No results found.De bonnes pluies continuent de tomber sur les principales zones productrices du Sahel, provoquant des inondations localises en aot dans plusieurs rgions. Lhumidit du sol a gnralement t suffisante depuis le dbut de la saison de vgtation pour permettre un bon dveloppement des cultures et les perspectives de rcolte restent dans lensemble favorables au Burkina Faso, en Gambie, en Guine-Bissau, au Mali, en Mauritanie, au Niger, au Sngal et au Tchad. Les pturages se sont bien rgnrs et ltat du btail se st amlior. En revanche, au Cap-Vert, le mas rcemment sem na pas pris dans certains endroits, par suite de pluies irrgulires en aot. Seuls quelques acridiens sont signals dans les zones de reproduction estivales au Sahel, sauf au Tchad o des essaims se sont forms cause des bonnes pluies et des conditions favorables la reproduction.. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSuivi de l'hivernage au Sahel, Rapport No. 4, septembre 2004 2004
Also available in:
Suite aux pluies insuffisantes et erratiques qui ont retardé les semis dans plusieurs pays en juin, la pluviométrie s’est améliorée de manière significative depuis le mois de juillet. Les pluies sont restées généralement régulières et bien réparties en août et début septembre dans la plupart des zones de production agricole du Burkina Faso, Gambie, Guinée-Bissau, Mali, Mauritanie, Niger et Sénégal, où le développement des cultures est satisfaisant. Avec les premières pluies enregistrées à la mi- juillet, le Cap-Vert est le seul pays où les pluies sont restées insuffisantes et où les rendements potentiels pourraient être affectés. Compte tenu des bonnes conditions pluviométriques observées dans le Sahel en août et début septembre, des récoltes supérieures à la moyenne sont attendues, mais la menace acridienne continue de peser sur la production agricole. -

Apr¨¨s un d¨¦marrage pr¨¦coce des pr¨¦cipitations en mai dans l'est du Sahel, les pluies sont rest¨¦es irr¨¦guli¨¨res au Burkina-Faso, au Tchad, au Mali et au Niger jusqu'¨¤ la troisi¨¨me d¨¦cade de juin. Les semis ont ¨¦t¨¦ retard¨¦s et il a fallu r¨¦ensemencer en plusieurs endroits du fait des pluies irr¨¦guli¨¨res. Malgr¨¦ une certaine am¨¦lioration des pr¨¦cipitations ¨¤ la fin juin/d¨¦but juillet, la saison des pluies n'est pas encore bien ¨¦tablie et le potentiel de rendement pourrai t ¨ºtre compromis dans plusieurs r¨¦gions si la pluviosit¨¦ ne s'am¨¦liore pas consid¨¦rablement au cours des prochaines semaines. Dans l'ouest du Sahel, o¨´ la campagne agricole d¨¦marre g¨¦n¨¦ralement plus tard, la situation n'est gu¨¨re meilleure. Des pr¨¦cipitations sont tomb¨¦es en juin en Guin¨¦e-Bissau, en Gambie, en Mauritanie et au S¨¦n¨¦gal, mais les estimations tir¨¦es des images satellite indiquent que la plupart de ces pays enregistrent des d¨¦ficits significatifs qui pourra ient compromettre les semis et le d¨¦veloppement des cultures, s'il ne pleut pas davantage en juillet1. Un temps sec de saison r¨¨gne toujours au Cap-Vert, o¨´ la saison des pluies d¨¦marre habituellement en juillet. La situation des criquets p¨¨lerins est calme mais une reproduction ¨¤ petite ¨¦chelle devrait commencer avec l'arriv¨¦e des pluies dans le sud de la Mauritanie, le nord du Niger et du Mali, ainsi que dans l'est du Tchad. Bien qu'une ins¨¦curit¨¦ alimentaire localis¨¦e soit signal¨¦e dans quelques pays, notamment au Tchad, en Guin¨¦e-Bissau, en Mauritanie et au Niger, principalement en raison de l'ins¨¦curit¨¦ et du manque d'acc¨¨s, la situation des approvisionnements alimentaires reste dans l'ensemble satisfaisante dans la plupart des pays de la sous-r¨¦gion, suite ¨¤ l'abondante r¨¦colte c¨¦r¨¦ali¨¨re rentr¨¦e en 2006.

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. -
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)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
