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

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. -

No results found.In 2021, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS) and FAO signed the Letter of Agreement (LoA) on the provision of technical support and assistance in the organization of the regional expert consultations, developing the draft project frameworks, concept notes, and pilot project documents (regional and national), conducting training sessions for researchers, agriculture and extension specialists from pilot countries; and contributing to the promotion of Special Agricultural Products (SAPs) and green technologies in the framework of the Global Action on Green Development of Special Agricultural Products: “One Country One Priority Product” (OCOP)”. Through the collaboration with FAO, the Plant Production and Protection Division (NSP) and Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS) organized three training sessions on 28-30 November 2022, devoted to the promotion of a green value chain of field crops, fruit crops and horticultural crops produced in the tropics. The training sessions will serve as a forum to share the knowledge and experiences in sustainable tropical agriculture, lessons learned by China in promoting the SAPs, food value chain and other tropical technologies with trainees from the developing countries.
