Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileAccroître la productivité de l’eau pour une production agricole durable axée sur la nutrition et une amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire 2022
Also available in:
La FAO et le FIDA mettent en œuvre le projet «Accroître la productivité de l’eau pour une production agricole durable axée sur la nutrition et une amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire», dans six pays pilotes : Mozambique, Rwanda, Niger, Bénin, Égypte et Jordanie. L'objectif global du projet est d'améliorer la qualité et la diversité de l'alimentation à travers la production agricole en renforçant la capacité des petits exploitants agricoles à adopter des méthodes de gestion durable de l'eau, des sols ainsi que de bonnes pratiques agronomiques. Le dépliant du projet présente le cadre dans lequel l'objectif susmentionné peut être atteint à partir de l’optique nutritionnelle. -
ProjectFactsheetRenforcer les capacités des petits exploitants agricoles en matière d’adoption de pratiques durables relatives à la gestion de l’eau, des sols et des cultures - GCP/GLO/925/IFA 2025
Also available in:
L’eau est l’un des éléments clés de la production agricole, car elle influence la quantité et la qualité de la production, notamment la teneur en éléments nutritifs et la valeur économique de la récolte. Compte tenu de la pénurie d’eau grandissante, en particulier dans les régions arides et semi-arides, le stress hydrique devient une contrainte pour la production, susceptible de compromettre la sécurité alimentaire au niveau mondial, et ce processus ne fait que s’accélérer. Selon les projections établies par les institutions des Nations Unies et d’autres organismes, la pénurie d’eau sera le principal obstacle à la hausse de la production alimentaire au cours des prochaines décennies, en particulier dans le contexte mondial actuel, marqué par le changement climatique, la croissance démographique et les conséquences du développement socioéconomique, notamment l’évolution des habitudes de consommation, qui continueront à exercer une pression sur les ressources hydriques. Afin d’atténuer les problèmes liés à l’eau, les pays en développement devront veiller à une utilisation plus efficiente de toutes les sources et à une répartition plus judicieuse de l’eau, de manière à tirer le meilleur parti économique et social de ressources en eau limitées, tout en augmentant la productivité de l’eau dans tous les secteurs. Dans ce contexte, le projet visait de manière générale à améliorer la qualité et la diversité des régimes alimentaires en renforçant les capacités des petits exploitants agricoles, le but étant de permettre à ces derniers d’adopter des pratiques durables en matière de gestion de l’eau, des sols et des cultures dans cinq pays pilotes: le Bénin, l’Égypte, le Mozambique, le Niger et le Rwanda. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileStatus of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

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.
