BookletCorporate general interestNutrition in protracted crises 2016
Also available in:
This note focuses on the topic of nutrition in protracted crises. While malnutrition is one of the biggest challenges to development and human well-being in many countries, rates of malnutrition, especially stunting, are significantly higher in countries in the throes of protracted crises. Malnutrition and crises go hand in hand: malnutrition both impacts on and is affected by crises. Protracted Crises impact negatively on people’s lives and livelihoods and the factors responsible for malnutriti on: food insecurity, inappropriate care and feeding practices, poor health environment. Nutrition needs to be integrated in resilience-building programmes to support a people-centred approach and build a bridge between short-term crisis management and longer-term development. Malnutrition cannot be tackled by one sector alone and needs multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder solutions. Synergies can be promoted between partners and coordination mechanisms working on food security, nutrition and res ilience for an integrated food security and nutrition response. The aim of this paper is to illustrate – including through case studies - how FAO’s work in nutrition plays a prominent role to support the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crisis situations. -

Also available in:
No results found.The webinar on gender equality for resilience in protracted crises was presented as part of a series of webinars organized between May and December 2016 by KORE - the Knowledge sharing platform on resilience- within the INFORMED programme and dedicated to sharing knowledge on resilience building. This series of webinars is the result of a collaboration between EU-DEVCO and FAO strategic programme on resilience. The objective is to improve the food security and nutrition of populations affected b y, or at risk of, protracted crises by addressing critical manifestations and building resilience; adapting to specific challenges; and contributing to addressing underlying causes. Among the 11 principles, there is a specific principle on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileConflict, migration and food security 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Protracted conflicts are the main cause of the rise in forced migration. People living in rural areas and dependent on agriculture are affected the most, as most of today’s civil strife takes place in such contexts. The symptoms are evident, but the realities behind these symptoms tend to be complex. The ways in which conflict can cause food insecurity and the ways in which both conflict and food insecurity cause people to flee their livelihoods differ from context to context. Forced movements o f people and food insecurity may also fuel conflict. Responses should start from a proper understanding of the root causes underlying conflicts, movements of people and persistent food insecurity. In all these contexts, humanitarian aid is needed to prevent food crises and famines to occur in such situations, but no lasting solutions can be expected if programmes and support measures do not aim to help provide people with the means to rebuild their livelihoods, thus addressing some of the root c auses of conflict and migration. Restoring agriculture and food production and rural livelihoods will be key in most settings. -
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.
