ProjectFactsheetCapacity Building and Policy Support to Livestock and Dairy Development in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/079/BGD 2024
Also available in:
No results found.A World Bank-supported study (2016) in Bangladesh revealed that the livestock and fisheries subsectors were underexploited despite being vital drivers of agricultural growth. The Department of Livestock Services (DLS) received USD 500 million from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project, designed to target all main livestock value chains in the country. To assist the LDDP, the government requested technical assistance from FAO. The aim of the FAO project was to increase resilient and inclusive agroeconomic growth through strategies and best practices that diversify agricultural production and enhance productivity. Specifically, it would provide technical and methodological advice, coaching and mentoring to the LDDP staff responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the LDPP and the development of specific products and deliverables. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Livestock Productivity, Market Access, and Resilience of Livestock Production in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/077/BGD 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The livestock sector in Bangladesh is characterized by several challenges, including poor practices along the value chains; weak value chain organization and infrastructures; low risk management; low quality services; and a lack of proper policies and legislations. In addition, high incidence of different important animal diseases; poor technology adoption; low-quality feed and feeding; insufficient improved breed; inappropriate good management practices; inadequate business plans and market linkages; gender inequality, among others, are further limitations on livestock production in Bangladesh. It is well recognized that unlocking the growth potential of the livestock sector may require a holistic approach, and multiple interventions to address these challenges are required. In this context, the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL) received funds from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), targeting all main livestock value chains in the country. Against this background, the Government of Bangladesh requested that FAO provide technical assistance to the DLS to implement the LDDP. -
ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Dairy Development in Rwanda - UTF/RWA/042/RWA 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Livestock play a significant role in ensuring food security, nutrition, livelihoods and economic development. In Rwanda, livestock have the potential to contribute to the country's agricultural led growth and socioeconomic transformation. Livestock are particularly important for rural youth and women, providing them with opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship. Although the dairy sector is rapidly growing and accounts for 10.5 percent of agricultural gross domestic product, it is underperforming compared to other countries in the region. Small scale dairy farmers in Rwanda face challenges related to capacity building, low productivity of dairy breeds, insufficient use of advanced farm technologies and practices and a lack of access to input and output markets. To address these issues, this project aimed to provide technical assistance for the Rwanda Dairy Development Project (RDDP) through collaborative efforts among the Government, the Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

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. -

No results found.These documents, comprising census reports, questionnaires, instruction manuals, and other related census materials, constitute national agricultural census records submitted by member countries to the FAO Statistics Division. FAO compiles and archives these census documents, which serve as the foundation for the preparation of methodological reviews of national agricultural censuses, including key findings on countries’ structural characteristics of agriculture. The Statistics Division of FAO periodically disseminates these country census documents and the associated methodological reviews through its official website.
