Book (stand-alone)FlagshipLa situation des marchés des produits agricoles 2018. Commerce agricole, changement climatique et sécurité alimentaire 2018Le commerce agricole mondial a considérablement progressé en valeur depuis 2000. La configuration des échanges s’est également modifiée – les économies émergentes et les pays en développement jouent un rôle plus important sur les marchés internationaux, et le commerce agricole Sud-Sud s’est fortement développé. Les effets des changements climatiques sur l’agriculture, la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition ne seront vraisemblablement pas uniformes d’un pays à l’autre, ni d’une région à l’autre. L’évolution des avantages comparatifs dans l’agriculture mondiale va également avoir des incidences sur le commerce international. La présente édition de La situation des marchés des produits agricoles s’intéresse à cette zone complexe et peu étudiée où se croisent le commerce agricole, le changement climatique et la sécurité alimentaire. Elle offre une contribution importante aux débats d’orientation sur l’atténuation du changement climatique et l’adaptation à ses effets dans le cadre de l’Accord de Paris et des règles multilatérales applicables aux échanges agricoles. Elle étudie les politiques – tant les mesures de soutien interne que les mesures commerciales – qui peuvent favoriser la sécurité alimentaire, l’adaptation et l’atténuation, et renforcer les moyens d’existence des petits exploitants familiaux partout dans le monde. Étant donné que le changement climatique peut avoir des effets à évolution lente comme à évolution rapide, il convient d’examiner plus avant, au sein des instances internationales, les mesures susceptibles de contribuer de manière significative à son atténuation et à l’adaptation à ses effets, en faisant en sorte de renforcer la complémentarité entre règles commerciales et interventions climatiques.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
