ProjectFactsheetEmergency Assistance to Restore Food Security and Fisheries/Livestock Livelihoods of Households Affected by Tropical Cyclone Harold in Vanuatu - TCP/VAN/3801 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Harold made landfall in Vanuatu on 6 April 2020, causing widespread and severe damage. The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) estimated that up to 176 161 people had been affected by the cyclone across the country, representing over 63 percent of the national population. Of this population, 143 795 people were located in the worst-affected provinces of Malampa, Penama and Sanma, where the majority are rural people. Food security and rural livelihoods were heavily impacted and in critical need of humanitarian support. In rural areas, over 97 percent of households are engaged in vegetable crop production, with over 73 percent of households producing cash crops, while over 85 percent of households are engaged in livestock production. Rapid technical assessments found that, during Tropical Cyclone Harold, over 80 percent of crops were damaged, and over 50 percent (death rate) of livestock and livestock infrastructure were damaged. In coastal communities, fishing activities are practised by almost 58 percent of households. Damage to fishing boats and engines severely affected fishing activities, which provide a valuable protein and income source. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -

Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
