Policy briefPolicy briefPromoting productive water use and efficient water management in paddy fields 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The brief “Promoting productive water use and efficient water management in paddy fields” synthetizes the conclusions of the project “Efficient agricultural water use and management enhancement in paddy fields”. The brief summarizes the project objectives, the situation of paddy production in the participating countries, the lessons learnt from the assessment of paddy production in the context of agricultural water management, and the future actions. Funded by the Government of Japan, Phase I of the project is implemented by the Land and Water Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in collaboration with partners and national institutions in Sri Lanka and Zambia. The project is expected to increase the understanding of the current status of water use efficiency and water productivity in the two countries, identifying both limits and potentials at national level. The analysis forms a base in assisting countries with technical and policy support to enhance water resources management in paddy fields. Strategies and investment portfolios are developed to ensuring the scaling-up and replication of the results within and outside the target countries and regions. -

Promoting productive water use and efficient water management in paddy fields
2025Also available in:
No results found.As global water demand rises, efficient irrigation is crucial for sustainable agriculture, especially for water-intensive crops like rice. The project “Promoting productive water use and efficient water management in paddy fields,” funded by the Government of Japan and implemented by the FAO, aims to enhance productivity in Sri Lanka and Zambia by improving water use efficiency. Through pilot sites, the initiative showcases effective water management practices, strengthen stakeholder capacities, and promotes value-added paddy fields. The project seeks to bolster crop yields, food security, and economic stability in rural areas, ultimately serving as a benchmark for effective water management and influencing policy decisions.

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.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.
