No results found.This Working Paper looks at forest output and production in the Asia-Pacific region and analyses the state of markets and major trade flows. Major issues and constraints facing forestry are discussed and the outlook for the sector is presented. The "most likely" future scenario for forest product supply and demand is presented, drawing on the findings of other major international and regional institutions such as ITTO, the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank. Appendices provide the major t rade statistics for the region.

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipLa Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2020
Relever le défi de l’eau dans l’agriculture
2020Les contraintes croissantes qui pèsent sur l’eau menacent la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition. Il faut agir d’urgence pour que l’eau utilisée dans l’agriculture le soit de façon plus durable et plus équitable. L’agriculture irriguée reste de loin le principal utilisateur des ressources en eau douce, mais ces ressources font l’objet d’une demande croissante et d’une concurrence accrue qui créent des situations de rareté de plus en plus préoccupantes. L’agriculture pluviale, confrontée à la variabilité des précipitations sous l’effet du changement climatique, n’est pas non plus épargnée. Ces tendances ne feront qu’exacerber les conflits entre les divers utilisateurs et les inégalités dans l’accès à l’eau, en particulier au détriment des petits agriculteurs, des ruraux pauvres et des autres populations vulnérables. L’édition 2020 de La Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture présente de nouvelles estimations sur l’étendue de la rareté de l’eau dans l’agriculture irriguée et des pénuries d’eau dans l’agriculture pluviale, ainsi que sur le nombre de personnes touchées. Ces estimations font apparaître des écarts considérables entre les pays et également entre les régions à l’intérieur des pays. Les données rassemblées dans la présente édition servent de base à une réflexion sur les mesures que pourraient prendre les pays, compte tenu de la nature et de l’ampleur du problème mais aussi d’autres facteurs tels que les systèmes de production agricole, le niveau de développement et les structures politiques. On trouvera aussi des indications sur les priorités qui pourraient être suivies dans le choix des politiques et des interventions pour lutter contre les contraintes hydriques dans le secteur agricole tout en assurant un accès à l’eau efficient, durable et équitable. -
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.
