Book (series)FAO journalGestion durable de la faune sauvage - Unasylva 249 2017La gestion de la faune sauvage est au centre d’un débat international intense, du fait de son importance pour la conservation de la biodiversité, la sécurité humaine, les moyens d’existence et la sécurité alimentaire. Les populations locales ont géré la faune sauvage pendant des millénaires, en particulier au travers de la chasse. Cette édition présente suffisamment d’exemples pour montrer qu’une gestion durable de la faune est également possible à l’époque moderne. Dans certains cas, des prélèv ements viables d’animaux – par les populations locales, les chasseurs de trophées et les commerçants d’espèces sauvages autorisés – se révèlent essentiels pour favoriser l’appropriation locale de la démarche de gestion durable de la faune et pour payer les coûts du maintien des habitats. Le débat sur les meilleures manières de gérer les espèces sauvages est sans nul doute appelé à se poursuivre; ce numéro d’Unasylva entend être une contribution à ce processus.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetCorporate general interestProgramme de gestion durable de la faune sauvage - SWM Programme 2019
Also available in:
Le Programme de Gestion durable de la faune sauvage (SWM) vise à réduire la chasse de la faune sauvage à des niveaux durables, à protéger les espèces sauvages en danger, à protéger la biodiversité, à maintenir le rôle écologique essentiel joué par la faune dans les écosystèmes forestiers et de la savane et finalement, à protéger les stocks et les services écosystémiques qui sont essentiels aux moyens d'existence des communautés locales. Le SWM Programme a été publiquement lancé à l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) en octobre 2017. Financé par l’Union européenne grâce au 11ème Fond Européen de Développement (45 millions d’EUR), le programme est une initiative de sept ans du Groupe des États d'Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (ACP). Le programme mobilise un important groupe d’organisations partenaires ayant une expertise solide dans les domaines de la conservation de la faune sauvage, la sécurité alimentaire et le développement de politiques. Le programme est mis en œuvre par la FAO, le Centre français de recherche pour le développement international (CIRAD), le Centre de recherche forestière internationale (CIFOR) et la Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Le Programme SWM est présent dans douze pays de l’ACP (Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, République démocratique du Congo, République du Congo, Sénégal, Soudan, Tchad, Zambie et Zimbabwe). -

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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also 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.
