Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCertification biologique pour les bananes 2017En raison des exigences de la production biologique en termes de qualité des sols, de gestion de l'eau, d’atténuation du changement climatique et de conservation de la biodiversité, la quantité de bananes biologiques est naturellement limitée. Toutefois, la demande et la production de bananes biologiques ont connu une accélération au cours dernières années, entraînant une augmentation de 18% de la surface cultivée entre 2008 et 2015. En 2013, la Fédération internationale des mouvements d'agricul ture biologique (IFOAM) a estimé que la production de bananes biologiques représentait 850 milliers de tonnes, soit près de 1% de la superficie totale dédiée à la production de bananes dans le monde. En 2015, les pays ayant produit le plus de bananes biologiques étaient la République dominicaine (12 000 ha), l'Équateur (11 500 ha), les Philippines (6 500 ha), le Pérou (5500 ha) et le Costa Rica (4500 ha). Les ventes de bananes biologiques continuent de croître dans le monde entier, ce qui représ ente une opportunité pour les producteurs certifiés.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureProduction de bananes organiques en République dominicaine 2017La République dominicaine produit plus de 55% des bananes biologiques dans le monde. En dépit d'être un acteur relativement petit sur le marché global de la banane, le pays se distingue en tant que premier producteur de bananes biologiques, ce qui en fait un exemple pertinent en termes de pratiques, résultats et défis auxquels sont confrontés les producteurs souhaitant se lancer dans la production biologique. La production bananière en République dominicaine est concentrée dans les provinces de Valverde et Monte Cristi au nord-ouest, et dans les provinces d'Azua et de Barahona au sud.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
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.
