ProjectFactsheetImproving Livelihoods and Food Security of Rural Populations in Tajikistan through Strengthened Agricultural Institutions - GCP/TAJ/013/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In August 2012, the Government of Tajikistan approved the Agriculture Reform Programme (ARP) 2012 2020 with a view to supporting agricultural reform in the country, thereby driving plans and policies to reduce poverty, strengthening the livelihoods of rural populations and improving donor coordination. The reform was to be achieved across all agrarian sectors, including agriculture, land, water, agriculture financing and agriculture related governance, with the goal of enhancing private sector development and reducing the dependence of farmers upon state institutions. Given the consensus among Tajikistan’s development partners that the ARP has not been entirely successful on the ground, the present aimed to strengthen the agriculture reform agenda through support to restructuring of the MoA and other government institutions, as well as policy support, capacity building, training and technical assistance. Specifically, the project aimed to develop the technical and analytical capacities of staff in selected government departments, helping to design environmentally sustainable and gender sensitive agriculture policies, implement cost effective disease monitoring and control strategies, develop communication of new policies and regulations within all levels of government and adopting results based monitoring in the field, among other elements. -
ProjectFactsheetImproving Food Security and Rural Livelihoods through Women’s Economic Empowerment - UTF/AZE/015/AZE 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In Azerbaijan, rural women’s empowerment through agriculture has great potential, considering that 32 percent of female entrepreneurs are engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishing, compared with 24.4 percent of male entrepreneurs. In addition, 77 percent of women in Azerbaijan reside in rural areas. These statistics show how women play a significant role in agriculture. However, they face a number of challenges, such as gender pay gap, informality of jobs, a triple work burden (housework, working on household production and wage work), and poor access to social services, among others. In this context, few efforts, from either public or private providers, have been made in the country to comprehensively assess the needs of women farmers, and to approach them as a particular target group for training and advisory services. Against this background, the project was designed to cover both grassroot-level problems by improving rural women’s access to agricultural information, knowledge, credit, means for processing, and policy-level matters by strengthening gender-responsive rural advisory services and creating a gender-responsive policy environment. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Rural Livelihoods: Integrating Social Protection and Agriculture for Sustainable Development - FMM/GLO/157/MUL 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Globally, rural populations, heavily reliant on agriculture for their sustenance, are disproportionately affected by poverty. In order to meet the global poverty reduction and food security objectives of the SDGs, measures addressing their unique constraints are needed to enable them to actively engage in a beneficial process of agricultural growth and rural transformation. Zambia and Timor-Leste, the two target countries, have been grappling with persistent rural poverty, with high proportions of their populations living below the poverty line. COVID-19 exacerbated these challenges by disrupting agricultural markets, limiting mobility and shrinking income opportunities in rural areas. Strengthening coherence between social protection and agricultural interventions is critical not only for responding to the immediate challenges posed by COVID 19 but also for laying the basis for more inclusive economic development and resilience-building pathways in the medium and long term. This requires strengthening the institutional linkages between social protection and agricultural interventions, and the systems and human capacities required to manage these linkages. Against this background, the subprogramme supported the implementation of two programmes that involved the joint delivery of social protection and agriculture support – one in Timor Leste and one in Zambia.

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. -
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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
