Synopsis (short abstract) The Government of Namibia is seeking to increase and diversify crop production in order to generate income and increase food security in the country, among other things. In this context, the Government and private sector date growers have recognized the potential of date production in the country, and are working on the establishment of date palm plantations and the promotion of a date production industry. In order to implement these programmes successfully, it was necessary to address certain issues, such as a shortage of high-quality date cultivars, a lack of rapid techniques and modern facilities to propagate date palm, and a poor technical base.

    Enhancing Date Palm Cultivation and Production in Eritrea - TCP/ERI/3503 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The vast majority of farmers in Eritrea are subsistence growers, producing mainly for domestic consumption with little surplus for the market. The production of date palm offered an opportunity to improve farmers’ incomes and food security; however, the quality of high yielding varieties in the country was inadequate. The Government sought to assist farmers to access adequate quantities of high-quality, improved varieties of date palm, but progress was slow because of insufficient technical capacity. The project aimed to strengthen capacity to produce high-quality, improved and disease-free tissue-cultured planting materials of date palm and other crops for farming communities in the country.

Dans ce contexte, le gouvernement et les producteurs de dattes du secteur privé ont reconnu le potentiel de production de dattes du pays, et travaillent à la mise en place de plantations de dattiers et à la promotion d’une industrie de production de dattes. Afin de mettre en oeuvre ces programmes avec succès, certaines questions devaient être abordées, telles que la pénurie de cultivars de dattes de haute qualité, le manque de techniques rapides et d’équipements modernes de propagation des palmiers dattiers et la qualité médiocre des connaissances techniques.

    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.

    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.
