ProjectFactsheetProgramme de renforcement des capacités des pays à identifier et faire le suivi des incidents relatifs aux préparations pesticides extrêmement dangereuses (PPED) et hautement dangereux (HHP, HIGHLY HAZARDOUS PESTICIDES) et promouvoir les alternatives nécessaires aux PPED ET HHP - TCP/SFC/3701 2023

No results found.L’intensification de la production agricole aujourd’hui n’est plus envisageable sans l’adoption de technologies appropriées dans la lutte contre les ravageurs des cultures, mais depuis longtemps, la lutte contre ces ennemis des cultures repose principalement sur l’utilisation de pesticides de synthèse. Or, dans de nombreux pays d’Afrique centrale, les Préparations pesticides extrêmement dangereuses (PPED) ne peuvent être employées en toute sécurité au vu des conditions d’utilisation et causent d’importants problèmes de santé publique et d’environnement. L’Article 6 de la Convention de Rotterdam prévoit une procédure précise pour proposer d’inscrire une PPED au répertoire et rapporter les incidents touchant la santé humaine et environnementale. Un nombre croissant de Parties ont exprimé dans leur plan national un besoin d’assistance pour traiter les nombreux cas d’empoisonnement sévère dus aux pesticides et développer des alternatives aux Pesticides hautement dangereux (HHP). -
ProjectFactsheetPromoting Ecologically-Based Alternatives to Highly Hazardous Pesticides to Enhance Food Safety and Security in the Pacific Region - TCP/SAP/3803 2024

No results found.Boosting food production in the Pacific Islands is a key strategy for increasing food security, economic stability and resilience to shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, food imports and supply chains were disrupted and access to fresh produce was severely impacted, posing serious concerns for food security. It was therefore essential that the agricultural sector in the larger islands in the Pacific be revived. Central to agricultural growth are sustainable pest management strategies and robust and functioning biosecurity systems. Previous agricultural intensification efforts have however led to modest and short-lived yield gains in the region. The average yields of vegetables in Fiji are still from four to seven times lower than those in neighbouring countries, such as New Zealand and Australia. The lack of effective and sustainable pest management strategies in the Pacific is a serious limit to agricultural growth. Plant pests, including invasive and emerging pests, continue to take a significant toll on crop productivity in the region. International trade and climate change create new pathways and ecological niches that facilitate the establishment and spread of pests and diseases into new geographical areas. -

No results found.La pêche joue un rôle majeur dans la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle en Guinée Bissau, et contribue aux moyens d’existence d’une bonne partie de la population Son potentiel économique est important Or depuis le 31 décembre 2000 la Guinée Bissau a été exclue de la liste des pays pouvant exporter leurs produits de la pêche vers les États membres de l’Union européenne à cause de son incapacité à respecter les exigences de l’Union en matière de sécurité sanitaire des produits de la pêche Cette exclusion pèse lourdement sur l’économie nationale et freine le développement du secteur de la pêche du pays.

Année internationale des fruits et des légumes, 2021, note d’information
2021L'Année internationale des fruits et des légumes 2021, proclamée par l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies par la Résolution 74/244, entend sensibiliser le public, attirer l’attention des décideurs et faciliter la mise en commun de bonnes pratiques sur les bienfaits de la consommation de fruits et de légumes pour la santé et la nutrition, sur leur contribution à des régimes alimentaires et des modes de vie diversifiés, équilibrés et sains, ainsi que sur la nécessité de réduire les pertes et le gaspillage de fruits et de légumes. En plus de donner un aperçu des effets bénéfiques de la consommation de fruits et de légumes, le présent document propose un examen des différents aspects du secteur des fruits et des légumes sous l’angle d’une approche axée sur les systèmes alimentaires, allant de la production et du commerce durables de ces denrées à la gestion des pertes et du gaspillage. Le document dresse un panorama du secteur et fournit un cadre qui servira de base aux débats dans la perspective de la célébration de l’Année internationale, en mettant en évidence les liens qui unissent les parties prenantes et les enjeux sur lesquels il faudra agir en priorité. -

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

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. -
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.
