Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate Change and Food Systems: Global assessments and implications for food security and trade 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This book collects the findings of a group of scientists and economists who have taken stock of climate change impacts on food and agriculture at global and regional levels over the past two decades. The evidence presented describes how global warming will impact where and how food is produced and discusses the significant consequences for food security, health and nutrition, water scarcity and climate adaptation. The book also highlights the implications for global food trade. The evidence pres ented in the book is presented in a way that is widely accessible to policy decision makers and practitioners and makes a distinct contribution towards a greater science-policy interchange. Put together, the different analyses in the book paint a comprehensive perspective linking climate change to food, nutrition, water, and trade along with suggested policy responses.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookGood agricultural practices (GAP)
Sesame (Sesamum Indicum)
2023Also available in:
Thorough reviews of Myanmar GAP guidelines 2018 and ASEAN GAP standards were conducted. Collaborative GAP situational analysis identified gaps in knowledge, access, and efficiency in inputs and service provision. Extensive secondary research, farmer discussions, and stakeholder insights provided a strong basis for sesame GAP upgrade. GAP promotion aims for systematic, field-based, impact-oriented rollout with stakeholder involvement. Capacity-building encompasses, local practitioners, lead farmer organizations, public-private partners, and value chain actors. The GAP framework includes concise key messages for agronomic success in each crop practice. Capacity-building through improved demonstrations, market linkages, and input suppliers, along with support for practitioners and extension agents, is central to successful GAP rollout. Farmer field schools, IPM training, exposure visits, and Information and communications technology (ICT) tools will further supplement GAP promotion. -

No results found.یک مطالعه ملی به سطح کشور در مورد آینده سمارت فود برای شناسایی گونه های غفلت شده یا کم مصرف در افغانستان انجام شده که به دولت افغانستان زمینه را فراهم می سازد که تا سال 2030 از طریق روش های جایگزین به هدف (گرسنگی صفر) دست یابد. افزایش نفوس، فشار روی منابع موجوده و عدم امنیت غذایی بلند در کشور به اقدامات عملی و سنجیده نیازمند آن است که با استفاده از روش های جدید در زمینه حل معضلات موجوده راهکار های مناسب توصیه گردد. به منظور برسی و شناسایی گونه های مختلف نباتاتیکه غنی از مواد مغذی بوده و در سالیان قبل مورد مصرف قرار می گرفتند، تحقیق جامع به سطح ملی از سوی افراد تخنیکی محلی در تمام ولایات کشور به اساس نمونه برداری علمی احصائیوی راه اندازی گردیده است. نتایج حاصله از این تحقیق، گونه های بالقوه نباتات فراموش شده به پیمانه کمتر به نسبت سالیان قبل استفاده می شود را مشخص می سازد، تا منحیث منابع غذایی متنوع برای مبارزه با گرسنگی و سوءتغذی در کشور دوباره احیا گردند. یافته های این تحقیق ۴۳ نوع غذای که دارای منشا نباتی و ۱۹ نوع دیگر آن که دارای منشا غیر نباتی اند را منحیث غذا های فراموش شده و کم مصرف تشخیص نموده است. و نیز بیان می دارد که از جمله نباتات شناسایی شده ۳ نوع عمده بالقوه آن منجمله 1) ارزن ایتالیایی، (2 عدس و (3 بنگوس (شیر ماهی) منحیث منابع غذایی فراموش شده و کم مصرف انتخاب گردیده تا در محراق توجه در پالیسی های آینده به منظور تامین امنیت غذایی و تغذیه قرار گیرند. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookAfghanistan's Agro-ecological zoning atlas. Part 2: Agro-ecological assessments
A study of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in collaboration with FAO
2022Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is crucial for the national economy of Afghanistan and in particularly so for the agriculturally dependent population which is constituting 60 percent of the total population. Adoption of new strategies for agriculture monitoring, rural land use planning and land management are urgently required to reduce hunger and poverty among rural population and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. The availability of reliable information on natural resources and agriculture for its monitoring and analysis is indispensable to development and implementation of such strategies. However, productivity in the agricultural sector has been relatively low. Afghanistan has the potential to increase its output of cereals, fruits and vegetables. For this purpose, the project “Strengthening Afghanistan Institutions’ Capacity for the Assessment of Agriculture Production and Scenario Development” (GCP/AFG/087/EC), funded by the European Union, is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Among the project objectives are improving the understanding of the country’s national resources endowment and limitations as well as assessing agricultural production capacities under current climatic conditions and likely impacts of climate change. Within the context of this project the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) support and implement a National Agro-Ecological Zoning activity in Afghanistan (NAEZ) which assesses quality and availability of land resources and identifies crop cultivation potentials - suitable area, production and attainable yield - under prevailing soil and terrain conditions and for given current or future agroclimatic conditions. One of the outputs of the NAEZ activities is this Agro-Ecological Zones Atlas which is based on applications of the FAO/IIASA National Agro-Ecological Zoning system for current and future climates. The Atlas provides two distinct parts, namely:
