DocumentOther documentВодные ресурсы и обеспечение продовольственной безопасности и питания 2015Вода – это жизнь. Она является не только неотъемлемой составляющей продовольственной безопасности и питания человека, но основой экосистем, от которых зависит жизнь каждого человека. Безопасная питьевая вода и санитария являются основополагающими условиями питания, здоровья и достоинства каждого человека. Доступ к водным ресурсам может быть особенно затруднен для уязвимых групп населения и женщин. Качественная вода в достаточных объемах необходима для нужд сельскохозяйственного производства, пищевой промышленности и просто для приготовления пищи. 70% мирового забора поверхностных и грунтовых вод в мире приходится на орошаемое земледелие. В настоящем докладе рассматриваются взаимосвязи между водными ресурсами, продовольственной безопасностью и питанием от домохозяйств до глобального уровня. В нем исследуются эти многочисленные связи в контексте конкурирующих видов спроса, растущего дефицита и изменения климата. В нем также рассматриваются пути оптимизации водопользования в сельском хозяйстве и продовольственных системах, а также пути совершенствования регулирования использования водных ресурсов в интересах укрепления продовольственной безопасности и улучшения питания для всех, сейчас и в будущем. Доклад имеет ярко выраженную практическую направленность. В нем приводятся примеры и варианты, которые могут применяться самыми разными заинтересованными сторонами и секторами с учетом региональных и местных особенностей.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Climate Resilient Agriculture in Nepal - GCP/NEP/070/LDF 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Extreme weather events and disruptions in normal weather patterns brought about by climate change negatively impact agricultural productivity in Nepal. This, in turn, leads to decreased food security in the country. At the request of the government of Nepal, this project was formulated to provide support for the implementation of urgent agricultural adaptation measures that were identified in the country’s 2010 National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA). The agriculture-related priorities of this programme were targeted, along with three key objectives laid out in the Global Environmental Facility’s (GEF) Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF). These included reducing vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change and increasing adaptive capacity to respond to them at local, national, regional and global level, as well as promoting the transfer and adoption of adaptation technology.
