Also available in:
No results found.FAO Management welcomes the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Evaluation of FAO’s contribution to the conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA), and its analytical focus on past and current trends in genetic resources work. The evaluation methodology followed by the evaluation, including: a) desk review of FAO’s genetic resources work; b) interviews and focus group discussions; c) country visits for case studies; d) surveys of key actors and stakeholders; and e) bibliometric analysis, combined with frequent interaction with internal stakeholders and external referees, was appreciated. -

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. -
