No results found.This document, Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium, forms a key component of the standardized, one-curriculum package developed for the Climate-Smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative in Jordan.Launched under the "Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan" (BRCCJ) project, this initiative empowers smallholder farmers to enhance water use efficiency and adapt to climate change. The comprehensive curriculum comprises six distinct parts, providing a structured framework for disseminating climate-smart agriculture (CSA) knowledge and technologies. The one-curriculum package has six parts, namely, Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium, Part 2: Climate-smart practices catalogues, Part 3: Climate-smart Farmer Field School one-curriculum, Part 4: Climate-smart Farmer Field School standard operating procedures, Part 5: Climate-smart Farmer Field School data recording and governance, and Part 6: Climate-smart Farmer Field School digital support.This compendium, Part 1, outlines a range of potential CSA practices spanning the entire agricultural value chain, aligning with Jordan's National CSA Action Plan. By promoting climate resilience, it aims to boost food security, ensure sustainable agricultural production, and improve livelihoods. This resource serves as a practical guide for farmers and facilitators participating in the FFS modules, offering a pathway towards a more resilient and sustainable agriculture sector in Jordan. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGood practices for integrating gender equality and women’s empowerment in climate-smart agriculture programmes 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This guidance entitled Integrating Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in CSA Programs focuses on a set of agricultural practices to be implemented by small-scale food producers in developing countries. The purpose of this document is to provide agriculture development practitioners and policy makers globally, with guidance, tools and examples of successful integration of gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) into climate smart agriculture (CSA) work, by demonstrating the necessity and benefits of incorporating a GEWE approach in CSA work; and presenting tested strategies for enhancing the engagement of women and particularly vulnerable groups in CSA work. With a view towards accelerating the impacts of country programs, FAO and CARE have partnered to develop this guidance to help policy makers and practitioners meet the ambitious goals of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.

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)Manual / guideTraining manual on implementing ASEANGAP in the fruit and vegetable sector: Its certification and accreditation 2014
Also available in:
No results found.GAP refers to "practices that need to be applied on farms to ensure food safety and quality during pre-production, production, harvest and post-harvest"� stages. ASEANGAP was developed in 2006 with the purpose of enhancing harmonization of national GAP programmes within the ASEAN region, enhancing the safety and quality of fruit and vegetables for consumers, ensuring the sustainability of natural resources, and facilitating the trade of fruit and vegetables regionally and internationally. Many i mporting countries as well as domestic buyers require that GAP implementing producers are certified. Certification is the procedure through which assurance is provided that those foods or systems implemented conform to the GAP requirements. This training manual is designed to support countries in establishing a certification scheme for ASEANGAP in line with accreditation requirements. -
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.
