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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

DocumentWorking paperRural Poverty and Natural Resources: Improving Access and Sustainable Management
David R. Lee and Bernardete Neves, with contributions from Keith Wiebe, Leslie Lipper and Monika Zurek
2009Also available in:
No results found.This paper was prepared as a Background Paper for Chapter 2 of the International Fund for Agricultural Development’s 2009 Rural Poverty Report. It begins by providing an overview discussion of the diversity of natural resources in developing countries, and rights of access, tenure and governance relevant to the rural poor, who are disproportionately dependent on natural resources. We then discuss four key challenges to enhancing assess and sustainable management of natural resources: (i) expandi ng access to natural resources to increase incomes and improve welfare; (ii) increasing security of access to natural resources, in the context of changing institutional and market conditions; (iii) improving sustainable management of natural resources, including improved resource quality; and (iv) enabling the poor to take advantage of evolving markets, including markets for environmental services. In each case, applications to agricultural land, water, forests and fisheries are elaborated. Fin ally, we examine five case studies that demonstrate successful approaches to sustainable natural resource management: expanding access to land (South Africa), increasing security of access and sustainable management of forests (Bolivia), supporting locally-driven sustainable management of watersheds (India), improving security of access and sustainable management of fisheries (Samoa), and enabling the poor to access the global carbon market (Mexico). We conclude with key lessons learned and thei r implications for management and policy.
