ProjectFactsheetSupporting Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) - GCP/GLO/933/MUL 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) is an informal partnership designed to facilitate coordination among international partners and developing countries that seek to improve their capacity in National Forest Monitoring Systems and associated emissions measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) procedures. The GFOI Office is responsible for the overall coordination and administration of GFOI and, since late 2015, has been based at FAO headquarters in Rome. The aim of the current project was to provide secretariat services and day to day oversight of the broader GFOI partnership on behalf of its members, components and activities. The project would function as a focal point for the Initiative, facilitate its overall operations and ultimately help its partners to deliver coordinated support on forest monitoring and MRV in a targeted, efficient and effective manner. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileThe Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Water scarcity is one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Agriculture is both a cause and a casualty of water scarcity. It accounts for an estimated 70 percent of global water withdrawals, with freshwater resources heavily stressed by irrigation and food production. While demand for water for agriculture and other uses are increasing rapidly, climate change also affects fresh water resources negatively both in terms of quantity and quality. More frequent and severe dro ughts are having an impact on agricultural production, while rising temperatures translate into increased crop water demand. Water use is growing at more than twice the rate of population increase, and a 60 percent surge in food demand is expected by 2050. There is an urgent need, therefore, to address water scarcity. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
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.
