Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRwanda: Belgium’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Rwanda is greatly susceptible to impacts of climate change through its high dependence on rainfed agriculture. Despite the country’s overall growth and development over the last three decades, climate change has resulted in seasonal droughts that are expected to become more prolonged, causing additional challenges, especially in the east and southeast of Rwanda. Adding to the climate-related difficulties facing rural households, food prices in Rwanda have been exceptionally high. Urgent action was needed to improve food security for households expected to face the impacts of combined shocks – drought plus high food and input prices – and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is acting fast. The Government of Belgium’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities – Anticipatory Action (SFERA-AA) window supports the resilience capacity of smallholder farmers to help them cope with the predicted impacts of drought, protect their assets and maintain their food security. This in turn will promote the adoption of climate-smart agriculture for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life for all. -

Book (stand-alone)Training materialPart 6: Farmer Field School digital support
Climate-smart Farmer Field School curriculum
2025Also available in:
No results found.This document, Part 6: Farmer Field School digital support of this curriculum, delves into the integration of digital tools within the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (CS-FFS) model. Recognizing the vital role of digital support in modern agriculture, particularly in the face of climate change, this module equips both facilitators and farmers with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize these technologies. Participants will explore a range of digital tools, from sensors and precision agriculture technologies to mobile applications and online platforms, understanding their potential to enhance CS-FFS activities and promote climate-smart agriculture in Jordan. The module emphasizes the practical application of these tools for tasks like problem diagnosis, information access, communication, and monitoring, while also addressing potential challenges and barriers to adoption. By fostering digital literacy and encouraging the use of technology, this module empowers farmers to make informed decisions, improve their farming practices, and build resilience in a changing climate. Ultimately, it contributes to the overarching goal of the curriculum: to promote sustainable agriculture and enhance food security in Jordan.

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 bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
