ProjectFactsheetPromouvoir l'intégration et l'adoption de pratiques de gestion durable des terres fondées sur des données probantes - GCP/GLO/337/GFF 2021Land degradation affects a considerable amount of agricultural area around the world, with nearly 2 billion ha estimated to be seriously degraded, in some cases, irreversibly so. Critically, land degradation reduces productivity and food security, disrupts vital ecosystem functions, negatively affects biodiversity and water resources, and increases carbon emissions and vulnerability to climate change. Despite this, there is limited documentation and evidence of the range of benefits generated by sustainable land management (SLM) practices across farming systems, which are ultimately necessary for convincing decision makers to invest in these measures. Using a collaborative approach involving FAO, the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT) and selected partners in the 15 participating countries (Argentina, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Lesotho, Morocco, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, and Uzbekistan), this GEF funded project focused on better understanding land degradation status, drivers and threats, and creating decision support tools for combatting desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) and promoting SLM.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePlanification des ressources foncières (LRP) pour lutter contre la dégradation des terres et promouvoir la gestion durable des terres (GDT) 2018Les défis grandissants de la croissance démographique, la concurrence entre divers acteurs pour des ressources réduites, la dégradation des terres, la perte de biodiversité et le changement climatique exigent une utilisation rationnelle des ressources pour soutenir et améliorer la productivité et maintenir des écosystèmes résilients. La disponibilité des outils et des informations nécessaires pour soutenir et répondre aux besoins des décideurs à différentes échelles, dans les divers secteurs et au niveau des acteurs, reste limitée. Les projets et initiatives de développement durable mis en œuvre par les partenaires fournisseurs de ressources et les gouvernements exigent des outils de planification des ressources foncières qui intègrent tous les secteurs, optimisent l'utilisation de la technologie, introduisent des pratiques de GDT et suivent une approche multi-échelles centrée sur les personnes. La fiche d' informations souhaite illustrer les outils et les approches de la planification des ressources foncières.

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.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
