Book Description
The evaluation of the project “Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership” covered the three phases of the LEAP Partnership (2012–2021). The evaluation found that the project responded to an existing demand to advance towards a science-based benchmarking of the environmental performance of the livestock sector. The LEAP partnership was a cost-effective approach that contributed to consensus building and greater understanding of the factors influencing environmental performance by providing a neutral forum for discussion and negotiation. The evaluation provides six recommendations: i) strengthen the project’s theory of change to reflect the complexity of learning and innovation, including gender perspective; ii) strengthen the multi-stakeholder partnership governance, management and procedures; iii) strengthen collaboration with other initiatives such as the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) and the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM); iv) reduce the budget uncertainty through improved long-term planning and a strengthened resource mobilization strategy; v) update and improve the dissemination strategy; and vi) develop an outreach strategy with clear goals.

Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture: Analysis of submissions

Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251311285
Category : Social Science

Pages : 56
Book Description
The Koronivia joint work (KJWA) on agriculture is a decision that was reached at the UN climate conference (COP23) in November 2018, officially acknowledging the significance of the agriculture sectors in adapting to and mitigating climate change. The paragraph 2 of the KJWA decision provides a list of initial elements on which Parties were invited to submit their views. Recognizing that KJWA does not mandate the UNFCCC secretariat to produce a synthesis of submissions made, a number of Parties attending the Dialogue suggested that FAO might provide a factual summary of the submissions. The analysis takes into consideration the 21 KJWA submissions made by Parties and 27 by observers and published by 20th of May 2018 on the UNFCCC submission portal, as well as the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) and Least Developed Countries (LDC) group submissions.

Cluster evaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Pastoralist Knowledge Hub
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251323682
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
Knowledge about pastoralism has a legacy of misunderstanding and debate within rural development, a highly politicized territory at the regional and national level, and an evolving discussion in the context of climate change. The Pastoralist Knowledge Hub (PKH), which is hosted by FAO, brings together pastoralists and the main actors working with them to create the synergies for dialogue and the development of much needed pastoralist policies at the national and global level. This report presents the results of the final evaluation of two projects: “Pastoralist Knowledge Hub Part 1: Support to pastoralists in advocacy and policy matters” (PKH1) and “Pastoralist Knowledge Hub Part 2: Technical support to pastoralists livelihood and resilience” (PKH2). The expected overall impact of the projects was improved policies, legislation and programmes related to pastoralism, contributing to food security, poverty reduction and resilience. This evaluation serves a dual purpose of accountability and learning. It extrapolates findings and conclusions based on the evidence collected, and identifies good practices and challenges to inform future projects.

Progress in Water Footprint Assessment
Author: Arjen Y. Hoekstra
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039210386
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Water Footprint Assessment is a young research field that considers how freshwater use, scarcity, and pollution relate to consumption, production, and trade patterns. This book presents a wide range of studies within this new field. It is argued that collective and coordinated action—at different scale levels and along all stages of commodity supply chains—is necessary to bring about more sustainable, efficient, and equitable water use. The presented studies range from farm to catchment and country level, and show how different actors along the supply chain of final commodities can contribute to more sustainable water use in the chain.

FAO’S WORK ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that 815 million people in the world today are chronically hungry. After declining for over a decade, in 2017 global hunger is on the rise again. According to this year’s estimates, the world must, by 2050, produce 49 percent more food than in 2012 as populations grow and diets change. At the same time, almost 80 percent of the poor live in rural areas where people depend on agriculture, fisheries or forestry as their main source of income and food. If temperatures continue to rise, then progress towards eradicating hunger and ensuring the sustainability of our natural-resource base to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will be at risk. This publication presents FAO’s key messages on climate change and food security. It includes examples of FAO’s support to countries so they are better able to adapt to the impacts of climate change in the agricultural sectors. It also brings together FAO’s most up-to-date knowledge on climate change, including the tools and methodologies used to support countries’ climate commitments and action plans.

Environmental performance of pig supply chains: Guidelines for assessment (Version 1)
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251303770
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
This is a living document produced by the Livestock Environmental and Assessment Performance (LEAP) Partnership. The document presents a methodology and provides guidance for the assessment of the environmental performance of pig supply chains. It provides users guidance on how to apply the life cycle assessment approach to pig supply chains. Demand for livestock products is projected to grow 1.3 percent per year until 2050, driven by global population growth and increasing wealth and urbanization. This projected growth places significant pressure on the livestock sector to perform in a more sustainable way. Currently, many different methods are used to assess the environmental impacts and performance of livestock products. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to compare results and set priorities for continuing improvement. The intention of this document is to provide an overview assessment of existing studies and associated methods that have used life cycle assessment for the evaluation of pig supply chains.

Life Cycle Assessment in the Agri-food Sector
Author: Bruno Notarnicola
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319119400
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The book presents an overview of the International practices and state-of-the-art of LCA studies in the agri-food sector, both in terms of adopted methodologies and application to particular products; the final purpose is to characterise and put order within the methodological issues connected to some important agri-food products (wine, olive oil, cereals and derived products, meat and fruit) and also defining practical guidelines for the implementation of LCAs in this particular sector. The first chapter entails an overview of the application of LCA to the food sector, the role of the different actors of the food supply chain and the methodological issues at a general level. The other chapters, each with a particular reference to the main foods of the five sectors under study, have a common structure which entails the review of LCA case studies of such agri-food products, the methodological issues, the ways with which they have been faced and the suggestion of practical guidelines.
