DocumentEvaluation reportJoint Evaluation of GCP/PHI/042/NET Sustainable Agrarian Reform Communities - Technical Support to Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (FAO/SARC-TSSARD) 2001
Also available in:
No results found.The evaluation was intended "as the Project draws to a close, to provide recommendations to the Governments of the Netherlands and the Philippines and to FAO on further steps necessary to consolidate progress and ensure achievement of the objectives". Further needs for external assistance were to be identified, bearing in mind that the Government of Australia has already begun to examine the possibilities for its eventual support to the programme". -

Report of the Evaluation Mission
2001Also available in:
No results found.The following draft represents the views of the independent evaluation mission on the performance and achievements of the Control of Foot and Mouth Disease in the Philippines (CFMDP) project. The project began its first phase in 1996; following an independent technical review and in line with the recommendation of a Tripartite Review, a consolidation phase was approved in 1999. The present evaluation focuses mainly on this phase of the project. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of the project “FAO support to the Georgian agricultural sector (European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development [ENPARD III])”
Project code: GCP/GEO/011/EC
2023Also available in:
No results found.This document is a terminal evaluation of the project “FAO support to the Georgian agricultural sector (European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development [ENPARD III])”. The project was funded under the third phase of the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD III) and implemented in Georgia from 1 January 2018 to 30 November 2022. The evaluation’s aim was to assess the overall achievement of the project objectives and outcomes, to evaluate the project’s success, identify good implementation practices, drawbacks, and lessons learned, and to renew the linkages to other projects and partnerships or arrangements in place that have contributed to the adequate implementation of project activities.The evaluation covered the whole project implementation period, including three main areas of concern: i) capacity development of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture (MEPA); ii) grant support to farmers/agricultural companies; and iii) technical support to famers. A systematic and objective assessment was made of the project design, the project’s implementation and its results in order to determine the project’s relevance and achievement of objectives, but also its efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability. The evaluation was theory-based and used a utilization-focused and participatory approach. The assessment applied a qualitative approach to collect the data, and utilized the following tools: i) desk review; ii) interviews with project stakeholders; iii) focus group discussions with project end beneficiaries; and iv) field visits to project sites.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.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. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
