ProjectFactsheetSupporting the Restoration of Degraded Forest-Steppe and Steppe Zones in Ukraine through Integrated Natural Resources Management - GCP/UKR/004/GFF 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Ukraine is known for being home to nearly 40 percent of the world’s chernozems, black soils that are extremely fertile and productive. Years of intensive agricultural production has led to the deterioration and erosion of these soils, depleting them of their organic matter and nutrients.Lines of trees known as shelterbelts were planted in the 1930s in the forest- steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine to combat erosion and improve soil quality; however, deforestation and continued intensive agricultural practices have worsened the wind and water erosion. A reduction in the amount of irrigated land in these zones has also contributed to the degradation of the chernozems. This project was formulated to restore the productivity and resilience of Ukraine’s black soils through the expansion of integrated natural resource management (INRM) practices, the restoration of shelterbelts and the establishment of regulations on their ownership and management, the introduction of agroforestry, and the creation of an enabling policy environment for sustainable land management (SLM). -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureIntegrated landscape management to reduce, reverse and avoid further degradation and support the sustainable use of natural resources in the Mopane-Miombo belt of Northern Namibia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Namibia’s unique Miombo-Mopane Woodland Ecoregion in the Okavango and Kunene basins is of capital importance for the country’s development, especially in the regions of Kavango East and Omusati where these dry forests prevail. At least 600,000 people live in the rural parts of Kavango East, Omusati and Oshikoto provinces that are dominated by Baikiaea, Miombo and Mopane forest. Rural communities rely on naturally resilient ecosystems for food, nutrition, shelter, medicine, fiber and the availability of water – highly valued and vital ecosystem services. These woodlands are threatened throughout their entire distribution, within a sub-region of Southern Africa that includes Namibia. Deforestation, uncontrolled wildfires and unsustainable use of natural resources are increasingly fragmenting and destroying Miombo-Mopane woodlands across the Kunene-Cuvelai and Okavango river basins, all of which originate in Angola, are internationally shared and sustain populations on both sides of the Angola-Namibia border. To initiate a transformational shift towards sustainable, integrated management of multi-use dryland landscapes in northern Namibia, building on Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) principles, Namibia is implementing an integrated landscape management project to reverse degradation and support the sustainable use of natural resources in the Mopane-Miombo belt of northern Namibia under the Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program on Dryland Sustainable Landscapes (SFM-DSL). -

Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of the FAO Strategy for Partnerships with the Private Sector
Thematic evaluation series
2019Also available in:
No results found.FAO adopted its Strategy for Partnerships with the Private Sector in 2013 to promote more private sector involvement in its programmes and operations, responding to calls of Member States. While there has been progress in establishing new partnerships, FAO has not fully capitalized on the potential of its partnership efforts, unlike several other United Nations agencies, which have developed new partnership strategies in response to the private sector emphasis of the 2030 Agenda. FAO’s private sector partnerships, linked to its Strategic Objectives, are generally limited in size and scope, demonstrating little replicability or sustainability of results. Most of the constraints are down to FAO’s internal processes and modus operandi, which hinder private sector engagement. The evaluation recommends that FAO develop a new vision on collaborating with the private sector, detailing its approaches in response to the 2030 Agenda and emerging development trends, and identify priority thematic areas for collaboration, ahead of an eventual revision of the Strategy and its guidelines. It also recommends the improvement of FAO’s internal partnership identification and management processes, and greater use of lessons learned from current partnerships. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
