This book collects the findings of a group of scientists and economists who have taken stock of climate change impacts on food and agriculture at global and regional levels over the past two decades. The evidence presented describes how global warming will impact where and how food is produced, and discusses the significant consequences for food security, health and nutrition, water scarcity and climate adaptation. The book also highlights the implications for global food trade. The evidence presented in the book is presented in a way that is widely accessible to policy decision makers and practitioners and makes a distinct [...]

Cette vidéo présente comment L’organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) comprend l’agriculture intelligente face au climat. Le climat de la planète est en train de changer – ce fait est indéniable. Le changement climatique est un défi de taille pour la sécurité alimentaire mondiale.  

Les mesures visant à réduire et à éliminer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) dans le secteur AFAT fournissent plusieurs occasions de renforcer les synergies entre des activités liées à l’intensification durable, à l’amélioration de l’efficacité des exploitations agricoles, à l’adaptation au changement climatique, à la sécurité alimentaire et au développement rural (Module 1). Les MAAN sont un instrument en pleine expansion, destiné aux pays qui veulent entreprendre des mesures volontaires pour réduire les émissions de GES dans le cadre du développement durable national (Module 2). Des évaluations rapides ou approfondies peuvent être utilisées pour mettre en avant [...]

This study assesses the impact of medium to large scale natural hazards and disasters on the agriculture sector and subsectors in developing countries between 2003 and 2013, focusing on direct physical damage and indirect economic losses. The findings of the study are expected to support national and international efforts to reduce damage and losses caused by disasters and strengthen the resilience of the agriculture sector, in line with resilience targets set under the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement.

This course provides the necessary knowledge to design, develop and implement agricultural projects and programmes that address the challenges of a changing climate. It is useful for professionals working in agricultural development who need to learn how to mainstream effectively climate change considerations in their projects and programmes.

Fish plays a key role for food security. It is a primary source of protein and essential nutrients. Fisheries, aquaculture and related activities provide income and livelihoods for numerous communities across the world, including small-scale fisheries. The growing demand for fish questions the sustainability of marine fisheries and aquaculture, now a fundamental supplier of fish. The report considers the environmental, social and economic challenges faced by all actors towards a sustainable supply of fish, sustainable livelihoods of fish-dependent communities and an equitable access to fish for the good nutrition of all populations worldwide. It presents policy-oriented analysis and recommendations addressed to governments, private sector and civil society [...]

La agricultura familiar es un sector clave para lograr la erradicación del hambre y el cambio hacia sistemas agrícolas sostenibles en América Latina y el Caribe y el mundo.
