Synopsis (short abstract) This fact sheet describes the course that is part of a series which introduce the FAO Damage and Loss (D&L) methodology, developed to support countries to generate precise and holistic data for the agricultural sector, in response to climate- and weather-related disasters. This course introduces the formulae which are used to compute damage and loss in the agricultural sectors (crops, livestock, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries). It then considers the data requirements and possible sources, and how the data can be used both to report on Sendai and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets, and at national level.

This paper presents the FAO Damage and Loss Assessment methodology as a framework for identifying, analyzing and evaluating the impact of disasters on agriculture, including crops, livestock, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry. Its potential is explored as a strategic tool for assembling and interpreting new or existing information to inform risk-related policy decision-making and planning. Furthermore, the FAO methodology is presented in the larger context of the current global resilience agendas, such as the SFDRR, while its linkages and complementarities with similar approaches are explored. In addition, the flexibility of the methodology in terms of estimation and data needs, as well as its ease of use and wide range of applicability are emphasised.

Lebanon: Agricultural damage and loss assessment on the impact of conflict
DIEM-Impact report, October 2023–November 2024
2025

Also available in:

This report presents the findings of an assessment of the damages and losses sustained by Lebanon’s agriculture sector due to the conflict between 8 October 2023 and 27 November 2024, which serves as the end date for this analysis. This assessment, conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) System, relied primarily on remote data collection and analytics, and the information available within the assessment timeframe to provide preliminary and partial estimates. The actual value of the total damages and losses to the agriculture sector is expected to exceed the figures presented in this report. Additionally, the report provides estimates of recovery and reconstruction needs, along with a recovery strategy for the sector to inform a comprehensive Emergency and Recovery Plan currently in development by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture.FAO established DIEM-Impact to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments, and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.
