Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDiagnostic du système national de recherche et de vulgarisation agricoles dans l'espace CEMAC et stratégie de renforcement des capacités pour la dissemination des connaissances et des technologies agricoles 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Dans la zone CEMAC comme dans les autres sous-rgions de lAfrique au sud du Sahara, le problme de la scurit alimentaire se pose aussi bien en terme de disponibilit quantitative des produits quen terme de qualit des aliments consomms et de flux interne entre les diffrentes rgions et entre les diffrentes couches de la socit. De manire gnrale, les productions agricoles nationales ne couvrent pas les consommations nationales, encore moins les besoins rels de consommation. Mais le dficit reste dans une proportion relativement faible pour les produits de grande consommation comme le manioc et le plantain dans les zones soudaniennes forestires; le mas, le sorgho et le mil dans les zones soudaniennes sahliennes. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDiagnostic du système national de recherche et de vulgarisation agricoles du Tchad et stratégie de renforcement des capacités pour la dissemination des connaissances et des technologies agricoles 2008
Also available in:
No results found.En ce qui concerne l’utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) en tant qu’outil de dissémination des connaissances et technologies agricoles, le Système national de recherche et de vulgarisation agricole (SNRVA) du Tchad se caractérise par un retard significatif ; la principale contrainte dérive de l’accès difficile à l’énergie électrique qui conditionne l’utilisation de ces technologies. A cela s’ajoute le faible équipement des institutions de recherch e et de vulgarisation agricole en matériel de l’information et de communication. -

No results found.Malgré certaines faiblesses, néanmoins surmontables au prix des quelques efforts à consentir par les pouvoirs publics, le secteur privé et la communauté internationale, d’importants atouts existent dans les institutions de recherche et de vulgarisation agricole (personnel motivé, publications pertinentes, acquis réels, minimum de commodité, programmes adaptés aux réalités nationales) et peuvent être valorisés. Des recherches ont été faites dans presque tous les domaines du secteur agri cole. De nombreux résultats sont disponibles sous formes de notes, de rapports de travaux, mais restent inconnus du grand public, des opérateurs économiques et autres utilisateurs. Par ailleurs, l’absence de liaison entre les chercheurs et les autres acteurs du développement agricole est une des causes de la mauvaise circulation de l’information, et partant, du faible impact de la recherche sur le développement. Le projet actuel (TCP 2913 CEMAC), qui fait l’objet de la présente étude est donc une approche de solution à ce constat.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -

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.
