Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide pratique pour la mise en œuvre des Normes applicables aux banques de gènes pour les ressources phytogénétiques pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture: Conservation des semences orthodoxes dans les banques de gènes de semences 2023La FAO a élaboré le «Guide pratique pour l’application des Normes applicables aux banques de gènes pour les ressources phytogénétiques pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture: Conservation des semences orthodoxes dans les banques de gènes de semences» en tant qu’ouvrage complémentaire des Normes applicables aux banques de gènes pour les ressources phytogénétiques pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture. Les étapes du flux de travail d’une banque de semences sont présentées de manière séquentielle et des conseils sont proposés pour les étapes complexes et les décisions nécessaires au fonctionnement d’une banque de semences. Les tableaux récapitulatifs qui accompagnent les différentes étapes soulignent que ce guide pratique est destiné à servir de manuel pour les opérations de routine des banques de gènes en vue de la conservation des semences orthodoxes. Bien que ce guide pratique soit particulièrement utile aux techniciens des banques de gènes de semences pour leurs activités quotidiennes, il peut également servir de base à l’élaboration de procédures opérationnelles normalisées et de systèmes de gestion de la qualité. Les gestionnaires de banques de gènes le trouveront également utile pour mener des exercices de formation.

Module 2: Traitement des semences: Principes, matériel et pratiques
2019Les semences sont un moyen-clé pour améliorer les cultures. Ils constituent donc un élément essentiel dans la production agricole. Les semences sont uniques, elles doivent rester vivantes et saines lorsqu’elles sont utilisées. Les semences sont également l’intrant que les agriculteurs peuvent produire eux-mêmes. Ces facteurs ont été pris en compte lors de la préparation de ces outils d’information, qui comprend les six modules interdépendants, Développement d’entreprises semencières à petite échelle, Traitement des semences, Contrôle de la qualité et certification des semences, Cadre réglementaire du secteur des semences, Commercialisation des semences, Stockage des semences -

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLivestock's long shadow
environmental issues and options
2006This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation. The assessment is based on the most recent and complete data available, taking into account direct impacts, along with the impacts of feedcrop agriculture required for livestock production. The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The findings of this report suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air poullution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
