Applied Work. EASYPol Module 112
2010Also available in:
No results found.This module presents a Case Study of a Carbon-Balance Appraisal for an investment programme. It is useful for people who wish to improve their skills on how to estimate the climate change mitigation potential of agricultural programmes/projects and how to integrate it into the economic analysis of projects. This case is part of a set of documents which intend to provide support project developers in the process of learning and applying the EX-Ante Carbon balance Tool (EX-ACT). More specifically, the EX-ACT application was tested on a FAO Programme in Madagascar and the results are demonstrated in this Case Study, which consists of a brief description of the project, guidelines for structuring project data and an appendix with project data. -
DocumentWorking paperTransaction Costs, Institutions and Smallholder Market Integration: Potato Producers in Peru 2005
Also available in:
No results found.The paper analyses the impacts of transaction costs on the degree of household market integration using survey data collected from smallholder potato farmers located in the Peruvian Andes. The analysis focuses on the impacts of transaction costs differentiated as information, negotiation and monitoring costs. Two proxies are used to measure the degree of market integration of households, namely quantity sold in the market and sales in large markets. The results show that, in addition to transpor t costs and market prices, information, negotiation and monitoring costs affect market integration. The study reinforces previous results and sheds light on possible policy options to support smallholders in improving their access to national and global markets. -

Book (series)Flagship2020年世界粮食安全和营养状况
实现粮食体系转型，保障经济型健康膳食
2020由于更新了很多国家的数据，今年我们能更精确地对世界饥饿状况进行估算。尤其是新数据的出现帮助我们对中国2000年以来所有食物不足系列年度估计数进行了重新修订，大幅调低了世界食物不足人数。尽管如此，修订后的数字仍印证了以往几期报告中提出的趋势：全球饥饿人口数量自2014年起一直呈缓慢增加趋势。报告还显示，各种形式营养不良带来的负担依然是一项挑战。虽然在儿童发育迟缓、低出生体重和纯母乳喂养相关方面已取得一定进展，但进展速度依然过慢。在所有区域，儿童超重问题尚未得到改善，成人肥胖问题则不断加重。本报告除了对粮食安全和营养状况进行常规评估外，还增加了在假设过去十年趋势持续不变的情况下，对2030年世界前景的预测。预测结果表明，我们的世界难以到2030年实现零饥饿目标，同时，尽管已经取得一定进展，但多数指标表明我们也无法实现全球营养目标。由于COVID-19疫情对健康和社会经济造成影响，多数弱势群体的粮食安全和营养状况很可能进一步恶化。本报告聚焦于膳食质量，将其视为粮食安全和营养之间的关键联系。要想实现可持续发展目标2项下的各项目标，就必须保证人人都能获得充足的食物，同时还要吃得起营养食物。报告还新增了对不同区域、不同发展背景下世界各地健康膳食的成本和经济可负担性的分析。报告对当前食物消费方式的健康和气候变化相关成本进行估值，并介绍一旦转向有助于可持续性的健康膳食后可能节约的成本。报告最后探讨粮食系统转型相关政策和战略，以确保人们能够负担得起健康膳食，从而为消除饥饿和一切形式营养不良做出贡献。 -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFAO Coffee Pocketbook 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Coffee has become an important contributor to cash income for many smallholders, who produce most of the world’s beans. Today, the annual output has reached almost nine million tonnes, one million tonnes more than a decade ago. The gross value of production of green coffee now exceeds US$16 billion, its export value reached US$24 billion in 2012. While rising demand offers unprecedented opportunities to growers, they also have to live up to a growing set of challenges. Many are confronted with i nadequate access to credit, high price volatility, bureaucratic hurdles at home and market barriers abroad. And they are operating in a global value chain where a vast and often unorganized number of growers are exposed to the market power of a small number of traders and roasters. As if that were not enough, many smallholders find it hard to cope with the vagaries of weather from year to year and the deteriorating growing conditions brought about by climate change over the longer-term. This Cof fee Pocketbook puts numbers to these developments, assesses short-term changes and long-term trends in production, consumption, trade and prices, and provides useful background information on related shifts in poverty, health and rural development. It is part of the FAO Statistical Yearbook suite of products and is organized around two major sections: thematic spreads with data-driven visualizations, and comprehensive country and regional profiles.
