DocumentTechnical reportAQUASTAT - Comprendre AQUASTAT, le système mondial d'information sur l'eau de la FAO 2014Cette note d’information couvre vingt années de collecte et d’analyse de données sur l’eau et de diusion de ces statis - tiques en tant que bien public international, librement accessible à tous. La principale base de données par pays sur les ressources en eau et leur utilisation – dont la présentation de façon uniforme constitue en soi un dé majeur – sert de plateforme pour l’utilisation et la présentation de plus de 180 variables et indicateurs qui peuvent être recherchés et extraits pour t ous les pays et diérentes régions sur une longue période de temps. Le processus de collecte et de vérica - tion des données a débouché sur l’établissement d’un réseau unique de collaborateurs qui fournissent des données, utilisent les données d’autres pays à des ns de comparaison et échangent des points de vues et expériences sur les meilleurs moyens de quantier et de rendre compte de l’utilisation des ressources hydriques. Le système compte un large éventail d’utilisateurs, allant de société s privées internationales à des organisations non gouvernementales, et pratique - ment tous les rapports importants touchant à l’eau dépendent des données fournies par AQUASTAT. L’emploi de nouvelles technologies permettra d’améliorer la disponibilité des données et d’orir aux utilisateurs de nouvelles voies pour l’obtention des statistiques mais la structure et l’expérience sur lesquelles repose AQUASTAT demeureront des éléments centraux et fondamentaux pour l’organisation de ces données et l eur libre distribution internationale.

Politiques de l'eau et agriculture
1993Dans de nombreuses régions du monde, les ressources en eau de plus en plus limitées et la mauvaise utilisation de l’eau douce mettent en péril le développement durable. Plus des deux tiers de l’eau prélevée dans les fleuves, lacs et nappes aquifères étant utilisés pour l’irrigation, l’agriculture est de plus en plus considérée comme la soupape de sécurité du système. Le chapitre spécial de cette année, Politiques de l’eau et agriculture, examine les incidences de politique de la concurrence accr ue, des conflits, des pénuries, des déchets, de la surexploitation et de la dégradation des ressources hydriques. Il se penche ensuite sur les diverses options de politiques de l’eau qui s’offrent aux responsables agricoles.

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
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.
