Synopsis (short abstract) This is the third edition of the “Summary of the World Food and Agricultural Statistics”, a publication which arose following a request of the FAO Director-General to compile a broad range of statistics pertaining to world food and agriculture. These statistics show, wherever appropriate, the differences between the developed and developing countries, the continents and the regions. Initially the related tables were compiled and regularly updated for the personal use of the Director-Gene ral. However, as the information presented has become of more general interest, it has been decided to publish the tables in the form of a document. It is hoped that managers and policy makers dealing in international issues relating to food and agriculture will find the document useful. The tables are organized in sets corresponding to 10 sections entitled as follows: 1) Agriculture Macro-Economic Indicators 2) Population and Labour Force 3) Land Use and Agricultural Inputs 4) W ater Resources and Irrigation 5) Agricultural Production and Trade 6) Forestry Production and Trade 7) Fishery Production and Trade 8) Food Nutrition and Food Security 9) Projections 10) Selected Food and Agricultural Indicators by Country

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.
