Des niveaux alarmants d’insécurité alimentaire dans plusieurs régions d'Afrique orientale en raison d’une grave sécheresse
2017Also available in:
En Afrique de l’Est, les cultures et les pâturages sont actuellement gravement touchés par une sécheresse généralisée, laissant craindre une détérioration significative de l'insécurité alimentaire d'ici le début de 2017. Les régions situées au premier rang des préoccupations sont le centre et le sud de la Somalie, le sud-est de l'Éthiopie, le nord et l'est du Kenya, le nord et l’est de la République-Unie de Tanzanie et le sud-est de l'Ouganda. Les fortes hausses des prix des céréales et des produits d’origine animale limitent l'accès à la nourriture d’un grand nombre de ménages. Les chocs climatiques récurrents ont sapé la résilience des ménages et il est urgent de fournir un soutien aux activités agricoles. -
Book (series)Technical studyPlugin de stress hydrique pour le système d’évaluation et de planification de l'eau (WEAP)
Utilisation de l'outil d'évaluation et de planification de l'eau pour le calcul de l’indicateur 6.4.2 des objectifs de développement durable
2024Ce rapport présente le manuel d'instruction du nouveau plugin de stress hydrique développé par la FAO en collaboration avec le Centre américain de l'Institut de l'environnement de Stockholm pour le calcul de l'indicateur 6.4.2 des ODD "Niveau de stress hydrique: prélèvement d'eau douce en proportion des ressources en eau douce disponibles" par bassin hydrographique. Depuis que l'indicateur a été introduit en 2015, il a été largement utilisé pour estimer le niveau de stress hydrique au niveau national ou régional. Grâce à ce nouveau plugin, les pays seront en mesure d'évaluer L'indicateur 6.4.2 des ODD au niveau des bassins et des sous-bassins, offrant ainsi une vision différente et plus solide sur le plan hydrologique de la dynamique des ressources en eau et de leur utilisation. Le plugin permet d'explorer les tendances spatiales et interannuelles du niveau de stress hydrique au sein d'un bassin en évitant tout comptage multiple de ses ressources en eau douce et en prenant en considération les besoins d'approvisionnement en eau des différentes sections du bassin. En soutenant l'amélioration du suivi et de la gestion des ressources en eau, ce rapport contribue à la réalisation de l'ODD 6.

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.
