No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO ANGOLA - 19 June 2001 2001
Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Angola from 5-27 May 2001 to estimate crop production from the 2000/01 season, as well as the cereal import requirements and food aid needs in the 2001/02 marketing year (April/March). Following briefings by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) and Ministry of Social Assistance and Reintegration (MINARS), the Mission made field visits to 8 out of the 18 provinces, accompanied by officials from MINADER and observers from the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), the European Union (EU) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Detailed planning of the Mission, preparatory documents and other background information were provided by the FAO-supported Food Security Unit in MINADER, the Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping (VAM) Unit of the WFP Office in Angola, and WFP sub-offices in the provinces. Plans had been made to visit 10 provinces, but the security situation was very fluid and they had to be changed at the last minute. Finally, a de-briefing meeting was held at MINADER to present the findings of the Mission. -

Also available in:
The devastation wrought by over 20 years of civil strife remains the most significant characteristic of the Angolan situation. Despite the initiation of a peace process in late 1994, recovery of the shattered infrastructure, the marketing network, the rural support structures and the production systems has scarcely begun. Food production is essentially based on hand cultivation/subsistence farming methods with concomitant constraints on expansion in area and increase in yield. The resulting grai n harvests fall far short of the country’s requirements and the deficit is generally met through commercial imports and international relief assistance. -

Also available in:
In March 1999, an escalation of violence in the Kosovo Province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Kosovo), led to a large-scale exodus of refugees into neighbouring countries, among which Albania was particularly favoured because of the generous open-door policy maintained by the Government of Albania and by the Albanian people themselves throughout the crisis. By early June, UNHCR reported that the total number of refugees in the country stood at around 440 000 of whom, approximately half were accommodated in tent camps and half were living with host families. In view of concerns about the impact of the Kosovo crisis on the food security situation of the country, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food supply assessment Mission was fielded to Albania from 3-13 June. The Mission gave special attention to the impact of the large influx of refugees on the hosting population, including, food consumption patterns, health and nutrition status and access to food supplies. The Mission's findi ngs are based on discussions with Government Ministries and Departments and local authorities, UN (UNHCR, UNICEF, UNDP, WHO and WFP) and bilateral agencies and NGOs based in the country and on field visits to selected areas, including household interviews. In the limited time available, field visits were made to 10 of the 12 prefectures, including all the major agricultural production areas, as well as Shkoder and Kukes in the north of the country which are those prefectures most affected by the refugee influx.

贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。 -
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.
