Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLearning tool on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector 2015The learning tool for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) in agriculture and land use consists of a set of slides including different modules for independent studying. The tool reviews pathways for NAMA identification (i.e. fast track and in-depth analyses) and prioritization of different greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction options. It also displays required interventions to overcome barriers and presents available sources of data and funds. The learning tool showcases exist ing databases and tools for GHG estimation, and provides options for identification, prioritization and monitoring of mitigation actions in the agriculture and land use sectors.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood Security and Climate Benefits through Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Agriculture 2016The brief demonstrates that agriculture sectors’ mitigation potential is recognized by 86% countries in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). Therefore, climate change mitigation potential of agriculture needs to be unlocked timely to address the emission gap and keep the temperature increase below 2°C limit. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) provide a mechanism for supporting countries to implement their NDC and achieve a number of SDGs by enhancing agricu ltural productivity, supporting food security and rural development while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Using the experience and lessons learned from NAMA processes and addressing technical, finance, and institutional barriers of its implementation will support the fulfillment of NDCs and SDGs.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookEcosystem services assessment in livestock agroecosystems 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This document highlights the crucial role of livestock agroecosystems in rural development, landscape management, and food security, while noting that public debate often focuses mainly on negative aspects such as environmental impacts, human health, and animal welfare. These concerns tend to overshadow the multiple benefits livestock systems provide to society.Framed through the concept of ecosystem services, the guide outlines four categories of benefits that livestock agroecosystems deliver to human well-being:- Provisioning services, including the production of food and fibre.- Regulating services, such as climate and air quality control, water management, disease regulation, pollination, and natural hazard mitigation.- Cultural services, encompassing recreational, aesthetic, educational, social, and spiritual values.- Supporting services, including soil formation, photosynthesis, and water and nutrient cycling.Achieving truly sustainable livestock production requires recognizing and systematically assessing these services. To support this, the guide calls for a harmonized international approach. It recommends the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) as a standardized framework for identifying and categorizing ecosystem services, and proposes a five-step roadmap to ensure robust and transparent valuation processes that generate reliable evidence for policy and management.Integrating biophysical, socio-cultural, economic, and modelling valuation methods, the guide serves as a first step toward consistent international guidance. It provides both conceptual foundations and practical approaches to better assess, promote, and sustain the contributions of livestock agroecosystems to global sustainability. -
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.
