Synopsis (short abstract) Despite the enormous agricultural potential of Gabon, the production only covers 43 percent of the population food requirements. This implies a strong dependence of the country vis-a-vis to outside to fill its food deficit. Gabon therefore needs to improve the productivity of its Agriculture which is constantly decreasing across the agricultural mechanization to ensure food security. Many efforts made to improve the level agricultural mechanization in Gabon have given less positive results. This is why the formulation of strategy and implementation plans for the agricultural mechanization as part of the country agricultural policy is now seen as an approach, ensuring the foundations of sustainability in agricultural production. Gabon National Mechanization Strategy (SNMAG) was developed in the framework of the Project TCP / GAB / 3401 "Supporting sustainable intensification of food through mechanization”. In the framework of SNMAG, agricultural mechanization will be applied along the value chain, to aspects of agriculture such as: animal production, freshwater fish farming, soil preparation, crops weeding, harvest, crops pest and diseases control, irrigation and drainage, transportation, processing and storage of agricultural products. Levels and the types of technologies used will be in consistent with agronomic, socio-economic contexts and environmental aspects of the country. In addition, mechanization will be based on the use of clean sources and renewable energies to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 7 on clean and affordable energy.

    Appui à l’élaboration d’une Stratégie nationale de mécanisation Agricole au Tchad - TCP/CHD/3602 2020

    L’amélioration de la production et de la productivité agricole constitue un véritable enjeu au Tchad pour combattre l’insécurité alimentaire qui sévit dans le pays. Les pouvoirs publics ont lancé un grand chantier de développement de la mécanisation agricole, notamment à travers la création d’une unité de montage des tracteurs agricoles et le lancement de l’opération labour au profit des paysans. Malgré ces efforts, le niveau d’équipement des exploitations agricoles reste encore en deçà des potentialités du pays. Face à cette situation, le Gouvernement a sollicité l’appui de la FAO pour formuler une stratégie nationale de mécanisation agricole impliquant le secteur privé, les organisations professionnelles ainsi que d’autres opérateurs.

    Rapport sur les résultats de la réunion régionale de la FAO sur les biotechnologies agricoles dans les systèmes alimentaires durables et la nutrition dans la région Asie et Pacifique 2018

    The FAO Regional Meeting on Agricultural Biotechnologies in Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition in Asia-Pacific was held from 11 to 13 September 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as a follow-up to the 2016 FAO International Symposium on “The Role of Agricultural Biotechnologies in Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition”. The purpose of the regional meeting was to engage a broad range of stakeholders in the dialogue on the role and application of agricultural biotechnologies to improve food security and nutrition and make food systems more sustainable in the Asia-Pacific region. The meeting highlighted that a wide range of low- to high-tech agricultural biotechnologies are currently being used in the crop, forestry, livestock and fishery sectors to ensure food and nutrition security and to enhance adaptation and resilience of the agriculture sector to climate change in the Asia-Pacific region. It also underlined that one of the key constraints in the development and application of agricultural biotechnologies in the region is lack of investments. The meeting further noted the large gap among countries in the region regarding the application, capacities and the enabling environment for agricultural biotechnologies, and called for countries and other relevant stakeholders to foster and strengthen partnerships, in particular through South-South Cooperation, public-private-partnerships, networking and other mechanisms, to increase investments and strengthen science and innovation cooperation so that the needs of smallholders in the region can be met. The outcomes of the deliberations have been captured and summarized in this information note.

    La mécanisation agricole durable: Cadre stratégique pour l´Afrique 2019
    Also available in:
    Ce cadre presente dix principes ou elements interdependants visant a orienter la mecanisation agricole durable de l’Afrique (MADA). Il expose en outre les aspects techniques a prendre en consideration dans le cadre de la MADA et les options a analyser au niveau national et sous-regional. L’analyse du cadre appelle une approche specifique qui implique de tirer des enseignements d’autres regions du monde ou le secteur de la mecanisation agricole a deja connu une profonde mutation en l’espace de trente a quarante ans ainsi que l’elaboration de politiques et de programmes visant a realiser les aspirations ≪Faim zero≫ de l’Afrique d’ici 2025. Cette approche suppose de definir et de hierarchiser des elements pertinents et interdependants pour aider les pays a elaborer des strategies et des plans de developpement pratiques permettant de creer des synergies conformes a leurs plans de transformation agricole. Etant donne les caracteristiques uniques de chaque pays et la diversite des besoins de l’Afrique due a l’eterogeneite ecologique et a la grande diversite des exploitations en matiere de taille, le cadre evite d’etre prescriptif
