BookletHigh-profileThe status of women in agrifood systems in sub-Saharan Africa
Overview
2025Also available in:
Building on the momentum generated by FAO’s 2023 Status of Women in Agrifood Systems global report, this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the status of women in agrifood systems in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting their vital yet often undervalued roles. It explores how gender inequality intersects with climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic factors to impact women’s livelihoods, food security, and access to natural resources. Drawing on African-led research and stakeholder consultations, the report identifies persistent barriers and showcases transformative opportunities for gender equality. Key themes include women’s work, food security and nutrition, natural resource rights, climate impacts, innovation, and women’s agency and collective action. It emphasizes the need for gender-transformative policies, improved data, and inclusive governance to foster resilient, equitable, and sustainable agrifood systems. The overview distills the main messages and recommendations. -
DocumentOther documentDesarrollo agrícola sostenible para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición:¿qué función desempeña la ganadería?
Un informe del Grupo de alto nivel de expertos en seguridad alimentaria y nutrición. Agosto 2016
2016En el presente informe se abordan las dimensiones económica, ambiental y social del desarrollo agrícola, con el objetivo de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, por lo que se refiere a la disponibilidad, el acceso, la utilización y la estabilidad. Se hace especial hincapié en el componente pecuario de los sistemas agrícolas, dada la función de la ganadería como motor para el desarrollo de la agricultura y el sector alimentario, y como impulsora de importantes cambios económicos, so ciales y ambientales en los sistemas alimentarios de todo el mundo. En el informe se determinan los desafíos que se plantean para lograr la sostenibilidad en los sistemas ganaderos, así como posibles vías hacia el desarrollo agrícola sostenible que contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición tanto en la actualidad como en el futuro. El informe concluye con la formulación de recomendaciones sobre medidas pertinentes que los responsables de la formulación de políticas y las partes intere sadas podrían adoptar. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable food cold chains: Opportunities, challenges and the way forward 2022
Also available in:
An estimated 14 percent of the total food produced for human consumption is lost, while 17 per cent is wasted. This is enough to feed around 1 billion people in a world where currently 811 million people are hungry and 3 billion cannot afford a healthy diet. The lack of effective refrigeration is a leading contributor to this challenge, resulting in the loss of 12 percent of total food production, in 2017. Moreover, the food cold chain is responsible for 4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, including from cold chain technologies and food loss and waste due to lack of refrigeration. This report explores how food cold chain development can become more sustainable and makes a series of important recommendations. These include governments and other cold chain stakeholders collaborating to adopt a systems approach and develop National Cooling Action Plans, backing plans with financing and targets, implementing and enforcing ambitious minimum efficiency standards. The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer – a universally ratified multilateral environmental agreement – can contribute to mobilizing and scaling up solutions for delivering sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly cooling through its Kigali Amendment and Rome Declaration. Reducing non-CO2 emissions, including refrigerants used in cold chain technologies is key to achieve the Paris Agreement targets, as highlighted in the latest mitigation report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). At a time when the international community must act to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, sustainable food cold chains can make an important difference.
