This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.

This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If smallholder farming households in Papua New Guinea achieve higher crop productivity levels, progress will be made along several dimensions of the development vision for PNG – increasing GDP for the agricultural sector and the overall economy; driving growth, diversification, and transformation of local rural economies; improving food consumption; and reducing poverty. In this paper, we examine recent data on yields for the most important crops grown in PNG, assess what yields might be achieved based on productivity data from areas of Indonesia with similar growing conditions, and sketch where policy reforms could provide incentives and access to technologies to achieve higher crop yields by all farmers across PNG.

Book Synopsis Mainstreaming efficient legume seed systems in Eastern Africa by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Mainstreaming efficient legume seed systems in Eastern Africa written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legumes are important components of sustainable farming systems. They are useful to diversify and intensify cropping systems; fix atmospheric nitrogen and improve soil health; act as rotation crops; increase and diversify smallholder incomes; and lower the carbon footprint, mitigating climate change. Legumes can therefore play a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, as this publication points out, their production is challenged by various policy, regulatory, institutional and technical factors, including a lack of attention from the public sector and limited opportunity to attract private sector investment.

This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions. The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Intensification and Diversification Options with Grain Legumes for Smallholder Farming Systems in the Guinea Savanna of Ghana by :
Download or read book Sustainable Intensification and Diversification Options with Grain Legumes for Smallholder Farming Systems in the Guinea Savanna of Ghana written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food security is a critical issue in the Guinea savanna of Ghana where about 60% of the rural population, mostly smallholder farmers are food insecure. Food insecurity results from poor crop yields due to low soil fertility compounded by erratic unimodal rainfall and the inability of households to purchase required supplemental food. Rapid population growth means that the numbers of food insecure people are likely to increase, necessitating sustainable intensification and diversification to increase crop production per unit area of land. This thesis focused on testing spatial and temporal intensification and diversification options suitable for the variable biophysical and socio-economic conditions of smallholder farming systems in the Guinea savanna to increase productivity, mitigate the risk of crop failure, and thus to increase food self-sufficiency. One site in the southern Guinea savanna and one in the northern Guinea savanna were selected which differed in biophysical and socio-economic resources. In each site, field experiments were conducted on three fields differing in soil fertility (fertile, medium fertile, poorly fertile) to quantify: N2-fixation and N contribution to soil fertility by grain legumes in sole and intercropping; impact of replacement intercropping on increasing resource use efficiency and crop productivity; and productivity of relay (additive) intercropping and rotation of grain legumes with maize. Scenario analysis was performed with data from the N2Africa Ghana project supplemented with data from the on-farm experiments and literature to test the impacts of intensification and diversification options on household food self-sufficiency. Sole legumes fixed larger amounts of N2 than under intercropping. The soil N balance was generally positive and similar between intercrops and sole crops suggesting that both systems could be sustainable intensification and diversification options. Poor fields stimulated grain legumes to rely on atmospheric N2 for growth leading to more positive soil N balances than in fertile fields. Consequently, legumes in poor fields were more competitive with maize and led to greater intercrop yield advantage than in fertile fields. Across all fields and sites, intercropping enhanced the efficiency in resource use resulting in a 26% to 46% yield advantage over sole cropping. Intercrops were more efficient and productive in the drier northern Guinea savanna than in the wetter southern Guinea savanna. Yet the absolute larger grain yields achieved in fertile fields and in the southern Guinea savanna with more favourable soil fertility and rainfall resulted in greater net benefits. This suggests that intercropping is beneficial both in poorly fertile and fertile fields though the benefits take different dimensions. Legume-cereal rotation was superior in increasing the yield of maize without N fertiliser ranging from 0.38 t ha-1 in NGS to 1.01 t ha-1 in SGS due to residual N and non-N benefits compared with continuous maize cropping. Sowing cowpea first and relaying maize decreased maize grain yield substantially from 0.29 t ha-1 (14%) in SGS to 0.82 t ha-1 (83%) in NGS, representing 14% and 83% grain yield reductions relative to maize sown at the beginning of the season. These grain yield reductions were due to inadequate rainfall received by the relay maize. When maize was sown from the onset of the season and the cowpea relayed, the cowpea grain yield reduction was relatively smaller compared with that of maize. Such cowpea grain yield decline was similar between the SGS and NGS and ranged from 28% (0.18 t ha-1) to 47% (0.26 t ha-1) relative to the cowpea sown from the onset of the season. The cumulative grain yield of this relay system over two seasons was similar to that of the legume-cereal rotations even with cowpea failing to yield in the first season. The scenario analysis revealed a high incidence of food insufficiency among smallholder farm households in the Guinea savanna of Ghana. This ranged from 56% in the Northern region with relatively favourable rainfall, soil fertility and larger land area cropped per farm to 45% in the Upper East and Upper West regions with comparatively less rainfall, poor soils and smaller land area cropped. In addition, 21% of households in the Northern region and 37% in the Upper East and Upper West regions could only survive on their own food production for six months or less. However, the scenario analysis suggested that through intensification and diversification with grain legumes, the proportion of food self-sufficient households in the Guinea savanna could increase by 25 – 43% and those self-sufficient for a maximum of half a year decreased to 3 – 15%. Households could also generate substantial marketable surpluses to earn income. However, the total size of land cropped by a farm household matters, and improved access to markets and credit are needed to acquire the relevant inputs. Also, multi-year analysis using modelling would be relevant in providing insights on long-term nutrient balances, especially of N and soil organic matter to understand the long-term sustainability of the various options.
