DocumentOther documentCrise du bassin du lac Tchad: Stratégie d’intervention (2017–2019)
Atténuer l’impact de la crise et renforcer la résilience et la sécurité alimentaire des communautés touchées par le conflit
2017Also available in:
Les violences liées au groupe armé Boko Haram dans le Nord-Est du Nigéria se sont étendues à certaines régions des pays voisins situés dans le bassin du lac Tchad – à savoir le Cameroun, le Tchad et le Niger – avec des répercussions dévastatrices sur la sécurité alimentaire et les moyens d’existence. Les violences ont déplacé des millions de personnes et ont entravé l’accès aux terres et aux actifs agricoles, provoquant des besoins humanitaires immenses dans une région déjà confrontée à l’insécu rité alimentaire, à la pauvreté et à la dégradation environnementale. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLake Chad Basin crisis - Response strategy (2017-2019) 2017
Also available in:
In the past year, FAO scaled up its capacities and level of interventions to respond to the Lake Chad Basin crisis. In order to address food security and livelihoods-related needs on a larger scale and timeframe, the next relevant step is to provide FAO with a three year Resilience Strategy for the Lake Chad Basin – with focus on Northeast Nigeria. The document presents in a concise and comprehensive manner the impact of the crisis on food security and livelihoods in Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad. FAO’s twin-track approach is developed with emphasis on FAO’s strategic framework of intervention, including outcomes, outputs and cross-cutting priorities at the sub-regional level. Focus is also made on the country-specific plans of action.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
DocumentOther documentFeasibility Study of Rainwater Harvesting for Agriculture in the Caribbean Subregion 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The document provides the information necessary to assist in the design of or strengthen national programs to build individual farmer or community capacities in rainwater harvesting. Farmers need not have prior knowledge in the use of the technology. However Extension Officers will require the necessary inputs from among technical officers with an understanding of the statistical, physiological and technological processes involved. These include practices in evaluation of suitability of series r ainfall data, probability analysis of series data and simple engineering works suited to catchment and storage requirements. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
