    FAO and the Post-2015 Development Agenda Issue Papers, 14 themes
    2014
    Welcome to FAO’s e-bulletin on the post-2015 development agenda. In this issue, we bring you news of a side event organised by the UN Rome-based agencies on financing SDG2 ahead of July’s Third International Conference on Financing for Development. Rural actors and agents of change are the focus of a feature article and photo gallery. Boubaker Ben-Belhassen, FAO post-2015 focal point, writes on the comprehensive approach to food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture of SDG2. We present a booklet listing 100 facts linking people, food and the planet, and, in the international year of soils, deliver a story-video-infographic package on the natural resource’s links to sustainable development.

    Poverty has declined worldwide, but progress has been uneven. Extreme poverty is mainly concentrated in rural areas. Rural development and agricultural productivity growth are crucial for poverty reduction.

    Production systems and the policies and institutions that underpin global food security are increasingly inadequate. Sustainable agriculture must nurture healthy ecosystems and support the sustainable management of land, water and natural resources, while ensuring world food security.

    The future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    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.
