Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCommunity Contingency Funds 2016CCFs are a risk protection and financial transfer mechanism that provide a form of agriculture risk insurance for those vulnerable households who do not have access to conventional financing systems. The CCFs resources are managed by producers’ associations with the purpose of funding income-generating activities and providing assistance to its members in case of unexpected extreme events, such as drought, hurricanes, floods, or other extreme events. This booklet describes the functioning of th e CCFs and the activities carried out under the Belgium-funded project OSRO/RLA/304/BEL “An integrative community disaster preparedness for sustainable resilient development of small farmers’ associations in climate related risk areas of Honduras and Guatemala”, for which NRC was LTU.

No results found.La nouvelle stratégie – pays du FIDA pour le Niger (COSOP 2013 – 2018) recentre les opérations du portefeuille sur l’amélioration durable de la sécurité alimentaire des ménages ruraux dans les régions de Maradi, Tahoua et Zinder. Elle se traduira par une approche-programme axée sur la mise en cohérence progressive des projets en voie de démarrage, en l’occurrence le Projet d’appui à la sécurité alimentaire dans la région de Maradi (PASADEM) et le Projet d’appui à la petite irrigation (Ruwanmu) d ans les trois régions. Ceux-ci feront place, à l’horizon 2015, à un programme unique dont les arrangements de mise en œuvre seront définis au moment de la formulation dudit programme. L’étude sur la finance rurale anticipe la conception de ce nouveau programme afin d’éclairer les choix stratégiques quant à la faisabilité et les mécanismes susceptibles de garantir une offre adéquate de services financiers dans la bande agropastorale. L’étude s’est organisée en trois étapes, avec (i) un état d es lieux de la finance au Niger ; (ii) la recherche d’options stratégiques sur la finance rurale pour le Programme FIDA et (iii) la proposition de mécanismes opérationnels à implémenter à travers les opérations du Programme FIDA au Niger. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportAnalyse de la résilience à Matam (Sénégal) 2016 2016
Also available in:
Ce rapport vise essentiellement à mettre en relief les principaux piliers de la résilience et leurs facteurs contributifs au niveau des ménages, en appliquant la seconde itération de la méthodologie intitulée Mesure et analyse de l’indice de résilience de la FAO (RIMA) - Mesure et analyse de l’indice de résilience II (RIMA-II). La deuxième partie de l’analyse examine le rôle des variables géoclimatiques, des chocs et d’autres caractéristiques des ménages vis-à-vis de la sécurité alimentaire et d e la capacité de résilience. Enfin , les résultats sont analysés à la lumière des politiques déjà en oeuvre à Matam et des futures politiques qui pourraient être élaborées et appliquées, compte tenu des groupes sociaux et géographiques dont l’étude a fait apparaître une résilience moindre.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
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.
