DocumentFactsheetAugmentation de la production agricole en Angola - UTF/ANG/047/ANG 2017Compte tenu du fait qu’environ 10 pourcent des terres arables en Angola sont actuellement cultivées, la productivité agricole et les rendements agricoles des pays sont extrêmement faibles. Étant donné que plus de la moitié des pauvres en Angola habitent en zones rurales et dépendent presque exclusivement de l’agriculture pour leur subsistance, il était fondamental de renforcer la capacité institutionnelle du secteur agricole, en particulier dans des domaines tels que l’irrigation, l’analyse des politiques et les statistiques agricoles. La FAO a été sollicitée pour établir de nouvelles écoles pratiques d’agriculture dans les provinces de Bié, Huambo et Malanje, pour former des maîtres formateurs dans les zones cibles et pour mettre au point un programme de formation. L’assistance technique et la vulgarisation rurale fournies par le projet visaient à organiser les agriculteurs, à renforcer les marchés et à adopter des techniques et des innovations appropriées au contexte local, dans le b ut de renforcer la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle.

ProjectFactsheetTechnical Assistance for the Angola Fisheries Sector Support Project - UTF/ANG/056/ANG 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Angola’s 1 650 kilometres of coastline support the livelihoods of a significant portion of its population through fisheries and aquaculture. Artisanal and semi industrial fisheries make up more than 80 percent of total fish production; however, the monitoring of these fisheries is not adequate, leading to post harvest losses and limiting the ability of small scale fishing communities to thrive. This project was implemented to provide technical assistance to the Fisheries Sector Support Project (FSSP), which sought to improve fisheries monitoring and landing site management and reduce post harvest losses in Angola. By addressing weaknesses in technical knowledge among the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MINAGRIP) and local fishing communities, the project aimed to build the capacities of these beneficiaries to manage Angola’s small scale artisanal fisheries in accordance with the principles of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF).

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. -
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.
