Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileHaiti: Response overview, April 2023 2023
Also available in:
No results found.According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, nearly half of the population in Haiti is in high acute food insecurity (March–June 2023) – an increase compared with 4.7 million people projected in the September 2022 analysis. With limited funding received in 2022, only 80 000 people have been reached with livelihoods support in rural areas, accounting for about 11.4 percent of people targeted. In 2023, FAO requires USD 61.7 million to support 700 000 people. -
BookletEmergency responseHaiti: Response Overview, August 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In Haiti, the rise in armed gang violence, especially in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince, has led to significant population displacement within the country. Moreover, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (March 2024), half of the population in Haiti is in high acute food insecurity. The main drivers of food insecurity in the country include increased violence, poor agricultural production due to below-average rainfall, inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. In response, FAO requires a total funding of USD 52.6 million to assist 608 000 people. For the remaining months of 2024, FAO will focus on implementing its emergency activities in some of the areas most affected by the crisis, namely the Grand’Anse, Artibonite and Nippes departments, and the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEmergency responseHaiti: Response overview, November 2024 2024
Also available in:
In Haiti, alarming levels of armed gang violence continue to trigger significant population displacement within the country and limit the circulation of goods, contributing to increased prices of basic foodstuffs. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (September 2024) indicates that Haiti still has one of the highest proportions of acutely food-insecure people worldwide and results are the highest ever recorded in the country – 1 in 2 Haitians is in IPC Phase 3 and above, including 6 000 people in famine-like conditions (IPC Phase 5). The main drivers of food insecurity in the country are increased violence, limited access to food, high inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. To date, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) total requirement for 2024 – under the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan and Urgent call for assistance (May 2024) – remains only 12 percent funded. Reaching the most vulnerable households with emergency assistance is cost‑effective and enables quick, self-sustained food production.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProcessing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale. -
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 (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.
