No results found.L’élevage occupe une place économique majeure au Burkina Faso car pratiqué par plus de 80 pour cent des ménages. La contribution relative du sous-secteur de l’élevage au Produit Intérieur Brut (PIB) a varié entre 18,3 pour cent et 19,5 pour cent sur la période 2001 à 2008 (MRA-PNUD, 2011). Les produits de l’élevage occupent le second rang en termes de valeur des exportations dans le secteur primaire après le coton. Selon les statistiques de la balance des paiements, l es exportations de produits d’élevage en 2009 sont estimées à 60,3 milliards de FCFA (14,2 pour cent des exportations totales du pays), dont 52,2 pour cent pour le bétail et la volaille sur pied, 42,9 pour cent pour les cuirs et peaux, et 4,9 pour cent pour la viande et les abats. Les importations de produits animaux s’élevaient à 7,4 milliards de FCFA pour la même année, soit 1,1 pour cent du total des importations du Burkina Faso, et se composent à 92,4 pour cent de produits laitiers. Au plan microéconomique, l’enquête sur les conditions de vie des ménages de 2003 a révélé qu’environ 38,8pour cent des revenus monétaires des ménages ruraux proviennent de l’élevage (MRA-PNUD, 2011).De plus l’activité d’élevage occupe une place importante dans la stratégie de sécurité alimentaire et de réduction de la pauvreté dans les ménages ruraux. En effet, les incidences de recours à l’élevage pour la couverture des besoins alimentaires, de santé e t de scolarisation des enfants sont respectivement de 56,1 pour cent, 42 pour cent et 16 pour cent en 2007/2008. -
DocumentFactsheetRéduire les Pertes Alimentaires au Burkina Faso, en République Démocratiquedu Congo et en Ouganda - RBA GLO 001 SWI 2018Beaucoup de petits agriculteurs utilisent les céréales et les légumineuses comme aliment de base. Bien que les systèmes de production et d’après récolte soient en constante amélioration, certaines des pertes alimentaires les plus élevées ont lieu au niveau des exploitations, contribuant ainsi à la hausse des prix alimentaires et à l’élimination d’une partie des approvisionnements alimentaires. Avec l’intention partagée de réduire les pertes alimentaires en règle générale et les pertes après récolte en particulier, les agences basées à Rome (FAO, FIDA et PAM) ont uni leurs forces pour améliorer les capacités des parties prenantes à différents niveaux et pour mettre au point une approche axée sur le marché devant remédier aux inefficacités des chaînes d’approvisionnement en céréales qui entraînent des pertes de produits alimentaires dans les régions en déficit vivrier. En facilitant les liens et le partage d’informations grâce à une communauté de pratique mondiale sur la réduction des pertes alimentaires, qui a vu le jour dans le cadre de l’initiative mondiale SAVE FOOD, le projet a sensibilisé, identifié et diffusé des solutions et des stratégies de réduction des pertes alimentaires.

NewsletterNewsletterFall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, June 2021 - Issue #4 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible.

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. -

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.
