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. -
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.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe inter-group resource book
A guide to building small farmer group associations and networks
2001Small farmer groups can increase their economies-of-scale and bargaining power by joining with other groups engaged in similar activities. These inter-group associations are important fora where small farmers can acquire new skills in the management of larger organizations. They can also serve as useful development vehicles, not only helping farmers solve their own problems but making it easier for governments to assist them in their efforts. This resource book shows how, using a participatory approach, inter-group associations can be established and run by groups in rural areas. It is intended for use by Group Promoters (GPs) or Inter-Group Promoters (IGPs), extension workers and other rural development staff to help existing groups set up and run such inter-group enterprises. Formation of groups themselves is covered in The group promoter’s resource book, while development of group enterprises is described in The group enterprise resource book – both also available from FAO.
