Emergency agriculture-based livelihoods assistance for improved food security and nutrition of populations affected by conflict and economic shocks in northeastern Nigeria
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives contributed USD 1 million to FAO’s project entitled “Emergency agriculture-based livelihoods assistance for improved food security and nutrition of populations affected by conflict and economic shocks in northeastern Nigeria”. The project was implemented from 7 December 2022 to 29 February 2024. The objective of the intervention was to improve food and nutrition security for vulnerable households, including internally displaced people, returnees and host communities, by enhancing their access to agricultural inputs, livestock, and agricultural extension services, thereby increasing their capacity for food production and income generation. The project directly benefited 8 541 households (59 787 people) through the distribution of agricultural inputs, the provision of training in farming practices and support for livestock and poultry production. -

The project's objective was to improve crisis-affected people's access to timely and appropriate food production assistance, including fuel and energy related support, to enable them to meet their immediate food needs. Fresh Food Vouchers, SAFE kits and trainings were provided to a total of 7 000 households, allowing them to improve their diets and reduce protection risks associated with collecting firewood, among other results. -

Emergency agricultural assistance to communities affected by farmer-herder conflicts in northwestern Nigeria
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Ireland has contributed EUR 442 000 to FAO’s project entitled “Emergency agricultural assistance to communities affected by farmer-herder conflicts in northwestern Nigeria”. The project was implemented from 24 February 2022 to 23 August 2023 and aimed at enhancing community-based mechanisms for natural resource management and increasing access to improved crops and livestock inputs of conflict-affected farmers and herders. In total, 1 650 households (about 11 550 people) benefited from the project’s support including the distribution of seeds and goats kits, the establishment of Agropastoral Field Schools, and the mapping of natural resources, thus improving households' food availibilty, diversifying their livelihoods and developing a framework basis for conflict resolution mechanism.

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. -
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 (stand-alone)High-profileBuilding a common vision for sustainable food and agriculture
Principles and approaches
2014Over the coming 35 years, agriculture will face an unprecedented confluence of pressures, including a 30 percent increase in the global population, intensifying competition for increasingly scarce land, water and energy resources, and the existential threat of climate change. To provide for a population projected to reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and support changing dietary patterns, estimates are that food production will need to increase from the current 8.4 billion tonnes to almost 13.5 billion tonnes a year. Achieving that level of production from an already seriously depleted natural resource base will be impossible without profound changes in our food and agriculture systems. We need to expand and accelerate the transition to sustainable food and agriculture which ensures world food security, provides economic and social opportunities, and protects the ecosystem services on which agriculture depends. This report is aimed primarily at policy makers and others who make or influence national and institutional decisions and actions. It is the outcome of intensive consultations and discussions aimed at developing a common approach to FAO’s work on sustainability. That process was conducted in a climate of cross-sectoral collaboration that drew on the contributions of leading specialists in crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, and natural resources. It builds on the Organization’s long experience in developing sustainability concepts, approaches and tools, and offers a common vision of the agriculture sector and of the inter-sectoral synergies aiming at making agriculture more productive and sustainable.
