DocumentFactsheetRestauration de la production de fruits et de legumes pour les agriculteurs de Swaziland- TCP/SWA/3501 2017Au cours de la dernière décennie, les faibles précipitations et la menace persistante du changement climatique ont généré une insécurité alimentaire affectant 21 pourcent du Swaziland, avec la quasi-totalité de la population ne mangeant pas suffisamment de fruits et de légumes. Les agriculteurs ruraux qui ont une connaissance limitée de la façon de maximiser la productivité de leurs terres et de s’assurer qu’elles répondent à leurs besoins alimentaires et nutritionnels, doivent améliorer d’urgence la diversité des cultures pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire et leurs besoins alimentaires. Parallèlement, la valeur des produits agricoles importés a dépassé cinq fois celle des exportations entre 2005 et 2013. Ces facteurs exigent de promouvoir des pratiques agricoles respectueuses du climat et de renforcer la résilience et d’accroître les revenus que les agriculteurs tirent de l’agriculture.

DocumentFactsheetTraining farmers and enhancing Food Security in Swaziland - TCP/SWA/3502 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture has traditionally been the backbone of Swaziland’s economy but has experienced severe decline. Its contribution to GDP has decreased gradually over the last two decades due to a number of factors, including recurring drought, chronic underinvestment and the impact of HIV and AIDS. Despite this, agriculture-based products account for around 75 percent of the country’s total export revenues. With key extension officers lacking the skills to disseminate nutrition and gender-sensitive agricultural technologies and practices, the project sought to strengthen national capacities through the establishment of Farmer Field Schools, with farmer representatives trained as facilitators in order to support on-the-ground activities using this approach. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
