    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Foresight approaches in food safety enable the proactive identification and management of emerging issues – including both risks and opportunities – over the medium to long term. These approaches are most effective when human expertise is complemented by emerging digital tools and supported by strong knowledge partnerships among stakeholders. This publication outlines best practices and guiding principles for an effective food safety foresight approach, designed for policymakers, regulators, researchers and industry professionals. It supports timely, informed decision making to strengthen preparedness across agrifood systems.As global agrifood systems undergo rapid transformation, driven by factors such as climate change, urbanization, global trade and technological innovation, the complexity of food safety challenges continues to grow. This publication explores how foresight techniques can be used to prepare for emerging issues and inform science- and evidence-based risk assessments. It highlights the importance of multisectoral collaboration and knowledge sharing, drawing on insights from a global network of experts – from governments, international organizations, research institutes, universities, and the private sector – convened by FAO in 2025.The FAO Food Safety Foresight Programme proactively identifies, assesses and prioritizes emerging trends and drivers shaping agrifood systems that may have implications for food safety. Effective food safety foresight begins with clear objectives and a flexible, structured approach that combines qualitative and quantitative data. It relies on expert-led intelligence gathering, supported by digital tools to identify emerging risks and opportunities. Inclusive stakeholder engagement across sectors enhances insight and objectivity. Success depends on strong communication, institutional buy-in and alignment with decision-making processes. Even with limited resources, foresight capacity can start small and grow over time. This approach empowers stakeholders to anticipate and respond to future food safety challenges, supporting resilient agrifood systems and proactive policy making worldwide.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.
