No results found.Les nématodes à galles du genre Meloidogyne provoquent des dégâts considérables sur certaines cultures maraîchères réalisées au Sénégal. Les moyens de lutte disponibles contre ces parasites n’étant pas toujours satisfaisants, de nouvelles voies sont explorées en particulier l’utilisation de techniques culturales appropriées dans une perspective de lutte intégrée. Une des possibilités consiste à introduire dans le sol de la matière organique visant à retarder la pénétration des nématodes dans les plantes et ainsi de limiter les dégâts. Par ailleurs, au cours d’essais antérieurs sur l’amélioration de la qualité des sols sableux à partir de bois raméal fragmenté (BRF), il a été observé l’absence de galles de nématodes sur les racines des plantes ayant reçu ce type de fertilisation organique. L’objectif de cette étude est de vérifier ces observations et de mesurer les effets de cette technique sur le développement de la tomate et des nématodes à galles du genre Meloidogyne. -

No results found.Le climat favorable au manguier est celui de la zone tropicale semi-aride, non gélive, présentant une alternance très nette période sèche/période humide. Une saison sèche de deux à trois mois provoque l’entrée en dormance et favorise la floraison, ce phénomène se trouvant d’ailleurs accentué par une baisse de température. Concernant la pluviométrie requise, les problèmes phytosanitaires deviennent presque insurmontables au-delà de 2000 mm/an. -

No results found.Pour réussir une culture semencière, les techniques culturales préconisées sont d’abord celles qui permettent d’optimiser le rendement d’une culture destinée à la consommation. En effet, la production de semences sur une plante ne peut être maximisée que si celle-ci a une croissance vigoureuse, un développement normal, une floraison abondante, une fructification maximale et un état sanitaire parfait. Les techniques spécifiques de conduite des cultures semencières qui doivent être appliquées se d ivisent en deux catégories : 1. les techniques culturales (entretien, protection phytosanitaire) qui visent à la production d’une semence de bonne qualité physique. 2. les techniques d’isolement, de pollinisation et d’épuration qui visent à assurer la qualité génétique de la semence.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
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.
