The legacy stockpile, thought to be largest in the world at a single site, was removed from a government compound in the centre of Chattogram, Bangladesh’s second largest city. Bangladesh becomes the first country to launch FAO’s ‘One Country One Priority Product’. An inception workshop was held at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) for a new project that will support small-scale farmers and entrepreneurs to benefit from the country’s national fruit. The Ministry of Agriculture led a World Soil Day celebration, attended by the honourable minister, Muhammad Abdur Razzaque. The theme year’s theme was ‘Soils: where food begins’. The impact of climate change on the country’s fisheries sector was the focus of a national dialogue held to mark the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture 2022. FAO is the lead United Nations agency for celebrating the year. A project to increase food security for households most affected by the COVID-19 crisis in at-risk low-income urban areas has provided 4 050 smallholder farmers in Dhaka with agricultural inputs and tools including vegetable seeds, seed trays, vermi-compost, silos, spades, nets, and watering cans. The joint FAO, World Food Programme (WFP), and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) project is funded by the Government of Sweden.Smallholder farmers in areas vulnerable to monsoon floods will be better prepared this year thanks to a scaling-up of anticipatory action. Last year, record-breaking floods wreaked havoc, affecting an estimated 7.2 million people in the north-eastern region. -

Also available in:
No results found.Urban forestry is not a one-size-fits-all solution; each city and region, with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, requires tailored strategies. In recognition of the diversity and distinctiveness of urban forestry issues and their potential for mitigating environmental and socioeconomic inequality across the globe, FAO has asked experts around the world to share their views on how urban forests and trees are perceived and managed in their respective geographical areas, bringing together a broad range of regional perspectives. The primary goal of this publication is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of urban forestry worldwide. By showcasing the regional perspectives, insights, experiences and case studies in urban and peri-urban forestry (UPF), we hope to inspire individuals, communities and policymakers to reimagine their relationships with urban green spaces. -

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.
