Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideInteractions du genre, de la biodiversité agricole et des savoirs locaux au service de la sécurité alimentaire - Manuel de formation 2006
Also available in:
Ce manuel de formation se concentre essentiellement sur les relations entre les systèmes de savoirs locaux, le rôle assigné à chaque sexe, leurs relations, la conservation et la gestion de la biodiversité agricole, les ressources animales et phytogénétiques ainsi que la sécurité alimentaire. L’objectif de la formation est de promouvoir une compréhension holistique de ces éléments pour renforcer la capacité institutionnelle dans le secteur agricole de reconnaître et d’encourager ces relat ions dans des programmes et des politiques pertinents. D’autres manuels peuvent couvrir ces thèmes, mais il y a un manque évident de matériaux de formation professionnels qui comprennent ces trois thèmes. En outre, les organisations locales partenaires de la FAO ont demandé des matériaux de formation spécifiques qui se concentrent sur ces questions transversales. Nous croyons fermement qu’une meilleure compréhension des concepts clé et de leurs relations portera à l’amélioration de la pl anification des projets et de leur mise en oeuvre. Le but de ce manuel est par conséquent d’explorer les relations entre biodiversité agricole, genre et savoirs locaux et de montrer l’importance de ces relations au sein d’un contexte de recherche et de développement. Ce manuel ne vous dotera pas des capacités requises pour conduire une action ou une recherche participatives au niveau du terrain, et ne vous fournira pas des méthodes et des outils de recherche. Cependant, il servira de c omplément aux manuels de méthode et d’approche existants, comme les guides d’analyse socio-économique selon le genre FAO/ASEG -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
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 (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
