The State of Food and Agriculture, 2012 Investing in agriculture for a better future
|
|
| The State of Food and Agriculture 2012:
Investing in agriculture for a better future shows
that farmers are the largest investors in developing
country agriculture and argues, therefore, that
farmers and their investment decisions must
be central to any strategy aimed at improving
agricultural investment. The report also presents
evidence showing how public resources can
be used more effectively to catalyse (...) |

| Women make significant contributions to the rural
economy in all developing country regions. Their roles

differ across regions, yet they consistently have less access
than men to the resources and opportunities they need to
be more productive. Increasing women’s access to land,
livestock, education, financial services, extension, technology
and rural employment would boost their productivity

The state of food and agriculture, 2008 Biofuels: prospects, risks and opportunities
|
|
| The State of Food and Agriculture 2008 explores the
implications of the rapid recent growth in production of biofuels based on agricultural commodities. The boom in liquid biofuels has been largely induced by policies in developed countries, based on their expected positive contributions to climate-change mitigation, energy security and agricultural development. The growing demand for agricultural commodities for the (...) |

The state of food and agriculture, 2007 Paying Farmers for Environmental Services
|
|
| The State of Food and Agriculture 2007 explores the potential for agriculture to provide enhanced levels of environmental services alongside the production of food and fibre. The report concludes that demand for environmental services from agriculture – including climate change mitigation, improved watershed management and biodiversity preservation – will increase in the future, but better incentives to farmers are needed if (...) |

The State of Food and Agriculture, 2006 Food aid for food security?
|
|
| The State of Food and Agriculture 2006 examines the
issues and controversies surrounding international food aid
and seeks to find ways to preserve its essential humanitarian
role while minimizing the possibility of harmful secondary
impacts. Food aid has rightly been credited with saving
millions of lives; indeed, it is often the only thing standing
between vulnerable people and death. Yet food aid is
sharply criticized as a (...) |

The State of Food and Agriculture, 2005 Agricultural trade and poverty can trade work for the poor?
|
|
| Can trade work for the poor? The State of Food and Agriculture 2005 examines the many ways trade and trade liberalization affect the poor and food-insecure. It is found that trade can be a catalyst for change, promoting conditions that enable the poor to raise their incomes and live longer, healthier and more productive lives. But because the poor often survive on a narrow margin, they are particularly vulnerable in any (...) |

Agriculture continues to face serious challenges, including feeding an additional two billion people by the year 2030 from an increasingly fragile natural resource base. The effective transfer of existing
technologies to poor rural communities and the development of (...) |

The state of food and agriculture, 2001 Economic impacts of transboundary plant pests and animal diseases

|
| Five years after the World Food Summit, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, The State of Food and Agriculture reflects on some of the main challenges faced in eliminating world hunger and poverty. The task may be daunting, but so are the numbers of hungry and undernourished people whose fate is dependent on decisive and accelerated action. I am convinced that, with a renewed commitment and determined, concerted (...) |

The State of Food and Agriculture, 2000 Lessons from the past 50 years

|
| The State of Food and Agriculture 2000 reports only very modest growth in world agricultural production in 1998, and the estimates for 1999 do not appear to indicate any improvement. Particularly for the developing countries, where the performance of the agricultural sector is of special concern, prospects for 1999 are for a noticeable slowdown in crop and livestock production - reflecting a negative trend that is now in its (...) |

The State of Food and Agriculture, 1998 Rural non-farm income in developing countries
|
|
| This year’s report confirms that, in a long-term perspective, the poorest nations’ populations have become increasingly poor and food-insecure, pointing out that this unacceptable trend has continued in recent years. The country policy reviews suggest that the promotion of rapid, equitable and broad-based growth remains a difficult challenge. However, growth and equity, far from being horns of a dilemma, are equally essential (...) |

The State of Food and Agriculture, 1996 Food security: some macroeconomic dimensions
|
|
| Causes for concern must be underlined in the light of some of the recent trends and developments highlighted in this publication. These include the declining trend in international development assistance, flows of aid to agriculture and food aid availability. Whatever the political, market or financial forces behind such trends, they have deleterious immediate consequences for many poor countries.
Another cause for concern (...) |

| In many areas of the world, growing water scarcity and the misuse of freshwater pose serious threats to sustainable development. With more than two-thirds of the water withdrawn from the earth's rivers, lakes and aquifers being used for irrigation, agriculture is increasingly seen as the system's safety valve. This year's special chapter, Water polices and agriculture, examines the policy implications of increasing (...) |
