No results found.La situation alimentaire du bétail au Burkina Faso au cours de l’année 2018 a été marquée par d’énormes disparités provinciales en termes de disponibilités des ressources pastorales pour le bétail, 15 provinces du pays étant déficitaires. Il était estimé qu’au moins 207 150 têtes de bovins et 831 742 têtes de petits ruminants pouvaienten mourir. La valeur monétaire totale de ces pertes de bétail était estimée à 59 442 091 907 FCFA (soit 111 896 262 USD). Cela représente une perte significative affectant une population d’environ 954 315 personnes pauvres et très pauvres. Dans ce contexte, la FAO, conformément à sa mission et avec le Gouvernement du Burkina Faso, s’est proposée de mettre en œuvre le présent projet d’un montant de 500 000 USD afin de contribuer à réduire ces mortalités et, surtout, préserver le cheptel des plus vulnérables. -
BookletHigh-profileBurkina Faso | Plan de réponse (avril-décembre 2020)
Atténuer l’impact de la maladie à coronavirus 2019 (covid-19) sur la sécurité alimentaire
2020Also available in:
No results found.Depuis début janvier 2018, le Burkina Faso est confronté à une insécurité grandissante qui a engendré des mouvements massifs de population. C’est dans ce contexte complexe que, le 9 mars 2020, les premiers cas de personnes infectées par la pandémie de la covid-19 ont été confirmés. Dans un contexte déjà fragile, aujourd’hui exacerbé par la pandémie de la covid-19, il est essentiel d‘investir de manière adéquate et urgente dans les mécanismes de surveillance, d’alerte et de réponse, afin d’assurer une meilleure coordination et une assistance rapide en vue de protéger et de renforcer les moyens d’existence des ménages touchés et d’éviter la détérioration de l’insécurité alimentaire et de la propagation de la maladie.

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
