DocumentProgrammingAngola: Food and Agriculture Organization Angola Country Programming Framework 2013-2017 2012
Also available in:
No results found.This Country Programming Framework (CPF) sets out priority areas to guide FAO’s partnership with and support to the Government of Angola (GoA), bringing together innovative international best practices and global standards with national and regional expertise during the five years 2013 – 2017. The CPF was prepared following extensive consultation with the government and development partners during 2012. The CPF puts an emphasis on sustainably increasing food security and nutrition by building in stitutional and smallholder capacities in production, the sustainable management of natural resources while at the same time increasing the resilience of rural livelihoods to climatic shocks and threats. -
DocumentProgrammingZambia: Government of the Republic of Zambia and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Country Programming Framework for Zambia 2013-2015 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The CPF reviews the status of agriculture in Zambia and provides an analysis of sector-specific challenges and opportunities. Suitable areas for FAO intervention are identified and justified in accordance with FAO’s comparative advantages, GRZ priorities, UNDAF outcomes and FAO strategic objectives. It is supported by annexes, including i) CPF alignment with other policy documents and frameworks; ii) a results matrix; and iii) a matrix showing resource requirements. The process of developing CP F involved broad consultations with GRZ and other stakeholders in the agriculture sector including development partners. This process brought out areas of FAO’s comparative advantages which were reviewed to ensure alignment with agriculture sector national priorities. -
DocumentProgrammingKenya: Food and Agriculture Organization Country Programming Framework for Kenya, 2014-2017 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) for Kenya sets out priority areas to guide FAO’s partnership with and support to the Government of Kenya (GoK) at both national and county level, bringing together innovative international good practices and global standards with national and regional expertise for the next four years from 2014 to 2017. The CPF was prepared following extensive consultation with the GoK and Development Partners through both consultative workshops in 2011 and continuous bilateral discussion through 2012. In order to fully adapt to the devolved system of governance and incorporate emerging priorities, a further consultative workshop was held in early 2014 which resulted in the addition of an outcome on research, innovation and advocacy as well as better definition of outputs and activities throughout the document. The workshop also enabled FAO to clearly define a strategy for engaging with the counties. The CPF puts an immediate emphasis on reducing poverty and hunger in line with Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG) 11 and building a more sustainable and competitive agricultural system that will contribute to the GoK’s goal of building a food secure and prosperous Kenya through a commercially-oriented and competitive agricultural sector. The impact of the CPF will be a more competitive and productive agricultural sector and increased food security for Kenyans which will contribute to the achievement of the overarching goal of the CPF which is the erad ication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in Kenya.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookCarbone organique du sol - une richesse invisible 2017Cette publication a été lancée lors du colloque international sur le carbone organique du sol (GSOC) qui s’est tenu au siège de la FAO (Rome, 21-23 mars 2017). Pour les preneurs de décisions et les praticiens, il offre une vue d’ensemble sur les principaux faits et informations scientifiques concernant les connaissances actuelles et les lacunes de savoirs sur le carbone organique du sol. Elle met en lumière la manière dont une meilleure information et de bonnes pratiques peuvent être mises en pl ace pour soutenir l’élimination de la faim, l’adaptation et l’atténuation du changement climatique et l’atteinte d’un développement durable global.
