DocumentOther documentSave and Grow―小規模農家による農作物の持続的な集約生産のための政策立案者ガイド― 2011
Also available in:
No results found.2011 年に発行した出版物「Save and Grow」において、FAO は高い生 産性と環境的持続性を両立させた集約的作物生産の新しいパラダイムを 提唱しました。FAO は、過去半世紀において、投入材の集約的な利用 に基づく農業が、世界の食料生産と1 人当たり平均消費量を押し上げてきたことを認 識しています。しかしながら、こうした農業は、多くの農業生態系の天然資源を消耗さ せ、将来の生産性を脅かし、気候変動の原因となる温室効果ガスの排出を増加させて きました。さらに、慢性的な栄養不足人口を大幅に削減するまでには至らず、今も8 億7,000 万人にのぼっています。 食料の生産・消費を、真に持続的な基盤の上に位置づけることが課題となっています。 世界人口は、2050 年までに現在の70 億人から92 億人に増加すると予想されており、 この傾向が続けば世界の食料生産を60％増加させる必要があります。良好なポテン シャルを持った未利用地が減少していることを考慮すると、この需要を満たすにはこれ まで以上に高い収量が求められます。同時にこの増収は、土地と水に対する高まる競 合、上昇する燃料・肥 料価格、気候変動の影響に直面する中で実現されなければなり ません。 -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling Climate Change through Livestock
A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
2013As renewed international efforts are needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock sector can contribute its part. An important emitter of greenhouse gas, it also has the potential to significantly reduce its emissions. This report provides a unique global assessment of the magnitude, the sources and pathways of emissions from different livestock production systems and supply chains. Relying on life cycle assessment, statistical analysis and scenario building, it also prov ides estimates of the sector’s mitigation potential and identifies concrete options to reduce emissions. The report is a useful resource for stakeholders from livestock producers to policy-makers, researchers and civil society representatives, which also intends to inform the public debate on the role of livestock supply chains in climate change and possible solutions. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportCFS 2019/46/Inf.17 - Agroecological and other innovative approaches for sustainable agriculture and food systems that enhance food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition
jul/19
2019Also available in:
Food systems and agriculture are at a crossroads and a profound transformation is needed at all scales, not only to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) to “end hunger and all forms of malnutrition” by 2030 but also to address Agenda 2030 in its entirety, including human and environmental health, climate change, equity and social stability. Current trends, such as the new increase, since 2014, in the number of undernourished people and the alarming rate of all forms of malnutrition in all countries, and related tensions will be exacerbated if we fail to design and implement, in a very near future, food systems that ensure food security and nutrition while addressing all sustainability challenges. Agroecological and other innovative approaches in agriculture are increasingly praised for their potential contribution to reach these crucial goals. This report adopts a dynamic perspective, centred on the key concepts of transition and transformation. Ultimately, this rich and comprehensive report aims to fuel an exciting policy convergence process and help remove the lock-ins by developing a common understanding of these matters, so that concrete transition pathways can be implemented at all relevant scales, from farm, community and landscape to national, regional and global levels.
