DocumentOther documentUne analyse des coûts/bénéfices dans les pratiques de l’agriculture de conservation et dans l’agroforesterie à Haïti – Le cas de la culture d’haricots 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Cette fiche technique décrit les résultats d’une analyses coûts/bénéfices de l’introduction de pratiques de culture de conservation et d’agroforesterie dans des cultures d’haricots, dans les municipalités de Anse-à-Pitre et Belle Anse, à Haïti. Le but de l’introduction de ces bonnes pratiques étant d’augmenter la résilience des systèmes de production d’haricots contre les ouragans, les sècheresses et les ravageurs pouvant affecter les cultures. Dans ce cas-ci, les pratiques d’agriculture de conservation incluent le paillage, un labour minimum, une couverture végétale permanente, des cultures intercalaires et l’élimination des pratiques de culture sur brulis. Les techniques d’agroforesterie rassemblent la plantation de ligneux sur les terres cultivées, la plantation d’arbres en lisière ou brise-vent ou rideaux-abris, ou encore des cultures en couloirs ou barrages de haies. L’introduction de ces pratiques agricoles a permis d’améliorer la qualité du sol et de réduire les pertes d’eau dues au ruissellement ou à l’évapotranspiration et ainsi éviter ou réduire les pertes de récoltes causées par la présence de certains ravageurs et par les nombreux ouragans et vagues de sècheresses qui touchent le pays. -

Le projet pilote a été conçu pour répondre aux besoins de renforcer les capacités des agriculteurs de préparation aux urgences agricoles dans les pays des Caraïbes exposés aux catastrophes naturelles liées aux ouragans. Le projet débuta en février 2006 et avait pour objectif global d’aider les pays partici pants à favoriser la sécurité alimentaire des agriculteurs dans les régions les plus sujettes aux risques en améliorant les cadres institutionnels et les options techniques pour la préparation aux désastres liés aux ouragans, l’intervention d’urgence et l’assistance agricole post-urgence.

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. -
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.
