Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntroductory course to Google Earth Engine 2022
Also available in:
No results found.FAO Pakistan in collaboration with the FAO headquarters Geospatial Unit is inviting to an introductory course on Google Earth Engine with the objective to provide the basic skills to operate the platform, select, pre-process and analyze satellite imagery relevant to agriculture and food security, in particular for the identification of specific crops in the land and more broadly for land cover mapping, by using an automatic classification approach. The Workshop is thought for specialists in the technical Departmental Units of Agriculture and Food Security. It requires an understanding of the main satellite missions and basic concepts of Remote Sensing. Limited knowledge of scripting language (e.g. Python, R) is a plus. It has the structure of a theoretical presentation and hands-on exercises on the Google Earth Engine code editor. -
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 (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all.
