Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSyrian Arab Republic – Post-earthquake rapid needs assessment on agricultural livelihoods and production in the northwest
Data in Emergencies Impact report, April 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.On 6 February 2023, two devastating earthquakes struck southern Türkiye also affecting the northwestern governorates of the Syrian Arab Republic, causing extensive damage to agricultural livelihoods and production. This Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) report presents the results of the assessment carried out in March 2023 conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Data collection lasted for seven days and took place from 9 to 15 March. A total of 190 interviews were conducted in 135 communities. FAO created the DIEM-Impact system to provide a rapid, granular analysis of the consequences of large-scale hazards on agricultural value chains and livelihoods. This analysis is based on a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information collection, remote sensing technologies, and FAO's damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact can be activated in the context of sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards, natural or human-induced, including floods, cyclones and tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, drought, invasive pests such as fall armyworm, pandemics and economic crises. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEmergency responseMyanmar earthquake: Urgent call for assistance 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025 caused widespread devastation across key agricultural regions, severely disrupting rural livelihoods and food production systems. The disaster impacted cropland, livestock assets, irrigation infrastructure and food storage facilities and compounded existing vulnerabilities in communities already affected by instability and food insecurity. With the monsoon planting season approaching, disruptions to agricultural inputs and markets threaten to worsen the crisis. In support of humanitarian response efforts, FAO is seeking USD 8.3 million to assist 71 000 people through time-critical interventions, including the provision of agricultural inputs, financial assistance and the rehabilitation of damaged rural infrastructure. This document provides an overview of the impact of the earthquake on agriculture-based livelihoods, FAO’s planned response and funding requirements. The targets and funding outlined in this document are additional to FAO’s goal of assisting 400 000 people under the 2025 Myanmar Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, which requires USD 28.5 million. -

2024Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conducted a comprehensive post-earthquake impact assessment in the northwest of the Syrian Arab Republic targeting rural households in 17 subdistricts situated in Aleppo and Idleb governorates. Data were collected between 30 August and 16 September 2023 with a total of 3 325 households surveyed. An additional 60 surveys were conducted strategically to enhance geographical representation by targeting areas that were underrepresented in the initial survey sample, aiming to capture a broader range of perspectives and improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.FAO established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.

BookletCorporate general interestAgrifood solutions to climate change
FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2025 2025The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the 2030 Agenda is now more crucial than ever, as the target date draws near and many goals are still far from being achieved. Countries across the globe are grappling with an array of complex and interconnected challenges, including ongoing conflicts, health crises, biodiversity loss, the escalating impacts of climate change, and political and economic tensions. FAO is the custodian agency for 22 SDG indicators spanning Goals 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Among its key responsibilities as a custodian agency is to curate the indicator methodologies, collect, harmonize and compile data from countries, as well as disseminate and analyse data at global level. This report provides an analysis of regional and global figures and trends for the 22 SDG indicators under FAO's responsibility, thus fulfilling one of FAO’s key roles as custodian agency. The world is at a moderate distance from achieving roughly half of the food and agriculture-related SDG indicators under FAO custodianship; one-quarter of the indicators are close to being achieved, whereas another quarter remains far or very far from being achieved. Meanwhile, progress since 2015 has deteriorated on over three-fifths of the indicators; one indicator has stagnated; whereas only the remaining one-third of indicators have registered an improvement or slight improvement.

Book (series)Technical studyNational gender profile of agriculture and rural livelihoods
Republic of Tajikistan
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) for Tajikistan offers a comprehensive analysis of gender equality in agriculture and rural development. It identifies key gender disparities, examines their root causes and impacts, and proposes actionable recommendations for gender-responsive policies. Despite being the main agricultural workforce and playing a critical role in food security, women’s contributions remain undervalued, under-recognized, and largely unpaid. With increasing male outmigration from rural areas, women’s roles on farms are expanding, underscoring the urgent need to invest in their empowerment to boost agricultural productivity, enhance food security, and drive sustainable rural development.
