Book (stand-alone)Technical studyS'entendre sur les causes de la malnutrition pour agir ensemble 2014Mettre un terme à la faim et à la pauvreté sont des objectifs à la fois ambitieux et complexes. Aujourd’hui, grâce aux changements majeurs que nous avons apportés à notre façon de travailler, la FAO est devenue une organisation plus saine, plus homogène et plus flexible, dont les activités sont orientées vers cinq objectifs stratégiques. La nouvelle FAO, ainsi renforcée, a toutes ses chances à présent de remporter la bataille contre la faim, la malnutrition et la pauvreté.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePlateforme des Connaissances Pastorales: Faire entendre les voix des pastoralistes sur la scène mondiale 2016Plusieurs centaines de millions de pastoralistes de partout dans le monde comptent sur un riche héritage de connaissances et sur une tradition de mobilité pour survivre dans certains des environnements les plus rudes de la planète. Ils produisent de la viande, du lait et des fibres et fournissent des services écosystémiques essentiels. Pourtant, ils sont souvent incompris, marginalisés et exclus des décisions les concernant. La Plateforme leur donne une voix. Elle permet aux pastoralistes d’entr er en contact entre eux, de se rencontrer et de discuter de sujets tels que la perte de pâturages ou des perturbations de leurs routes de migration. À travers la Plateforme, ils peuvent trouver des solutions partagées à des défis communs.

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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe impact of livestock on biodiversity
Summary of the guidelines for assessment
2019Also available in:
No results found.According to the last report of the International Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the current rate of species extinction is unprecedented in human history and is threatening human well-being as biodiversity is the basis for essential ecosystem services such as biomass production, crop pollination, water purification or climate regulation. Reversing species decline will require mainstreaming biodiversity across sectors and landscapes. Livestock is among the sectors with highest impacts on biodiversity. As a direct impact, around 30% of land on Earth are used for pastures and feed crops, which results in modifications of biodiversity habitats. In addition, livestock production has indirect impacts on biodiversity through its contribution to climate change and pollution (e.g. nutrients, ecotoxic substances). However, an important specificity of the livestock sector is that its impacts on biodiversity can also be positive. The LEAP biodiversity principles document contains ten case studies. They show concrete examples of biodiversity assessment in the context of livestock and illustrate how the principles can be applied. They cover a wide range of livestock systems, geographical areas and assessment methods. -
Book (series)Technical studyCost and affordability of healthy diets across and within countries
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020. FAO Agricultural Development Economics Technical Study No. 9
2020Also available in:
No results found.Price and affordability are key barriers to accessing sufficient, safe, nutritious food to meet dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. In this study, the least-cost items available in local markets are identified to estimate the cost of three diet types: energy sufficient, nutrient adequate, and healthy (meeting food-based dietary guidelines). For price and availability the World Bank’s International Comparison Program (ICP) dataset is used, which provides food prices in local currency units (LCU) for 680 foods and non-alcoholic beverages in 170 countries in 2017. In addition, country case studies are developed with national food price datasets in United Republic of Tanzania, Malawi, Ethiopia, Ghana and Myanmar. The findings reveal that healthy diets by any definition are far more expensive than the entire international poverty line of USD 1.90, let alone the upper bound portion of the poverty line that can credibly be reserved for food of USD 1.20. The cost of healthy diets exceeds food expenditures in most countries in the Global South. The findings suggest that nutrition education and behaviour change alone will not substantially improve dietary consumption where nutrient adequate and healthy diets, even in their cheapest form, are unaffordable for the majority of the poor. To make healthy diets cheaper, agricultural policies, research, and development need to shift toward a diversity of nutritious foods.
