion durable de la faune sauvage (SWM) vise à réduire la chasse de la faune sauvage à des niveaux durables, à protéger les espèces sauvages en danger, à protéger la biodiversité, à maintenir le rôle écologique essentiel joué par la faune dans les écosystèmes forestiers et de la savane et finalement, à protéger les stocks et les services écosystémiques qui sont essentiels aux moyens d'existence des communautés locales. Le SWM Programme a été publiquement lancé à l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) en octobre 2017. Financé par l’Union européenne grâce au 11ème Fond Européen de Développement (45 millions d’EUR), le programme est une initiative de sept ans du Groupe des États d'Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (ACP). Le programme mobilise un important groupe d’organisations partenaires ayant une expertise solide dans les domaines de la conservation de la faune sauvage, la sécurité alimentaire et le développement de politiques. Le programme est mis en œuvre par la FAO, le Centre français de recherche pour le développement international (CIRAD), le Centre de recherche forestière internationale (CIFOR) et la Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Le Programme SWM est présent dans douze pays de l’ACP (Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, République démocratique du Congo, République du Congo, Sénégal, Soudan, Tchad, Zambie et Zimbabwe). -

Seasonal rainfall in 2012/13 was better than in any of the previous five years, especially in the northern cereal-producing governorates. „h Relatively less area was planted to cereals, compared to the last ten years. Contributing factors include high costs of production, reduced input availability including labour, prevailing violence, related damage to farm equipment, and abandoned land. The area under irrigated cereal production also declined significantly owing to power cuts, and damage to power stations, canals, and pumps; and high diesel costs. „h The supply chain of wheat is severely affected. Road transport is becoming increasingly expensive and is often unsafe, and less than one-third of the Government's wheat collection centres are operational. Most flour mills and bakeries are either no longer operating, or are operating at low capacity. Only 1 in 4 yeast factories is operational.
