Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRapid Assessment of Natural Resource Degradation in Refugee Impacted Areas in Northern Uganda
Technical Report June 2019 - Updated based on April 2019 refugee statistics
2020Also available in:
No results found.This report summarizes the main findings and recommendations of the assessment, updated to reflect the most recent (April 2019) refugee population figures. These are expected to guide WB support to the Government of Uganda (GoU)—including the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) and an IDA disbursement window for refugee-affected countries—as well as provide information of wider strategic value to other agencies concerned with the impacts of refugees on natural resources in Uganda. A similar analysis is being undertaken for the refugee settlements in west and south-west Uganda and will result in a second assessment report that will add to the evidence base for the WB/GoU interventions. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileBuilding a common vision for sustainable food and agriculture
Principles and approaches
2014Over the coming 35 years, agriculture will face an unprecedented confluence of pressures, including a 30 percent increase in the global population, intensifying competition for increasingly scarce land, water and energy resources, and the existential threat of climate change. To provide for a population projected to reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and support changing dietary patterns, estimates are that food production will need to increase from the current 8.4 billion tonnes to almost 13.5 billion tonnes a year. Achieving that level of production from an already seriously depleted natural resource base will be impossible without profound changes in our food and agriculture systems. We need to expand and accelerate the transition to sustainable food and agriculture which ensures world food security, provides economic and social opportunities, and protects the ecosystem services on which agriculture depends. This report is aimed primarily at policy makers and others who make or influence national and institutional decisions and actions. It is the outcome of intensive consultations and discussions aimed at developing a common approach to FAO’s work on sustainability. That process was conducted in a climate of cross-sectoral collaboration that drew on the contributions of leading specialists in crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, and natural resources. It builds on the Organization’s long experience in developing sustainability concepts, approaches and tools, and offers a common vision of the agriculture sector and of the inter-sectoral synergies aiming at making agriculture more productive and sustainable. -
DocumentOther documentPriorities for food and agriculture in the Near East and North Africa Region 2020
Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa (RNE) has embarked on a series of reflections with the purpose of informing future strategic directions in the region. Part of this process includes a strategic thinking exercise to review current trends and evolving country needs and consider future challenges and opportunities for agriculture, food systems, food security and the environment in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) Region. The purpose of this paper is to identify key strategic priorities for food and agriculture in the region for the next ten years, and how FAO can best support countries in addressing these priorities in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
