    Vers des directives de bioéconomie durable - GCP/GLO/724/GER 2017
    Also available in:

    La bioéconomie comprend les secteurs de l’économie qui utilisent des ressources biologiques renouvelables (plantes, animaux, micro-organismes, etc.) pour remplacer les combustibles fossiles et produire de la nourriture, des aliments pour animaux et d’autres produits biologiques. Sa nature transversale offre une occasion unique d’aborder de manière exhaustive les défis sociétaux interconnectés tels que la sécurité alimentaire, la pénurie de ressources naturelles, la dépendance aux ressources foss iles et le changement climatique, tout en assurant un développement économique durable. Étant donné que la bioéconomie joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans de nombreux pays et régions, il est essentiel d’établir des lignes directrices qui lui permettront d’être développées de manière durable.

    Améliorer la gouvernance des régimes fonciers, applicables au terres, aux pêches et aux forêts - GCP/GLO/784/GER 2017
    Also available in:

    Les directives volontaires pour une gouvernance responsable des régimes fonciers applicables aux terres, aux pêches et aux forêts dans le contexte de la sécurité alimentaire nationale, appelées VGGT, favorisent des droits de propriété sécurisés et un accès équitable aux terres, aux pêches et aux forêts. Leurs objectifs généraux sont d'assurer la sécurité alimentaire pour tous et de soutenir la réalisation progressive du droit à une alimentation adéquate. Le Libéria, la Mongolie et la Sierra Leon e sont parmi les premiers pays à faire des progrès significatifs dans la mise en oeuvre des VGGT. Le maintien de l'engagement du gouvernement et l'élan général autour des VGGT sont essentiels pour assurer leur internalisation et les processus connexes dans les programmes nationaux.

    Renforcer la résilience des éleveurs pastoraux - GCP/GLO/536/GER 2018
    Also available in:

    Le nombre d’éleveurs pastoraux dans le monde est estimé entre 200 et 500 millions. Le pastoralisme stimule considérablement l’agriculture en fournissant du fumier, du bétail, du travail et des connaissances. Les organisations internationales s’intéressent de plus en plus aux pasteurs qu’ils ont aidés, mais au niveau national, les politiques pastorales sont rares. Avec leurs particularités culturelles uniques —la vie nomade, le statut transnational et la mobilité —, les pasteurs ont souvent été marginalisés et éclipsés par des groupes plus dominants, tels que les petits agriculteurs. L’amélioration des connaissances sur les races qu’ils élèvent, les aliments utilisés, la gestion des terres et le système d’alerte rapide devraient contribuer à améliorer leurs options et stratégies de subsistance.

    The 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
    2020

    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.

    Processing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale.

    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    The 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.
