No results found.Ce document présente le plan de travail national de l’initiative mondiale de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’Alimentation et l’Agriculture (FAO) relative au projet « Conservation et aménagement durable des Systèmes Ingénieux du Patrimoine Agricole Mondial (SIPAM) ». La Tunisie est l’un des six pays pilotes choisi pour cette initiative. L’oasis historique de Gafsa, avec ses spécificités en matière d’agrobiodiversité, a été sélectionnée comme un système pilote pour développer la méthodolog ie de la « conservation dynamique » des systèmes agricoles hérités (Voir e-mails et lettre de la FAO en annexes). La phase préparatoire du projet a été facilitée et coordonnée par l’Institut International des Ressources Phytogénétiques au niveau Maghrébin (Tunisie, Maroc et Algérie) et coordonnée au niveau national par l’Association pour la Sauvegarde de la Médina de Gafsa (ASM Gafsa) avec ses partenaires locaux, nationaux et internationaux, qui se sont impliqués activement durant cette phase d u projet (2005-2007). L’ASM Gafsa a été appuyée par le Fonds pour l’Environnement Mondial (FEM) à travers la subvention du PDF-B et à travers la collaboration du PNUD. Ce document propose le plan d’action pour la phase d’implémentation pour la conservation et la gestion durable des Systèmes Ingénieux du Patrimoine Agricole Mondial en Tunisie. -

Systèmes Ingénieux du Patrimoine Agricole Mondial (SIPAM)

No results found.Partout dans le monde, des générations d’agriculteurs et d’éleveurs ont créé des systèmes et des paysages agricoles spécifiques, les ont façonnés et les ont entretenus. Ces systèmes valorisent les ressources naturelles locales et leur gestion repose sur des pratiques adaptées au contexte local. Basés sur les savoirs et sur l’expérience locaux, ces systèmes agri-culturels ingénieux reflètent l’évolution du genre humain, sa profonde relation avec la nature et la diversité de ses savoirs. Ces systè mes ont façonné des paysages remarquables, ont contribué au développement d’une biodiversité agricole importante à l’échelle mondiale et, surtout, ils ont fourni de façon durable des services et des biens multiples à l’ensemble de la société et ont assuré aux populations locales la sécurité alimentaire et celle des moyens d’existence ainsi que la qualité de vie.

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. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportProposal from the United Arab Emirates For the designation under the GIAHS Program of Al Ain and Liwa Historical Date Palm Oases
Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
2015Also available in:
No results found.This document proposes to designate Al Ain and Liwa date palm oases as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Site (GIAHS) under the respective FAO programme. Al Ain and Liwa constitute globally significant in situ repositories of date palm genetic resources, and are home to ancient falaj irrigation systems, which bear testimony to human agricultural and technological ingenuity, with important lessons for future coping strategies and sustainable development in the face of climate change. Loc ated in a country, which has experienced extreme rapid development and undergone dramatic socio-economic change, the oases no longer have their traditional significance in subsistence agriculture. However, their iconic importance to the United Arab Emirates’ cultural identity and traditions, and the environmental quality they add to Al Ain and Liwa City as well as their role in national branding and sustainable tourism, cannot be overstated. A very active and dynamic conservation program, seekin g to revitalize the oases through a variety of measures, such as protection against urban encroachment, restoration of aflaj irrigation systems, and re-introduction of traditional agricultural management, is fully supported by state-of-the-art development plans, legislative initiatives, academic research and the highest level of Abu Dhabi’s government. -
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.
