Book (stand-alone)Technical bookÉvaluation préliminaire de l'impact- La réhabilitation de la chaîne de valeur cacao au Ghana: 2018–2028 2021
Also available in:
Les évaluations préliminaires de la chaîne de valeur du cacao à l'aide de l'outil de chaîne de valeur EX-ACT de la FAO montrent qu'elle a un potentiel important pour améliorer les revenus des agriculteurs tout en atténuant le changement climatique. Avec une stratégie de rénovation et de réhabilitation de mise en œuvre de l'agroforesterie de l'ombre du cacao dans les anciennes plantations à faible rendement, l'impact d'atténuation de la chaîne de valeur atteint environ 146 millions de tCO2e au cours des 20 prochaines années. Cela se traduit par une empreinte carbone de - 5,6 tCO2e pour chaque tonne de cacao produite. En outre, le revenu brut par agriculteur augmente de près de 38 pour cent - jusqu'à 10,46 USD par jour ouvrable d'ici 2028. La plus grande partie de la valeur ajoutée provenant du scénario amélioré peut être attribuée au producteur - plus de 1 milliard USD en valeur globale de plus de 1,6 milliard USD d'ici 2028. En outre, la chaîne de valeur du cacao créera 277 669 emplois supplémentaires et augmentera la résilience climatique de près de 1,85 million d'hectares de paysage au Ghana. -

EX-ACT value chain case study
2019Also available in:
No results found.This report is a case study of a multi-impact appraisal of a cacao value chain in Haiti. The value chain is analysed from production to the distribution of rice to retailers, comparing the performance of an upgrading scenario to a baseline scenario. In the present case, cocoa is grown in the traditional form with low levels of agroforestry application. With the project, new agroforestry cocoa plantations are developed on degraded land and in existing plantations, agricultural practices are improved to increase yield and producers are trained in existing plantations to effectively utilize fermentation practices. The implementation of the project will lead to mitigation of 552 tCO2-e per year, creating an emission sink of 0.8 tCO2-e per hectare per year for the entire project area. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyUnderstanding women’s roles and trade potential along the fisheries and aquaculture value chains: Case studies from Ghana and Nigeria
Making the African Continental Free Trade Area work for women
2024Also available in:
No results found.This qualitative study was developed under the Empowering women and boosting livelihoods through agricultural trade: Leveraging the AfCFTA programme, co-implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Trade Centre (ITC). It seeks to assess gender dynamics along the fisheries and aquaculture value chains in Ghana and Nigeria, focusing particularly on women’s roles, barriers and trade potential. This report also provides gender-specific recommendations to address the identified challenges and enhance women’s trade potential in the selected regional value chain in Ghana and Nigeria.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -

Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. 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.
