Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureAjuster les modèles d’activité pour soutenir les entreprises agroalimentaires pendant l’épidémie de covid-19 2020La pandémie de covid-19 pose une menace importante pour les chaînes d'approvisionnement en intrants agricoles. Cette situation peut compromettre l'accès aux intrants et leur disponibilité, notamment les semences, les engrais et les pesticides, ainsi que la main-d'œuvre. En tant que telles, les perturbations de l'offre et de la demande d'intrants auront des effets divers d'un pays à l'autre et au sein d'un même pays et devront donc faire l'objet de réponses politiques différentes selon le contexte. Cette note expose les implications politiques à considérer compte tenu des effets de la pandémie covid-19 sur les marchés des intrants agricoles et propose des recommandations politiques pour atténuer les impacts à court et à long terme.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture presents the first global assessment of biodiversity for food and agriculture worldwide. Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods and food security, and to the supply of a wide range of ecosystem services. It has been managed or influenced by farmers, livestock keepers, forest dwellers, fish farmers and fisherfolk for hundreds of generations. Prepared through a participatory, country-driven process, the report draws on information from 91 country reports to provide a description of the roles and importance of biodiversity for food and agriculture, the drivers of change affecting it and its current status and trends. It describes the state of efforts to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture, including through the development of supporting policies, legal frameworks, institutions and capacities. It concludes with a discussion of needs and challenges in the future management of biodiversity for food and agriculture. The report complements other global assessments prepared under the auspices of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which have focused on the state of genetic resources within particular sectors of food and agriculture. -

Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
