Using detailed household-farm level data from Malawi, we measure real farm total factor productivity (TFP) controlling for a wide array of factor inputs, land quality, and transitory shocks. We nd that factor inputs are roughly evenly spread among farmers: operated land size and capital are essentially unrelated to farm TFP implying a strong negative eect on aggregate agricultural productivity. A reallocation of factors to their ecient use among existing farmers would increase agricultural productivity by a factor of 3.6-fold.

Esta guía describe dos de los principales enfoques para la planificación de la mitigación de gases de efecto invernadero en los países en desarrollo: las Estrategias de Desarrollo con Bajas Emisiones (LEDS, siglas en inglés) y las Medidas de Mitigación Apropiada para Cada País (NAMA, siglas en inglés). Explica las posibles relaciones entre las mismas y su estatus en la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC).

World agriculture: towards 2015/2030 is FAO’s latest assessment of the long-term outlook for the world’s food supplies, nutrition and agriculture. It presents the projections and the main messages. The projections cover supply and demand for the major agricultural commodities and sectors, including fisheries and forestry. This analysis forms the basis for a more detailed examination of other factors, such as nutrition and undernourishment, and the implications for international trade.

شهد استخدام المياه على المستوى العالمي زيادة بمعدل فاق معدل الزيادة السكانية بمقدار الضعف خلال القرن الفائت، ووصل عدد أكبر من الأقاليم إلى الحد الذي لا يمكن بعده توفير خدمات مياه يعتمد عليها. وتضطلع منظمة الأغذية والزراعة، بالتعاون مع وزارة الزراعة ووزارة المياه والطاقة، بتنفيذ عدد من المشاريع في لبنان للتأقلم مع شح المياه وتحسين الأمن الغذائي واستئصال شأفة الفقر. وتأتي هذه المشاريع ضمن برنامج «التأقلم مع شح المياه ودور الزراعة » لمنظمة الأغذية والزراعة الذي جرى تحديده كواحد من البرامج المرجعية والرئيسية للتعاون بين الحكومة الإيطالية ومنظمة الأغذية والزراعة.

”Enhancing country capacity for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change reporting processes for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sector: Uruguay” summarizes the support provided by FAO between 2014 and 2015 to the government of Uruguay, through the Monitoring and Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Mitigation in Agriculture (MAGHG) project.

A broad range of actions that can aid in the efforts to end hunger are described in this issue of Food, Nutrition and Agriculture. Improving the methods and tools to work drectly with food-insecure households is critical. For decades, growth monitoring has been practised by community health workers in many developing countries. Authors show how techniques for assessing children's growth status can be made more effective.
