Synopsis (short abstract) In 2021, escalating civil unrest further displaced thousands of people in Myanmar, while a third wave of COVID-19 devastated the country. Nearly one in four people are currently experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity. With about three-quarters of the population relying on agriculture for their livelihoods, supporting rural households to restore their production is essential to the humanitarian response. Every USD 1 invested in vegetable production yields more than three times its value in harvests.

    Food insecurity is worsening in Myanmar, where more than a quarter of the population, 15.2 million people, are experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity. The combined impacts of conflict, political instability, economic crisis and longstanding poverty leave millions unable to access basic services and struggling to meet their families’ food needs. With three in four people dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, humanitarian support to restore rural households’ production is critical.

    Myanmar continues to face compounded humanitarian, economic and environmental shocks that are undermining agricultural livelihoods and food security, particularly among conflict-affected and displaced rural households. The Emergency and Resilience Plan (ERP) 2026–2028 outlines the integrated approach of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to protecting livelihoods, restoring food production and strengthening resilience. Combining time-critical agricultural assistance with climate-resilient practices, natural resource management, anticipatory action and strengthened evidence and coordination, the ERP bridges humanitarian response and medium-term recovery. With a funding requirement of USD 54.2 million, the ERP aims to support 176 000 households with coordinated, risk-informed interventions that reduce vulnerability and sustain agrifood systems.

    Displacement driven by conflict, inter-communal tensions and exposure to natural disasters characterize the humanitarian needs in Myanmar, particularly in Chin, Kachin, Rakhine and Shan states, where the most urgent humanitarian needs are felt. Intensified militarization and migration, and escalation of armed conflict increased risks of protection violations and sparked new and secondary displacements. Affected farmers need support to increase agricultural production and strengthen household assets. Protecting livelihoods and investing in disaster risk reduction will be critical in helping farmers reduce vulnerabilities, enhance resilience and cope better with disasters and other threats to their food security.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    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.
