Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideInteractions du genre, de la biodiversité agricole et des savoirs locaux au service de la sécurité alimentaire - Manuel de formation 2006
Also available in:
Ce manuel de formation se concentre essentiellement sur les relations entre les systèmes de savoirs locaux, le rôle assigné à chaque sexe, leurs relations, la conservation et la gestion de la biodiversité agricole, les ressources animales et phytogénétiques ainsi que la sécurité alimentaire. L’objectif de la formation est de promouvoir une compréhension holistique de ces éléments pour renforcer la capacité institutionnelle dans le secteur agricole de reconnaître et d’encourager ces relat ions dans des programmes et des politiques pertinents. D’autres manuels peuvent couvrir ces thèmes, mais il y a un manque évident de matériaux de formation professionnels qui comprennent ces trois thèmes. En outre, les organisations locales partenaires de la FAO ont demandé des matériaux de formation spécifiques qui se concentrent sur ces questions transversales. Nous croyons fermement qu’une meilleure compréhension des concepts clé et de leurs relations portera à l’amélioration de la pl anification des projets et de leur mise en oeuvre. Le but de ce manuel est par conséquent d’explorer les relations entre biodiversité agricole, genre et savoirs locaux et de montrer l’importance de ces relations au sein d’un contexte de recherche et de développement. Ce manuel ne vous dotera pas des capacités requises pour conduire une action ou une recherche participatives au niveau du terrain, et ne vous fournira pas des méthodes et des outils de recherche. Cependant, il servira de c omplément aux manuels de méthode et d’approche existants, comme les guides d’analyse socio-économique selon le genre FAO/ASEG

Also available in:
No results found.The Technical Meeting on understanding Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) at the human-animal interface was convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to determine the current status of the scientific knowledge on MERS-CoV and identify the major gaps that require further studies, in order to better understand the disease dynamics at the interface between humans and animals and develop practical and realistic approaches to control and minimi ze the impact of this virus. The meeting was also aimed at fostering collaborations and partnerships between institutions and organizations working on MERS-CoV at the human-animal interface.

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. -

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.
