Ensemble, La FAO et la france travaillent pour améliorer la gouvernance alimentaire mondiale, promouvoir la gestion durable des ressources naturelles, renforcer les moyens de subsistance des communautés vulnérables, et favoriser le développement rural durable. Les récentes initiatives FAO + France ont contribué à :
La sécurité alimentaire de l’Algérie est en grande partie dépendante de deux facteurs fortement impactés par la pandémie de la covid-19 : les finances publiques et le marché mondial des produits alimentaires. Le poids des importations dans la satisfaction des besoins alimentaires du pays témoigne de cette sensibilité aux perturbations du fonctionnement de ce marché mondial.
Due to political conflict, hundreds of thousands of people had to leave their homes in northern Mali in the last decade. Many have since returned to their home but struggle to regain their livelihoods. In the Timbuktu region, food insecurity is very high and 15 percent of children under 5 years old suffer from acute malnutrition. Goundam, one of the administrative districts of the Timbuktu region, is populated by livestock farmers. Among the previously displaced people, many have lost all their livestock, and with that their traditional means of livelihood.
In this webinar, the discussion focuses on the need to promote appropriate agricultural technologies and innovations that will help agribusinesses in Africa to be resilient in the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have serious health and economic ramifications in Africa. This paper presents a technical position on demand and supply shocks associated with the COVID19 pandemic within the African context. We document the disruptions associated with containment measures implemented by various governments and their implications on labour mobility, import and export of food commodities, production and productivity of major staples and prices of food items.
Digitalisation is an integral part of modern agriculture. Several digital technologies are available for different animal species and form the basis for precision livestock farming. However, there is a lack of clarity as to which digital technologies are currently used in agricultural practice. Thus, this work aims to present for the first time the status quo in Swiss livestock farming as an example of a highly developed, small-scale and diverse structured agriculture.
Pour accompagner les efforts d’adaptation au changement climatique couplé à la rareté des ressources en eau et promouvoir une agriculture durable à forte valeur ajoutée, la TIL est l'un des moyens les plus significatifs pour améliorer la productivité de l'eau en agriculture. Au Maroc, En dépit des efforts et incitations financières pour accélérer l’adoption de la TIL, les superficies actuellement équipées de cette technologie ne représentent qu'une part négligeable du potentiel.
As climate change continues to drive food insecurity, addressing the risks of climate change across the value chain – especially agricultural products that are important to food and nutrition security – will yield significant adaptation benefits to vulnerable small producers and rural communities at large. This will support global efforts to end hunger and poverty, build more effective farming practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate the ambition of Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement.
Even though the need to minimize adverse social and environmental effects from supply chain activities is globally recognized, gender equality is still inconsistently prioritized, gender compliance challenging and consensus on its meaning, still elusive. But women play an important and valuable, though often invisible, role in agriculture.
À Montréal, les organisateurs et organisatrices communautaires (OC) interviennent dans différents champs de pratique, dont celui de la sécurité alimentaire. Ces professionnels définissent l’organisation communautaire comme une intervention de soutien professionnel et d’influence dans une communauté permettant d’agir sur les facteurs collectifs qui ont une incidence sur la santé et le bien-être. Elle s’adresse prioritairement aux populations précarisées dans une perspective de justice sociale. Cette étude porte sur les pratiques d’organisation communautaire en sécurité alimentaire.
