Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015 年粮食及农业状况 简介 (SOFA)
社会保护与农业：打破农村贫困恶性循环
2015“千年发展目标”中有关减轻贫困的目标已在多个国家实现，但仍有很多国家进展滞后，而2015年后面临的挑战将是彻底消除贫困和饥饿。很多发展中国家正日益认识到，要采取社会保护措施，及时帮助贫困人口摆脱贫困，同时防止其他人在危机来袭时陷入贫困。社会保护还能通过帮助受益人管理风险、创建资产和从事高收益活动，提高受益人的生产能力。这不仅惠及直接受益人，还能通过受益人购买食物、农业投入物和其他农村商品及服务，将惠益扩大至受益人所在社区乃至整个经济。然而，社会保护只有在包容性经济增长的前提下才能成为脱贫的可持续途径。在多数低收入和中等收入国家，农业仍是贫困人口的主要就业领域，是人们的主要生计来源，人们通过它赚取劳动报酬，并通过自有农业生产，供家庭食用并向市场出售。贫困及其相关后果，如营养不良、疾病和教育缺失等，都会阻碍农业生产率。因此，将社会保护和农业发展相互结合有助于形成合力，对二者都能起到扩大成效的作用。 -

NewsletterNewsletterFall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, June 2021 - Issue #4 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible.
