No results found.Durant la première décade de février 2014, les estimations de FEWS-NET indiquaient que la plage optimale pluviométrique correspondant aux besoins du Criquet migrateur malgache avait été atteinte dans toute la Grande-Île (figure 1). La pluviosité enregistrée variait de 0 à 77,5 mm dans l’Aire de multiplication initiale, de 0 à 35,4 mm dans l’Aire transitoire de multiplication et de 0 à 34,1 mm dans l’Aire de densation (Annexe 1). Le taux de verdissement était de 100 % dans l’Aire d’invasion et l’ Aire grégarigène, à l’exception de l’Aire de densation où il variait de 85 à 100 %. La hauteur moyenne de la végétation variait de 10 à 50 cm. Les réserves hydriques des sols restaient maximales dans la Grande-Île. Les vents dominants tendaient à souffler de l’Est vers l’Ouest dans l’Aire grégarigène et du Nord-Ouest vers le Sud-Est dans l’Aire d’invasion. -

No results found.Durant la 1ère décade de février 2015, une zone de convergence tropicale, accompagnée de rafales de vent plus ou moins tourbillonnant, de 70 km/h en moyenne, a traversé le canal de Mozambique. Cette zone de convergence intertropicale s’est transformée en une tempête tropicale dénommée Fundi, avec des vents moyens de 75 km/h, avant de toucher Morombe. Fundi a ensuite longé toute la côte sud-ouest de l’Île en se dirigeant vers le sud à la fin de la décade. Fundi a engendré des pluies importantes s i bien que les traitements ont été interrompus du 03 au 06 février 2015 (quatre jours) pour la Base 1, à Miandrivazo, et du 05 au 08 février 2015 (4 jours) pour la Base 2, à Toliara. -

No results found.Selon Fews-net, la 3ème décade de février 2016 semble avoir été marquée par une pluviosité faible à moyenne (inférieure à 40 mm) dans toute la Grande-Île, sauf dans l’extrême Nord où elle était forte (supérieure à 40 mm). Les relevés du Centre national antiacridien (CNA) indiquaient que la pluviosité était supérieure aux besoins du Criquet migrateur malgache dans l’Aire grégarigène transitoire Centre et Est ainsi que dans quelques régions de l’Aire de multiplication initiale et de l’Aire transit oire de multiplication du compartiment Centre. Elle était favorable pour son développement dans l’Aire de multiplication initiale Nord, l’Aire transitoire de multiplication Sud et l’Aire de densation Centre. L’Aire de densation Sud restait plus ou moins sèche. Les températures minimales et maximales moyennes restaient toujours favorables au développement et à la reproduction du Locusta migratoria capito dans toute la Grande-Île.

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 (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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
