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 biologiques au Pérou 2017Presque toutes les bananes exportées par le Pérou sont biologiques, représentant ainsi près de 3% de la production de bananes biologiques au niveau mondial. En 2014, la production bananière péruvienne occupait environ 5 500 hectares, soit près de 4% de la superficie mondiale consacrée à la production de bananes. Elle se concentre dans les régions septentrionales de Piura, Tumbes et Lambayeque ou les bananes sont principalement cultivées par de petits exploitants dans des fermes de moins de 3 hec tares. Depuis que le pays a démarré sa conversion de l’agriculture conventionnelle à l’agriculture biologique à la fin des années 1990, plus de 80% de la production de bananes s'est concentrée dans la vallée du Chira à Piura.

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. -

Also available in:
No results found.The United Nations General Assembly designated 2023 as the International Year of Millets (IYM 2023), recognizing the diverse and resilient nature of millets that thrive in drylands with minimal inputs. Each species of millets offers distinct essential nutrients, making them an ideal solution to enhance food security, and nutrition, and transform food systems across nations. IYM 2023 was crucial in raising awareness and directing policy attention towards millets' nutritional benefits and adaptability to adverse and changing climatic conditions. This report summarizes the objectives, activities, legacy and recommendations from IYM 2023. Its goal is to inspire key stakeholders to ensure that the year's conclusion marks the beginning of a new era dedicated to promoting sustainable production and consumption of millets.
