DocumentFactsheetIncreasing agricultural production in Angola - UTF/ANG/047/ANG 2017With around 10 percent of Angola’s arable land currently under cultivation, the country’s agricultural productivity and crop yields are extremely low. Given that more than half of Angola’s poor are located in rural areas and depend almost exclusively on agriculture for their livelihood, it was fundamental to boost the agriculture sector’s institutional capacity, in particular in areas such as irrigation, policy analysis and agricultural statistics. FAO was approached with a view to establishing new farmer field schools in the provinces of Bié, Huambo and Malanje, as well as training master trainers in the target areas and establishing training curricula. The technical assistance and rural extension provided by the project was geared towards organizing farmers, strengthening markets and adopting the appropriate techniques and innovations to the local context, in an attempt to boost food and nutrition security.

DocumentFactsheetRelance de la Production Agro-Pastorale des Ménages Affectés par la Sécheresse en Angola - TCP ANG 3504 2018
Also available in:
No results found.L’Angola est confronté à de nombreux événements extrêmes récurrents, dont la sécheresse et les inondations. La situation s’est particulièrement aggravée durant l’année 2015 en raison des effets du phénomène El Niño. Les provinces de Cunene, Namibe et Huila ont été les plus affectées. La production agricole a drastiquement baissé pour toutes les cultures et la moitié des troupeaux a été décimée. Plus d’un million de personnes se sont ainsi retrouvées dans une situation d’insécurité alimentaire et de malnutrition. Le projet devait aider 1 000 ménages à relancer leur production agricole et leurs activités d’élevage, tout en fournissant un appui pour renforcer la résilience des populations les plus vulnérables. -
DocumentFactsheetPréparation du Recensement Général de l'Agriculture en Angola - TCP ANG 3502 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Le prochain recensement général de l’agriculture, de l’élevage et de la pêche (RGAEP) revêt une importance stratégique particulière pour l’Angola, où 85 pour cent de la population dépend de l’agriculture et où la production alimentaire, la sécurité alimentaire et la résilience au changement climatique constituent des priorités essentielles en raison de la vulnérabilité des populations et de la croissance démographique rapide. Le Gouvernement a besoin d’informations exactes sur l’agriculture afin d’évaluer la composition, la répartition et la croissance potentielle du secteur agricole, ainsi que pour prendre des décisions éclairées. Le projet visait à soutenir la phase de préparation administrative et technique du RGAEP.

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.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestGreenhouse gas emissions from agrifood systems
Global, regional and country trends, 2000–2020
2022Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems account for one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. They are generated in various ways: within the farm gate, through crop and livestock production; through land-use change; and in pre- and post-production processes, including food manufacturing, retail, household consumption and food disposal. According to the latest data, global agrifood systems emissions reached 16 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO2eq) in 2020, an increase of 9 percent since 2000.
