Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide méthodologique des empreintes carbone et eau dans la production bananière 2025Le Forum mondial de la banane a publié un guide méthodologique visant à réduire les empreintes carbone et eau des plantations de bananes à l’échelle mondiale. Les membres du Groupe de travail sur les systèmes de production durable et l’impact environnemental reconnaissent que la production bananière contribue aux émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre et à la consommation d’eau douce. Ces enjeux, mis en lumière lors de la Conférence de Paris sur le climat en 2015 (COP21), font du secteur agricole un levier essentiel pour l’atténuation du changement climatique. Dans cette perspective, le groupe de travail entend participer activement à la lutte contre le changement climatique et à la promotion d’une gestion durable des ressources naturelles. Il développe ainsi des outils pratiques pour renforcer les efforts de l’industrie bananière mondiale en matière de réduction de son empreinte carbone et eau. Face aux difficultés rencontrées par les producteurs de bananes pour s’adapter aux changements climatiques, ce projet vise à favoriser et soutenir l’adoption des meilleures pratiques agricoles adaptées au climat, ainsi qu’une gestion efficace de l’eau dans la chaîne de valeur de la banane, en cohérence avec les stratégies environnementales des organisations. Les initiatives visant à réduire l’empreinte carbone et eau dans l’industrie bananière restent encore limitées et sont principalement portées par des multinationales. Cette situation s’explique notamment par les coûts de mise en œuvre, la complexité du sujet pour les producteurs, le manque d’outils de mesure adaptés, ainsi que par le fait qu’il s’agit encore d’une approche peu connue des consommateurs. Bien que la nécessité d’analyser et de réduire les empreintes carbone et eau dans l’industrie bananière soit largement admise, les incitations financières restent insuffisantes, tant de la part des gouvernements que du marché mondial.

BookletCorporate general interestDesigning carbon market projects in the agriculture, forestry and land use sector
Opportunities for agroforestry in South and Southeast Asia
2025Also available in:
No results found.This design brief will support countries in accessing voluntary carbon markets through agrifood system projects. This research is vital for Southeast Asia to balance economic growth with sustainable development in global carbon trading and climate mitigation. This publication covers the carbon policy landscape, the connectivity between Compliance and Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM), and an in-depth analysis of VCM in six countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, India, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Focusing on agroforestry, this brief highlights climate-smart solutions, emissions reduction, and agricultural resilience. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePotential Impacts on Sub-Saharan Africa of Reducing Food Loss and Waste in the European Union
A focus on food prices and price transmission effects
2015Also available in:
No results found.This paper uses scenario analyses to investigate how reductions in food loss and waste (FLW) in the European Union (EU) could influence prices in sub-Saharan Africa – as a source and destination of traded agricultural and food products. In addition to a baseline “business as usual” (BaU) scenario, four scenarios with 50-percent reductions are enacted using the Modular Applied GeNeral Equilibrium Tool (MAGNET). The analysis provides insights on potential impacts in terms of medium- to long-term g lobal and local price changes in sub- Saharan Africa and the mechanisms behind them – changes in production, consumption and trade patterns. It also provides insights into the potential welfare impacts. The research shows that loss or waste of safe and nutritious food for human consumption is being prevented and reduced in the EU concurrent to actions in other regions. The potential intra- and inter-regional impacts on food prices and welfare therefore need to be further researched and projected . The research also shows that high-level considerations of the socio-economic impacts of FLW need to be balanced with value chain analyses that include data on costs related to the prevention and reduction measures to be implemented for short-, mediumand long-term returns on investments along food supply chains, including at the end consumption level. -

Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture. -
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.
