    Développement de la filière karité: Principal moteur pro-pauvre de fixation du carbone en Afrique de l’Ouest 2020
    Also available in:
    Dans le cadre de son programme de développement durable, la Global Shea Alliance (GSA), en partenariat avec l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (Bureau régional de la FAO pour l'Afrique), a mené cette évaluation multi-impact de la chaîne de valeur du karité dans 8 pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, pays qui représentent 99% des exportations de karité. L'étude utilise l'outil EX-ACT Value Chain (EX-ACT VC), développé en 2016 par la FAO, pour évaluer l’impact socio-économique de la chaîne de valeur ainsi que sa contribution à l'atténuation du changement climatique, à la résilience climatique. À l'heure actuelle, la chaîne de valeur du karité fixe 1,5 million de tonnes de CO2 chaque année. Par rapport aux volumes de production, chaque tonne de karité produite a une empreinte carbone négative de 1,04 tonne de CO2. Dans le contexte des investissements de la Grand muraille Verte, soutenus par les bailleurs de fonds et partenaires privés pour augmenter la population d'arbres à karité dans les zones agroforestières de 7 millions d'arbres supplémentaires par an, le CO2 fixé pourrait atteindre 9 millions de tonnes de CO2e par an, conduisant à un impact de fixation du carbone agrégé de 180 millions de tonnes de CO2e sur 20 ans. Grâce à l'expansion des parcs à karité et à l'amélioration de la productivité des collecteurs, le revenu brut par femme collectrice, pourrait atteindre 127 USD / an, tandis que la valeur ajoutée par jour de travail atteindrait 2,30 USD.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
    Report 2020
    2020
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
