No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentFAO journalOù en est l'aménagement des forêts tropicales humides? 1987L'article principal de ce numro, O en est l'amnagement des forts tropicales?, est le troisime d'une srie traitant de l'amnagement des forts tropicales humides. Dans cet article, M. R. Schmidt, forestier la FAO, examine les aspects techniques de l'amnagement des forts tropicales naturelles partir des tudes et rapports rcents de la FAO sur les projets nationaux, achevs ou en cours, ayant bnfici de l'aide de la FAO dans ce domaine. Il conclut que rares sont les programmes abandonns pour des raiso ns techniques et qu'en fait il existe encore, dans 36 pays tropicaux au moins, de vastes forts naturelles humides o il est possible d'appliquer des mthodes d'amnagement intensif qui se justifient tant sur le plan technique que sur le plan conomique.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyÉvaluation des moteurs de la déforestation et de la dégradation des forêts en Afrique de l’Ouest
Méthodologie et principaux résultats
2025Also available in:
Ce rapport présente la méthodologie et les principales conclusions d’une évaluation menée entre 2015 et 2020 pour identifier les causes principales de la déforestation et de la dégradation des forêts en Afrique de l’Ouest. Élaborée dans le cadre du projet « Transformation mondiale des forêts pour les populations et le climat », cette évaluation appuie la gouvernance forestière régionale en fournissant des informations solides, participatives et fondées sur les données.Combinant une revue systématique de la littérature avec une analyse spatiale à l’aide d’images satellite à haute résolution et d’outils open source tels que SEPAL et Collect Earth, la méthodologie a permis d’identifier les changements d’occupation des sols et de couverture forestière sur 64 000 parcelles échantillons. Des experts nationaux des pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest ont contribué à la hiérarchisation et à l’interprétation des facteurs de changement, garantissant ainsi la pertinence locale et l’appropriation du processus.Les résultats révèlent que l’agriculture à petite échelle, l’exploitation forestière et les incendies sont les principaux moteurs du changement forestier, intervenant souvent en combinaison sur une même parcelle. Ces conclusions mettent en évidence la complexité des processus de déforestation et de dégradation et soulignent la nécessité de réponses intégrées. L’étude cartographie également la répartition spatiale des moteurs dans les différents pays et propose des recommandations pour l’adaptation nationale de la méthodologie, l’intégration dans les politiques et l’engagement communautaire.Cette évaluation offre un cadre reproductible pour comprendre la perte des forêts en Afrique de l’Ouest et ouvre la voie à un suivi et à une gestion des forêts plus ciblés et fondés sur la science, aux niveaux national et régional.

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)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. -
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.
