Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureManagement Strategy of Transboundary Plant Pests and Diseases (TPPDs) in NENA Region 2023
Also available in:
Food security and safety in the NENA region are threatened by TPPD. Production of healthy plants, and sustainable food production systems in the NENA region requires specific solutions. In addition, proper policies and legislation, smart investments, regional collaboration, and planning are all key factors in ensuring higher efficiency levels and prompt responses to threats to food systems. To date, NENA countries are not adequately prepared to respond effectively to new and re-emerging transboundary plant pests and diseases. On this occasion, we urge NENA countries and plant protection experts to support establishing a regional program to face all risks posed by transboundary plant pests and diseases in the NENA region. -

BookletCorporate general interestRegional strategy for sustainable management of transboundary plant pests and diseases in the Near East and North Africa region 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Plant pests and diseases threaten food security and nutrition around the world and seriously compromise food security in the in Near East and North Africa (NENA) region, with severe economic and environmental consequences. Most of these transboundary diseases are transmitted by propagative plant material and have no curative measures. The lack of harmonized certified propagation materials and relative diagnostic protocols in NENA countries increases considerably the spread of transboundary plant pest and diseases. Furthermore, the deficiency of correct control measure and applied quarantine control strategies, together with the absence of surveillance and early warning systems are the main factors causing the fast spread of those destructive agents.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (series)YearbookWorld Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Statistical Yearbook 2024 offers a synthesis of the major factors at play in the global food and agricultural landscape. Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture.
