Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015 年粮食及农业状况 简介 (SOFA)
社会保护与农业：打破农村贫困恶性循环
2015“千年发展目标”中有关减轻贫困的目标已在多个国家实现，但仍有很多国家进展滞后，而2015年后面临的挑战将是彻底消除贫困和饥饿。很多发展中国家正日益认识到，要采取社会保护措施，及时帮助贫困人口摆脱贫困，同时防止其他人在危机来袭时陷入贫困。社会保护还能通过帮助受益人管理风险、创建资产和从事高收益活动，提高受益人的生产能力。这不仅惠及直接受益人，还能通过受益人购买食物、农业投入物和其他农村商品及服务，将惠益扩大至受益人所在社区乃至整个经济。然而，社会保护只有在包容性经济增长的前提下才能成为脱贫的可持续途径。在多数低收入和中等收入国家，农业仍是贫困人口的主要就业领域，是人们的主要生计来源，人们通过它赚取劳动报酬，并通过自有农业生产，供家庭食用并向市场出售。贫困及其相关后果，如营养不良、疾病和教育缺失等，都会阻碍农业生产率。因此，将社会保护和农业发展相互结合有助于形成合力，对二者都能起到扩大成效的作用。 -

社会保护与农业：打破农村贫困恶性循环
2015尽管我们已在实现“千年发展目标”有关贫困和饥饿行动具体目标方面取得大幅进展，但仍有近10亿人生活在极端贫困中（人日均支出低于1.25美元），7.95亿人遭受长期饥饿。要实现新的“可持续发展目标”提出的到2030年消除贫困和饥饿的目标，未来要做的工作还有很多。极端贫困人口多数生活在发展中国家农村地区，且以务农为生。贫困和营养不良使得极端贫困家庭世代深陷贫困恶性循环。很多发展中国家正在制定全新战略，将社会保护和农业发展相互结合，借此成功打破农村贫困的恶性循环。为鳏寡和孤儿群体提供现金补助、为贫困人口提供有保障的公共建设项目就业等社会保护措施，有助于保护弱势人群，防止他们进一步陷入贫困。这也能帮助贫困家庭增加食物消费量，并实现食物多样化。社会保护还能帮助他们实现积蓄， 对自身农场进行投资，或开始新的创业活动。支持小规模家庭农场进入市场、管理风险的农业发展计划能提供就业机会，使受益家庭更加自立，更具抵御能力。社会保护和农业发展相结合，就能打破农村贫困的恶性循环。

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookCyclone Ockhi - Disaster risk management and sea safety in the Indian marine fisheries sector 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Between 29 November and 3 December, 2017, Cyclone Ockhi devastated hundreds of lives and livelihoods of coastal fishing communities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, India. This study assesses the impacts of the cyclone on fishing communities and the mechanisms in place at the local, national and international levels to address disaster risks and sea safety in small-scale fisheries, using a human rights-based approach.In line with the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries, the study recommends applying “relief-development continuum” and “build back better” concepts to the management of disaster risks in order to save lives and to reduce damage to fisheries assets and livelihoods. -
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.
