Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureConservation Agriculture in Southern Africa
Building partnerships for climate resilience
2020Also available in:
No results found.Southern Africa is warming at twice the global rate and with rainfall patterns growing increasingly unpredictable, floods and droughts are becoming more common. This means livelihoods are being threatened and in 2019 almost 42 million people in the region were food insecure. By adopting Conservation Agriculture (CA) though, farmers will become more resilient. The project Strengthening coordination, scaling up and governance of Conservation Agriculture in Southern Africa (SUCASA) is aimed at capitalising on the potential of CA by increasing collaboration among all partners in the region. By doing so, farmers will become more resilient to the effects of climate change and increase their food and nutrition security. In promoting CA in Southern Africa, FAO is working in close partnership with Norad, AUDA-NEPAD, SADC, COMESA, CCARDESA, ACT, CFU, CIMMYT, FANRPAN, Foundations for Farming, IITA, SACAU, Total Land Care & WWF. This factsheet provides an overview of the project and the benefits of conservation agriculture and is therefore a useful resource for all project stakeholders.
