Smallholder farmers have a vital role to play in global food security and nutrition, and in supporting a range of development and climate change goals. Strengthening the resilience and commercial viability of these farmers, particularly women and youth, can increase their capacity to contribute to these global goals.

Global food demand is increasing rapidly, as are the environmental impacts of agricultural expansion. Here, we project global demand for crop production in 2050 and evaluate the environmental impacts of alternative ways that this demand might be met. We find that per capita demand for crops, when measured as caloric or protein content of all crops combined, has been a similarly increasing function of per capita real income since 1960. This relationship forecasts a 100–110% increase in global crop demand from 2005 to 2050.

Global biomass demand is expected to roughly double between 2005 and 2050. Current studies suggest that agricultural intensification through optimally managed crops on today's cropland alone is insufficient to satisfy future demand. In practice though, improving crop growth management through better technology and knowledge almost inevitably goes along with (1) improving farm management with increased cropping intensity and more annual harvests where feasible and (2) an economically more efficient spatial allocation of crops which maximizes farmers' profit.

Library ResourceJournal Articles & BooksJanuary, 2015Ethiopia
Peri-urban areas in Ethiopia like that of other African countries are places where much of urban growth is taking place and as a result the competition for land between agriculture and nonagriculture (urban built-up property) is intense. It is there that new properties and property rights emerge and at the same time the existing traditional or customary rights may also disappear or dissolve. This study has attempted to assess and demonstrate the process of built-up property formation process in the transitional peri-urban areas of Ethiopia.

Le système actuel de « gouvernance alimentaire mondiale » n'offre pas de sécurité adéquate contre les crises alimentaires futures et n'offre pas de garantie de succès dans l'éradication de la faim chronique. En dépit d'un énorme accroissement de la production alimentaire, le nombre des personnes souffrant de la faim ne cesse d'augmenter. Pour inverser cette tendance, l'autorité et les pouvoirs du Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale devraient être considérablement renforcés.

Le PDDAA est un plan ambitieux de la Communauté des États africains, qui vise à revitaliser la politique agricole du continent et à faire de l'agriculture un instrument essentiel de croissance économique et de réduction de la pauvreté et de la faim. Les résultats obtenus par le PDDAA en termes d'amélioration de la visibilité de l'agriculture africaine au niveau international sont incontestables.

La malnutrition est un problème grave et très répandu en Afrique. Le Programme détaillé pour le développement de l'agriculture africaine (PDDAA) du NEPAD (Nouveau partenariat pour le développement de l'Afrique) réclame de toute urgence des mesures pour lutter contre les problèmes alimentaires et nutritionnels au niveau régional et au niveau national.
