Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileEl Niño: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, October 2023–March 2024
Mitigating the expected impacts of El Niño-induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2023Also available in:
No results found.The latest forecasts point to a greater than 80 percent chance of El Niño continuing through March–May 2024, following declaration of the onset of El Niño conditions in early July 2023 by the World Meteorological Organization. The strength is expected to be comparable to the top six strongest events in recorded history, increasing the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards, ranging from drought to floods and storms. By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, El Niño may strongly impact agriculture, rural livelihoods and food security. Such early warnings clearly call for early action. FAO’s El Niño Anticipatory Action and Response Plan requires urgent funding to deliver immediate support in a number of identified countries around the world, based on analysis of historical trends, latest seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and the vulnerability of populations at risk. -

Main Report
2022Also available in:
No results found.Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs. The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience. -

Mitigating the expected impacts of El Niño-induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2023Also available in:
No results found.There is a greater than 90 percent chance that El Niño will continue through the end of 2023, and international climate agencies forecast a moderate to strong El Niño continuing into 2024. This will increase the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards, ranging from drought to floods and storms. By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, El Niño may strongly impact agriculture, rural livelihoods and food security. Such early warnings clearly call for early action.

Book (stand-alone)Flagship(SOFA) حالة الأغذية والزراعة في العالم 2015 في سطور
الحماية الاجتماعية والزراعة : كسر حلقة الفقر في الريف
2015تمكنت بلدان كثيرة من تحقيق الأهداف الإنمائية للألفية المتعلقة بالحد من الفقر، إلا أن بلداناً كثيرة أخرى لا تزال متأخرة على هذا الصعيد، ولذا سيتمثل التحدي لما بعد عام 2015 في الاستئصال التام للفقر والجوع. يقر العديد من البلدان النامية أكثر فأكثر بأن إجراءات الحماية الاجتماعية ضرورية للتخفيف من وطأة الحرمان الفوري الذي يعاني منه الناس الذين يعيشون في الفقر، وكذلك للحؤول دون وقوع غيرهم في براثن الفقر حين تقع أزمة ما. يمكن للحماية الاجتماعية أيضاً أن تساعد المستفيدين منها على زيادة إنتاجيتهم عبر تمك ينهم من إدارة المخاطر وبناء الأصول وممارسة أنشطة تتيح مكاسب أكبر. وتتخطى تلك المنافع المستفيدين المباشرين لتشمل مجتمعاتهم والاقتصاد الأوسع، إذ يشترون الغذاء والمدخلات الزراعية وغيرها من السلع والخدمات الريفية. ولكن لا يمكن للحماية الاجتماعية أن تقدم مخرجاً مستداماً من الفقر إلا إذا كان هناك نمو في الاقتصاد يشمل كافة الجوانب. تبقى الزراعة في معظم البلدان ذات الدخل المنخفض والمتوسط، القطاع الأكبر الذي يوفر فرص العمل للفقراء والمصدر الرئيسي لسبل المعيشة من خلال الأعمال مدفوعة الأجر، والإنتاج الخاص من أجل الاستهلاك الأسري والسوق. فالفقر وما يلازمه – من سوء تغذية وأمراض ونقص في التعليم– يحدّ من الإنتاجية الزراعية. وبالتالي فإّن توفير الحماية الاجتماعية، وانتهاج التنمية الزراعية بطريقة متكاملة يقدمان تآزرات كفيلة بزيادة فعالية كل منهما. -
