DocumentOther documentSynthesis of WAW country case studies
A World Agricultures Watch report
2014Also available in:
No results found.The elaboration of an international typology of agricultural holdings is a core task under the WAW methodological framework in order to 1) facilitate the comparison between different holdings, and 2) address the monitoring of transformations to inform policy debate at country level. Both aspects shall contribute to enhance poverty analysis and policy formulation, highlighting stakes and the needs of the most vulnerable groups. The aim of the present report is to summarize the key findings of t he typology developments undertaken in seven countries.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

Livestock are an essential part of climate action on the ground in the agricultural sectors. Ninety-two developing countries have included livestock in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). More needs to be done as the livestock sector is growing rapidly. Livestock contribute 34% of global protein for human nutrition. But their contribution to food security and nutrition goes beyond this figure. They provide a diversity of essential micronutrients and many goods and services that are critical to livelihood of pastoralists and the majority of smallholders. Hundreds of millions of vulnerable people rely on livestock to cope with climate change. Emissions from livestock production can be substantially reduced by : • Improving efficiency in natural resource use to reduce emission intensity; • Increasing soil carbon in pastures and biomass by improving grazing management; • Reducing emissions by better integrating livestock into the circular (bio-) economy (e.g. by-products and wastes).
