El África Central se distingue por su gran diversidad agroecológica y sus abundantes recursos naturales, cuya explotación sensata podría transformar la agricultura de la región. Se trata de una región de contrastes, que abarca zonas ecológicas saharianas al norte del Chad, zonas sahelianas en el extremo septentrional del Camerún y en una parte del Chad, zonas forestales que cubren más de la mitad de la región, zonas montañosas y una vasta franja costera que se extiende desde el litoral camerunés hasta las costas de Angola. Con una superficie total de unos 6 667 047 km² y una población estimada en cerca de 173 millones de habitantes en 2019, la región del África Central cuenta con 346,2 millones de hectáreas de bosques, 135,5 millones de hectáreas de pastos y 26,9 millones de hectáreas de tierras cultivables. No obstante, de los 14,2 millones de hectáreas irrigables, tan solo 601 000 hectáreas (esto es, el 4,2 % de la superficie cultivada) tienen regadío. La región goza asimismo de una importante reserva de recursos naturales en forma de aguas subterráneas renovables, cuyo volumen alcanza cerca de 1 715 km³, es decir, el 44 % de los recursos internos del continente africano. A pesar del gran potencial de diversificación, la economía de los Estados miembros de la CEEAC sigue dependiendo principalmente de la explotación de sus recursos naturales, en particular, de los hidrocarburos y las minas. La producción agrícola interna en África Central satisface apenas una escasa proporción de las necesidades alimentarias regionales. La pobreza afecta a cerca del 50 % de los habitantes de la región y, en algunos países, las tasas superan el 70 %. Asimismo, persiste el problema de la malnutrición. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
