Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSpecial Report: FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to the Syrian Arab Republic 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Crop production: Production of wheat and barley slightly improved in 2017 compared to previous year due better rainfall and improved access to agricultural land in some areas. Livestock: Over the past two years, the herd sizes have stabilized albeit at a very low level. Displacement: About two in five people are on the move inside the country. Humanitarian access: Overall, there is an improvement in terms of humanitarian access compared to last year with some of the “besieged areas” now consider ed “hard-to-reach”. Markets: Due to the overall improved security situation and opening of supply routes, trade is slowly recovering throughout the country and urban markets appear to function well. Livelihood trends: With relatively improving trends in access and market functionality, livelihood opportunities in the formal and informal sector have slightly improved compared to the previous year. Food consumption and dietary diversity: Over 30 percent of households has a diet characterised by p oor quality and quantity. Coping strategies: Syrians apply a high degree of food coping strategies which is a signal of the stress they are facing because of food shortage. Food assistance needs: Based on the available data, the mission estimates that 6.9 million Syrians are food insecure in terms of current consumption. -

Also available in:
Une mission conjointe FAO/PAM d’évaluation des récoltes et de la sécurité alimentaire (CFSAM) a été réalisée du 7 au 17 décembre 2021 pour estimer la production céréalière de 2021 au Soudan du Sud et évaluer la situation globale de la sécurité alimentaire dans le pays. La CFSAM a examiné les conclusions de plusieurs missions d’évaluation des récoltes effectuées au moment des semis et des récoltes, entre juin et décembre 2021 dans différentes zones agroécologiques du pays. Toutes les missions ont été effectuées par un Groupe de travail agricole composé de fonctionnaires du Ministère de l’agriculture et de la sécurité alimentaire (MASA), du Bureau national de la statistique (BNS), de la FAO et des ministères de l’agriculture des différents États, dans le respect des protocoles sanitaires mis en place pour éviter la propagation de la covid-19. Les membres du Groupe de travail ont été formés ces dernières années pour mener des évaluations rapides en utilisant des techniques, des outils et des protocoles établis pour la CFSAM, y compris des visites de terrain à pied, la notation des cultures sur pied selon leurs niveaux de rendement et du bétail en fonction de leur état physique à l’aide de l’outil PET (Pictorial Evaluation Tool), la réalisation d’entretiens avec des informateurs clés et des études de cas d’agriculteurs.

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. -
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.

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.
