    Enhancing Institutional Capacities in Statistical Data Collection and Analysis in the Agricultural Sector in OECS Member States - TCP/SLC/3607 2021

    Throughout the Caribbean, decision makers in the agricultural sector are required to make efficient use of resources through the adoption of suitable policy However, making well informed evidence based policy decisions relies upon high quality data, statistics and analyses In the OECS, data production and analysis have historically been an obstacle to the development of agricultural policies and programmes that make impactful changes Moreover, the monitoring and evaluation of policies and national programmes also requires ongoing collection and analysis of data that is both reliable and relevant Agriculture will continue to play a crucial role in the development of the economies of OECS member states However, sustainable value creation along agricultural value chains also depends on the incorporation of both social and environmental considerations National economies (and the regional economy) must therefore be developed based on a participatory approach that considers outcomes for all stakeholders in the agriculture sector, and the collection of data for analysis of these outcomes must be carried out accordingly This project was designed to strengthen the planning function of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines by supporting the development of their agricultural statistics systems.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
