MeetingMeeting documentLa situation de l'alimentation et de l'agriculture dans la région Asie et Pacifique, y compris sous l'angle des perspectives et des nouveaux enjeux 2018Dans l’ensemble, la région Asie et Pacifique a accompli de remarquables progrès en matière de réduction de l’insécurité alimentaire et de la malnutrition, par rapport aux niveaux qui prévalaient au milieu des années 1960. Le développement de l’agriculture, notamment la culture, l’élevage, la pêche (croissance bleue) et les forêts, a joué un rôle important pour rendre ces progrès possibles. Le document propose une description analytique du processus qui a permis à la région de parvenir à la situation actuelle. Il présente une analyse des différentes approches adoptées par les gouvernements dans la région pour favoriser le développement agricole, la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition, afin d’expliquer les différences constatées entre les pays en matière de sécurité alimentaire et de nutrition. Les enseignements tirés de ces expériences permettent, d’une part, d’évaluer les perspectives concernant la réalisation des Objectifs de développement durable (ODD), en particulier l’ODD 2, et, d’autre part, de s’attaquer aux nouveaux défis que sont le changement climatique, les maladies et ravageurs endémiques et émergents ou leurs vecteurs, l’urbanisation et, enfin, le vieillissement de la population. Les délégués sont invités à échanger leurs points de vue, à faire part de leurs expériences dans leurs pays, à mettre en commun des informations sur la situation de la région en matière de sécurité alimentaire et à présenter des idées et des suggestions pour atteindre les ODD.

ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -
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.
