No results found.FAO has raised its estimates of 2001 global paddy production to 591.1 million tonnes (395.3 million tonnes, in milled equivalent), mainly on account of upward adjustments in Bangladesh and Thailand. At that level, the season would end 7 million tonnes below the output gathered in 2000, with much of the drop concentrated in Asia. Based on current figures, Australia, Bangladesh, India and the United States experienced large increases in production, while Brazil, Mainland China, Egypt, Indo nesia, Japan, Pakistan and Vietnam recorded sizeable declines.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
