Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEmergency responseHaiti: Response overview, November 2024 2024
Also available in:
In Haiti, alarming levels of armed gang violence continue to trigger significant population displacement within the country and limit the circulation of goods, contributing to increased prices of basic foodstuffs. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (September 2024) indicates that Haiti still has one of the highest proportions of acutely food-insecure people worldwide and results are the highest ever recorded in the country – 1 in 2 Haitians is in IPC Phase 3 and above, including 6 000 people in famine-like conditions (IPC Phase 5). The main drivers of food insecurity in the country are increased violence, limited access to food, high inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. To date, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) total requirement for 2024 – under the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan and Urgent call for assistance (May 2024) – remains only 12 percent funded. Reaching the most vulnerable households with emergency assistance is cost‑effective and enables quick, self-sustained food production. -

No results found.According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, nearly half of the population in Haiti is in high acute food insecurity (March–June 2023) – an increase compared with 4.7 million people projected in the September 2022 analysis. With limited funding received in 2022, only 80 000 people have been reached with livelihoods support in rural areas, accounting for about 11.4 percent of people targeted. In 2023, FAO requires USD 61.7 million to support 700 000 people. -

No results found.In Haiti, sociopolitical unrest, economic decline, violence perpetrated by armed groups, low agricultural production, rising food and fuel prices, and frequent natural disasters have led to increased levels of food insecurity. The new estimates indicate that about 5 in 10 households are currently facing acute hunger and for the first time in the country, the municipality of Cité Soleil registered 5 percent of the population in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Food security has also continued to deteriorate in rural areas, with several departments falling into Emergency (IPC Phase 4). This is mainly due to harvest losses following below-average rainfall as well as the 2021 earthquake that devastated parts of the Grand´Anse, Nippes and Sud. As a result, households face limited availability of and access to food, and are forced to adopt negative coping mechanisms to meet basic needs. The recent cholera outbreak is also likely to further increase the number of people food insecure. Due to the severity of the situation, urgent actions are required to support about half of the population. Providing the poorest and most food‑insecure households with livelihoods assistance is crucial to sustainably improve their food security and increase their self-reliance.

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
