No results found.Agriculture and livelihood interventions were urgently required to restart food production. Following the conflict in Tigray, the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture estimated that damage incurred in the agriculture sector alone was ETB 120 billion (about USD 2 billion). The protracted conflict affected about 1.1 million households dependent on agriculture for livelihoods, income and food security. This scenario had far-reaching food security consequences, with an Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis released in June 2021 indicating that approximately 5.5 million people in Tigray and neighbouring conflict-affected areas of Afar and Amhara regions were facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse levels of acute food insecurity and required emergency assistance to meet their basic needs. In response, the project carried out the targeted distribution of agricultural inputs (fertilizer and seeds), as well as the provision of trainings on fertilizer application and handling, good agronomic practices, and post-harvest handling. The project successfully reached 283 747 conflict-affected households (approximately 1 418 735 people), of whom 121 481 were headed by women (42 percent). The total households reached represent 82 percent of the planned target of 344 000 households.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
