ProjectFactsheetMainstreaming Sustainable Food and Agriculture Systems into Medium Term Policies of Mongolia for the Achievement of SDG 2 - TCP/MON/3807 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Over the past several years, Mongolia reformed its development planning. Celebrating the 95th anniversary of its first Constitution, Mongolia ratified a constitutional amendment and approved the Law on Development Policy, Planning and Management in May 2020. This led to the adoption of Vision-2050, a 30-year development policy focusing on food security and a sustainable, competitive agriculture sector. However, and despite contributing to 12 percent of Mongolia’s Gross Domestic Product and employing 24 percent of the labour force (2020 data), agriculture in the country remained unsustainable and unproductive due to outdated technology and inadequate physical and institutional infrastructure. High transportation and logistics costs, poor connectivity between farmers and consumers and market manipulation by traders exacerbated these issues, resulting in higher consumer prices and lower farmer profits. To address these challenges, the government aimed to improve the agriculture system and food supply chain through integrated policies under Vision-2050 and a new ten-year development programme launched in June 2022, which sought to ensure sustainable and inclusive food systems towards achieving the SDGs.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSistemas alimentarios seguros y sostenibles en una era de cambio climático acelerado 2018El mundo se enfrenta a problemas globales sin precedentes que afectan a la sostenibilidad de los sistemas agrícolas y alimentarios y a los medios de vida de pequeños productores y agricultores familiares en todo el planeta. Entre estos problemas figuran el agotamiento de recursos y las repercusiones adversas del deterioro ambiental, como la desertificación, la sequía, la degradación de las tierras, la escasez de agua, la contaminación y la pérdida de biodiversidad, así como el cambio climático y una población mundial en constante aumento. De manera conjunta, estos desafíos representan una seria amenaza para la seguridad alimentaria. El hambre y la subalimentación crónica están aumentando, y hay enfermedades prevenibles transmitidas por los alimentos que siguen afectando a millones de personas cada año. Además, según las previsiones disponibles, en 2050 la creciente población mundial puede necesitar el doble de los alimentos producidos en 2012. Este problema se ve agravado por la pérdida o el desperdicio de aproximadamente un tercio de los alimentos producidos en todo el mundo, lo cual es en su mayor parte atribuible a deficiencias en la gestión de la inocuidad y la calidad alimentarias a lo largo de las cadenas de valor. Todos los sectores agrícolas —agricultura, ganadería y acuicultura— se encuentran, por lo tanto, en una encrucijada. Simultáneamente con el aumento de la productividad agrícola, el impacto ambiental negativo no solo debe reducirse al mínimo, sino que debe revertirse. Esto representa un giro paradigmático en la agricultura hacia la intensificación sostenible que sea capaz de hacer frente a perturbaciones y cambios, como la variabilidad climática y las crisis emergentes y reemergentes relacionadas con la inocuidad alimentaria. Hacen falta respuestas, políticas, actividades de desarrollo de la capacidad, innovaciones e incentivos a escala nacional, internacional e intersectorial que aborden las inquietudes sobre la inocuidad alimentaria relacionadas con este vertiginoso ritmo de cambios naturales, tecnológicos, demográficos y sociales.

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. -
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.
