Synopsis (short abstract) The overall objective of this ESIA is to determine the potential adverse environmental and social impacts of the various activities of the PROREFISH at each stage of the project and develop a comprehensive ESMP that can be adopted to minimize, mitigate, or avoid these adverse impacts as well as maximise the potential benefits of the project. The scope of study was to undertake the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the construction works at all targeted fish processing and landing sites, and fish mill targeted sites including aquaculture sites.

    Building resilience to cope with climate change in Jordan through improving water use efficiency in the agriculture sector (BRCCJ) 2025
    Also available in:
    Jordan, recognized as one of the most water-scarce nations globally, confronts formidable climate change risks. The exacerbation of water scarcity due to climate change profoundly impacts rural and urban areas, posing threats to household safety, health, livelihoods, and sustainable development. Jordan's susceptibility to climate hazards is compounded by erratic rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, and an unprecedented population surge. Certain sectors, notably agriculture, bear a heightened vulnerability, with 61 percent of cultivated land relying on rainfed agriculture. In response to documented exposure, vulnerability, and adaptation deficits, project interventions target four Governorates within the Dead Sea Basin, namely Karak, Madaba, Talifah, and Ma’an. Aligned with Jordan's climate change policy (2013-2020), the project aims to bolster adaptive capacity among communities and institutions, cater to the needs of vulnerable demographics, and enhance the resilience of water management systems and the agricultural sector in the face of climate change.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.

    The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
    Overview
    2025
    Also available in:
    Young 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.

    Agrifood solutions to climate change
    FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
    2023
    Also available in:
    Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance.
