DocumentOther documentFiches formateur. Formation sur les produits de qualité liée à l’origine: Outil pour une démarche participative vers des indications géographiques durables 2013
Also available in:
Certains produits agricoles et alimentaires se différencient par des caractéristiques, une qualité ou une réputation essentiellement dues à leur origine (lieu de production et/ou de transformation). Du fait de leur qualité liée à l’origine et aux ressources naturelles et culturelles locales, ces produits représentent un patrimoine alimentaire. Leur valorisation, notamment au travers d’une indication géographique, permet de contribuer au développement économique et rural et à la préservation de l a diversité biologique, culturelle et alimentaire. De telles démarches de valorisation sont relativement récentes et font l’objet de demandes d’appui et de lignes directrices. C’est pourquoi la FAO a lancé en 2007 un programme sur la qualité spécifique liée à l’origine, afin d’appuyer le développement de démarches durables dans ce domaine. -

Also available in:
Promouvoir les liens entre des acteurs locaux, leurs territoires et leurs produits agro-alimentaires peut constituer, dans les communautés rurales du monde entier, un outil pour le développement durable. Les produits du terroir présentent en effet des attributs de qualité liés aux territoires et à leurs acteurs, qui découlent de leurs savoir-faire spécifiques et des ressources naturelles locales et dont la valorisation contribue à préserver de telles ressources. -

Une méthodologie pour des inventaires participatifs
2012Dans le cadre du programme « Qualité & Origine » de la FAO, ce papier propose une approche méthodologique participative pour l’identification de produits dotés d’une qualité liée à l’origine, et pouvant servir de levier pour le développement rural et durable au travers du cercle vertueux dont ils peuvent être vecteurs (FAO & SINER-GI, 2009). La qualité est une construction collective, qui dépend de la vision des producteurs euxmêmes et des perceptions des consommateurs, elle est donc évolutive e t comporte des éléments objectifs et subjectifs. L’approche proposée vise donc à impliquer les acteurs locaux dans l’identification de leurs potentiels et à offrir des pistes de réflexion en fonction des caractéristiques identifiées, compte tenu des informations disponibles au moment de l’utilisation, en tant que potentiels que les producteurs et autres acteurs impliqués pourront explorer et confirmer selon la stratégie qu’ils entendent mettre en oeuvre.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLooking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
Challenges and opportunities for the sector
2021Also available in:
No results found.While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach.
