ProjectFactsheetCréer des emplois plus nombreux et de meilleure qualité pour les jeunes ruraux - GCP/INT/335/MUL 2024La population mondiale des jeunes (15 à 24 ans) a atteint le chiffre sans précédent de 1,2 milliard, dont environ 85 pour cent vivent en Afrique, en Asie, en Amérique latine et dans les Caraïbes, principalement dans les zones rurales. Bien que ce chiffre exceptionnellement élevé représente une opportunité significative pour le rajeunissement des systèmes agroalimentaires, les jeunes continuent de se détourner de ces systèmes, en raison de facteurs tels que le faible accès à la terre et aux autres ressources naturelles, aux infrastructures, au financement, à la technologie, aux connaissances et aux services d’appui, la situation étant aggravée par la faiblesse des rémunérations. Dans les zones rurales, en particulier, la transition des jeunes vers un travail décent est entravée par le manque d'opportunités d'emplois productifs. Il est donc essentiel de répondre à leurs besoins afin d'exploiter pleinement leur contribution au développement des systèmes agroalimentaires.

ProjectFactsheetPromouvoir la gouvernance concertée de la migration au Sénégal pour le développement rural et l’emploi des jeunes - TCP/SEN/3702 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Au Sénégal, les migrations des jeunes ruraux (tant internes qu’externes) constituent un phénomène important et d’ampleur croissante, avec notamment une augmentation préoccupante de l’immigration irrégulière dans des conditions périlleuses Les raisons de ce phénomène sont étroitement liées à la pauvreté rurale De nombreux jeunes ne voient en effet aucun avenir dans l’agriculture ou dans l’économie rurale au sens large, et leur départ prive le secteur agricole des ressources humaines nécessaires à la production de richesses, à la création d’emplois ainsi qu’à une meilleure sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle Or ce phénomène est rarement inclus de manière cohérente dans les politiques publiques, et la coordination avec des domaines politiques tels que l’agriculture et le développement rural fait défaut Le projet visait à contribuer au renforcement de la gouvernance des migrations aux niveaux national et local aux moyens d’une meilleure inclusion de l’agriculture et du développement rural dans les politiques migratoires. -

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)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)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
