No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO LESOTHO - 21 June 2001 2001
Also available in:
At the beginning of January 2001 a cold front passed over Lesotho causing frost that severely affected crops at their critical development stages. It was immediately followed by a prolonged dry spell, a heat wave and a hailstorm in parts, all of which further damaged crops. In response to these events, the Government of Lesotho requested FAO and WFP for assistance in reviewing the country's food situation and outlook for 2001/02 marketing year. Consequently an FAO/ WFP Crop and Supply Assessment Mission visited the country from 5 to 16 May 2001, to review prospects for the 2000/01 crops and the overall food supply situation, and to estimate the cereal import requirements, including food aid, for the 2001/02 marketing year. The Mission received full cooperation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Co-operatives and Land Reclamation, the National Early Warning Unit (NEWU) and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Marketing. Discussions were held with relevant UN agencies, donor representative s, NGOs and grain importers. The Mission split into three groups to ensure adequate coverage of key areas and visited all ten districts of the country. Interviews were conducted with farmers, extension agents, millers and traders. The Mission forecasts the 2000/01 cereal production at 80 000 tonnes, which is about 55 percent below last year and 60 percent below the average of the last five years. Maize production is estimated at 58 000 tonnes, wheat at 11 000 tonnes (summer: 5 000 tonnes, w inter: 6 000 tonnes) and sorghum at 11 000 tonnes. Other crops such as beans and peas were also observed on most farmers' fields, and contribute to the diet of families and cash incomes when grown in larger quantities. -

Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Angola from 5-27 May 2001 to estimate crop production from the 2000/01 season, as well as the cereal import requirements and food aid needs in the 2001/02 marketing year (April/March). Following briefings by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) and Ministry of Social Assistance and Reintegration (MINARS), the Mission made field visits to 8 out of the 18 provinces, accompanied by officials from MINADER and observers from the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), the European Union (EU) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Detailed planning of the Mission, preparatory documents and other background information were provided by the FAO-supported Food Security Unit in MINADER, the Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping (VAM) Unit of the WFP Office in Angola, and WFP sub-offices in the provinces. Plans had been made to visit 10 provinces, but the security situation was very fluid and they had to be changed at the last minute. Finally, a de-briefing meeting was held at MINADER to present the findings of the Mission. -

Also available in:
Cereal production in Tajikistan, particularly wheat, has been steadily declining since a peak production in 1997. Last year's drought severely impacted the country's already fragile agricultural sector that has faced severe structural problems due in part to the civil strife and political instability of the mid 1990s. Furthermore, shortage of financial and technical resources has also resulted in a near collapse of the country's irrigation systems, agro-processing industries, agricultural input production and supply units, as well as in the severe deterioration of farm machinery and equipment. Reduced rainfall in 2000/2001 has further exacerbated the adverse conditions of the agricultural sector. It is in this context that the Government of Tajikistan requested FAO and WFP assistance in reviewing the country's food situation and outlook for 2001/02 marketing year. Consequently, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission was fielded from 19 June to 3 July to estimate the 2001 ce real harvest and cereal import requirement, including food and agricultural assistance needs, for the marketing year 2001/02.

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.

贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
