DocumentEvaluation reportFinal Evaluation of the Project on Decentralized Supply and Water Use Management in the Sana’a Basin to Sustain Water Resources and Rural Livelihoods - Annexes
Project code: GCP/YEM/036/NET
2018Also available in:
No results found.The “Decentralised Supply and Water Use Management in the Sana’a Basin” project was designed to promote sustainable water resources management. The evaluation found the project to be highly relevant to the country’s needs and effective in contributing towards improved livelihoods resilience. The evaluation highlighted project’s contributions towards enabling environment for the provision of public services to farmers, and establishment of water user associations that were integral to the decentralisation of groundwater usage regulation. The project helped farmers to identify more sustainable alternatives to their cropping systems and groundwater usage. For results sustainability, local context and climate-related data should be better analyzed prior to demonstration of new methods and approaches for adaptation activities. In addition, groundwater abstraction projects should be designed with longer duration and with more effective and regular monitoring of progress to inform timely adjustments. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -

Global, regional and country trends
2024Also available in:
No results found.Land statistics describe the human use of the land surface for different purposes and economic activities (land use), as well as the biophysical characteristics associated with both human and natural systems (land cover). FAO collects annual land use data from countries via its land use, irrigation and agricultural practices questionnaire, covering the full land use matrix in line with international definitions first developed by the World Census of Agriculture. This information is complemented with land cover data, compiled independently of the questionnaire data from global remote sensing maps.This analytical brief reports the main results and changes over time in land statistics and indicators with details at global, regional and country level during the past two decades (2001–2022), with a focus on agriculture. In 2022, world total agricultural land was 4 781 million ha, more than one-third of the global land area. Within agricultural land, cropland covered 1 573 million ha while permanent meadows and pastures were 3 208 million ha. -
