In Burkina Faso, over 16 percent of the population is expected to be in high acute food insecurity during this year’s lean season, if appropriate assistance isn’t provided. This will include, for the first time, 19 867 people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Around 4 in 5 people rely on agriculture for subsistence, and need urgent support to restore food production. Every USD 1 spent on supporting farmers with a vegetable production package yields over 20 times its value in cabbages, onions and tomatoes. -

In Burkina Faso, insecurity continues to spread across the country, making it increasingly difficult for vulnerable populations to access humanitarian assistance. Millions of people have been forced from their homes and nearly 13 percent of the population is acutely food insecure. About 64 percent of agropastoral households have reported a decrease in the number of their livestock – a key asset for their food and income – due to animal death or distress sale. Providing them with feed and veterinary supplies is crucial to restore their production and ensure their self-reliance. -

Also available in:
In Burkina Faso, persistent insecurity, climate change and economic constraints are directly affecting the livelihoods and living conditions of millions of people. This is forcing populations, particularly internally displaced people, to adopt negative coping mechanisms. It is therefore urgent to provide agricultural assistance to the most vulnerable households to enable them to quickly produce food to meet their basic needs and strengthen their resilience.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2020
Overcoming water challenges in agriculture
2020Intensifying water constraints threaten food security and nutrition. Thus, urgent action is needed to make water use in agriculture more sustainable and equitable. Irrigated agriculture remains by far the largest user of freshwater, but scarcity of freshwater is a growing problem owing to increasing demand and competition for freshwater resources. At the same time, rainfed agriculture is facing increasing precipitation variability driven by climate change. These trends will exacerbate disputes among water users and inequality in access to water, especially for small-scale farmers, the rural poor and other vulnerable populations. The State of Food and Agriculture 2020 presents new estimates on the pervasiveness of water scarcity in irrigated agriculture and of water shortages in rainfed agriculture, as well as on the number of people affected. It finds major differences across countries, and also substantial spatial variation within countries. This evidence informs a discussion of how countries may determine appropriate policies and interventions, depending on the nature and magnitude of the problem, but also on other factors such as the type of agricultural production system and countries’ level of development and their political structures. Based on this, the publication provides guidance on how countries can prioritize policies and interventions to overcome water constraints in agriculture, while ensuring efficient, sustainable and equitable access to water. -

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. -

Making agrifood systems more resilient to shocks and stresses
2021The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of agrifood systems to shocks and stresses and led to increased global food insecurity and malnutrition. Action is needed to make agrifood systems more resilient, efficient, sustainable and inclusive.The State of Food and Agriculture 2021 presents country-level indicators of the resilience of agrifood systems. The indicators measure the robustness of primary production and food availability, as well as physical and economic access to food. They can thus help assess the capacity of national agrifood systems to absorb shocks and stresses, a key aspect of resilience.The report analyses the vulnerabilities of food supply chains and how rural households cope with risks and shocks. It discusses options to minimize trade-offs that building resilience may have with efficiency and inclusivity. The aim is to offer guidance on policies to enhance food supply chain resilience, support livelihoods in the agrifood system and, in the face of disruption, ensure sustainable access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to all.
