ProjectFactsheetAppui à l’amélioration des moyens d’existence et la résilience climatique par l’irrigation collinaire en province Kirundo - TCP/BDI/3802 2024

No results found.Le Burundi est un petit pays à vocation essentiellement agricole où plus de 90 pour cent de la population tire l’essentiel de sa subsistance et de ses revenus de l’agriculture et de l’élevage. La production agricole nationale est déficitaire en raison de la forte densité de population (qui dépasse 400 habitants par kilomètre carré dans certaines provinces) et de l’exiguïté des terres cultivables, d’où un taux élevé de malnutrition dans certaines régions. Face à cette situation, il est impératif de trouver des solutions alternatives pouvant permettre d’accroître et de diversifier la production agricole, d’améliorer les revenus des producteurs burundais et la santé nutritionnelle des populations, tout en s’adaptant aux défis du changement climatique. La province de Kirundo souffre d’un déficit hydrique permanent depuis 2002, avec des répercussions sur la production qui menacent gravement la sécurité alimentaire des populations. Le MINEGRAIE a identifié l’irrigation collinaire comme l’une des solutions possibles à cette situation et a sélectionné les communes de Kirundo et Busoni comme zones prioritaires. Dans ce cadre, le Gouvernement a sollicité l’appui technique et financier de la FAO pour la mise en œuvre d’un projet de coopération technique (PCT) visant à appuyer l’amélioration des moyens d'existence et la résilience climatique par l'irrigation collinaire en province Kirundo au Burundi.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
Building climate resilience for food security and nutrition
2018New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting. Last year’s report showed that the failure to reduce world hunger is closely associated with the increase in conflict and violence in several parts of the world. In some countries, initial evidence showed climate-related events were also undermining food security and nutrition. This year’s report goes further to show that climate variability and extremes – even without conflict – are key drivers behind the recent rise in global hunger and one of the leading causes of severe food crises and their impact on people’s nutrition and health. Climate variability and exposure to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes are threatening to erode and reverse gains in ending hunger and malnutrition. Furthermore, hunger is significantly worse in countries where agriculture systems are highly sensitive to rainfall, temperature and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture. The findings of this report reveal new challenges to ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition. There is an urgent need to accelerate and scale up actions that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity of people and their livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. These and other findings are detailed in the 2018 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. -
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.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
