ProjectFactsheetPromoting Accelerated Green Investment in Agriculture through Capacity Building Of National Financial Institutions (RKDF) - TCP/KYR/3805 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Kyrgyzstan agriculture helped minimize the economic decline in living standards during the years of transition, but the sector still has a huge untapped potential that has been ignored to achieve structural reform, productivity growth and poverty reduction. Kyrgyzstan has been left behind, not only among Central Asia countries (from four to ten times lower income than the average), but also as part of the Lower-Middle Income Countries (1.5 times). The country faces numerous obstacles, such as inefficient use of water and land resources, weak extension systems, fragmented agricultural value chains, poor transport and logistics linkages and environmental disasters. In order to boost all its potential, the sector would need a strong political commitment, an enabling macroeconomic environment, and strengthened capacities of actors and institutions involved in agriculture. -
ProjectFactsheetImplementing the Horticulture Advancement Activity in Pakistan - GCP/PAK/144/USA 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The development of the horticulture sector in the Balochistanand Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces of Pakistan is hindered by a series of constraints, including a lack of access to inputs, markets and services among farmers and other value chain actors. Despite these constraints, the sector has a great deal of potential in these areas of the country, owing to their natural comparative advantage. Leveraging this potential could create jobs and increase competition in the sector, thereby lifting people out of poverty and improving their health and nutrition status. The Horticulture Advancement Activity (THAzA) was designed to enhance potentially viable horticulture value chains in the targeted areas by introducing new technologies and innovations and establishing various facilities to support sustainable agriculture. The project focused on the apple, apricot, grape, tomato and onion value chains in Balochistan, and on the same in KP, except for onion, which was replaced with potato. -
ProjectFactsheetHorticulture Cultivars Performance Information - MTF/GLO/697/MUL 2021
Also available in:
The aim of the HORTIVAR database is to facilitate access to information on the performance of horticultural crop cultivars and to help users to identify cultivars and cropping practices adapted to their specific requirements and environment. This aim was achieved and the database currently contains over 90 000 horticultural data sets, covering more than 28 000 cultivars and 1 000 species. It can now function as an information tool to help small scale farmers to take decisions based on factual information. In order to ensure sustainability, the project established a network of institutional and individual partners who can continue to use and enrich HORTIVAR without further project support. In addition, the awareness raising and training workshops organized under the project enabled many people to participate in knowledge exchange activities based on the HORTIVAR database, improving users’ capacities for conducting analysis on data sets.

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. -
BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change. -
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.
