No results found.Le projet a permis de progresser vers la mise aux normes de la qualité des eaux traitées. Cette source d’irrigation doit à terme permettre le développement de la production, de la commercialisation et de la consommation, à l’échelle nationale et en toute sécurité sanitaire, de produits agricoles de qualité et ainsi augmenter les revenus des agriculteurs. Les nouvelles technologies utilisées doivent encore être diffusés au niveau national et être intégrés dans les prochains plans de développement du pays afin de contribuer à l’autonomisation des populations rurales et à l’amélioration de la résilience face au stress hydrique. Le projet a d’ores et déjà incité la construction ou la réhabilitation de nouvelles stations d'épuration, notamment grâce au financement de la Coopération luxembourgeoise. -
ProjectFactsheetProjet d’appui à l’intensification durable de la production à travers des systèmes de cultures protégés, adaptés, et à la sensibilisation sur les bonnes pratiques d’irrigation en zones urbaines d’Afrique centrale - TCP/SFC/3805 2025
Also available in:
La région Afrique subsaharienne compte actuellement plus de 950 millions d’habitants, représentant environ 13 pour cent de la population mondiale. Cette proportion devrait augmenter à près de 22 pour cent d'ici 2050, atteignant environ 2,1 milliards de personnes. L'urbanisation s'est accélérée en l'espace de deux ou trois générations, mais dans de nombreux pays, la croissance de la population urbaine n'est pas le résultat d'une prospérité économique, mais plutôt de taux de natalité élevés et d'un afflux massif de populations rurales fuyant la faim, la pauvreté et l'insécurité. -
ProjectFactsheetAppui à l’amélioration des moyens d’existence et la résilience climatique par l’irrigation collinaire en province Kirundo - TCP/BDI/3802 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Le Burundi est un petit pays à vocation essentiellement agricole où plus de 90 pour cent de la population tire l’essentiel de sa subsistance et de ses revenus de l’agriculture et de l’élevage. La production agricole nationale est déficitaire en raison de la forte densité de population (qui dépasse 400 habitants par kilomètre carré dans certaines provinces) et de l’exiguïté des terres cultivables, d’où un taux élevé de malnutrition dans certaines régions. Face à cette situation, il est impératif de trouver des solutions alternatives pouvant permettre d’accroître et de diversifier la production agricole, d’améliorer les revenus des producteurs burundais et la santé nutritionnelle des populations, tout en s’adaptant aux défis du changement climatique. La province de Kirundo souffre d’un déficit hydrique permanent depuis 2002, avec des répercussions sur la production qui menacent gravement la sécurité alimentaire des populations. Le MINEGRAIE a identifié l’irrigation collinaire comme l’une des solutions possibles à cette situation et a sélectionné les communes de Kirundo et Busoni comme zones prioritaires. Dans ce cadre, le Gouvernement a sollicité l’appui technique et financier de la FAO pour la mise en œuvre d’un projet de coopération technique (PCT) visant à appuyer l’amélioration des moyens d'existence et la résilience climatique par l'irrigation collinaire en province Kirundo au Burundi.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
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. -
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.
