Given the demand of proteins predicted for 2050, a transition of our current agricultural model is required. An agroecological model proposes to meet these needs while producing with ecological foresight, but also considering social and economic issues. Livestock rearing in order to meet protein needs is where agroecological principles and the more industry accepted term of Sustainable Intensification (SI) overlap in certain areas. Multiple definitions of SI have been proposed, however many have a focus on an increase of productivity on already cultivated land while reducing environmental degradation and sparing habitats from agricultural expansion. Demonstrated within this review, animal products can contribute to a global diet within a limitation of 11 – 23 g/protein/day through agroecological practices. Animal protein can be included if livestock are fed only on pasture, waste or by-products; no scenario exists in which livestock could continue to be fed on human-edible crops. Agroecological practices are already ...

For 2022, with the bulk of the winter wheat crop now dormant in northern hemisphere countries, the global wheat area is foreseen to only grow moderately this year, with high input prices seen to deter a larger expansion. In the European Union, aided by conducive weather, wheat crop conditions are generally satisfactory; however, limited snow cover has increased the susceptibility to frost damage in eastern countries. Preliminary indications point to negligible year-on-year changes in acreage. Encouraged by...

Le rapport 2021 sur L’État des ressources mondiales en terres et en eau pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture dans le monde a pour objectif de sensibiliser sur l’état des ressources foncières et hydriques, en mettant en évidence les risques courus et en informant sur les possibilités et les problèmes propres à ces domaines. Il vise également à souligner la contribution essentielle qu’apportent des politiques, des institutions et des investissements appropriés. Les évaluations, les projections et les scénarios récents indiquent que l’épuisement des ressources en terres et en eau et la perte de biodiversité qui y est associée s’accélèrent. Le rapport 2021 sur L’État des ressources mondiales en terres et en eau pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture dans le monde met en lumière les principaux risques et tendances relatifs aux ressources en terres, en sols et en eau et présente ...

Agriculture is the origin of existence and survival in any society. However, this sector is always associated with risk and uncertainty, and farmers are faced with many challenges. Therefore, the main aim of this research was to explore the (production) risk factors of irrigated wheat production systems among farmers in Kermanshah province, Iran. The exploratory nature of this study on the one hand and the need for expert judgment on the other hand necessitated a Delphi research design. Thus, this study utilized a three-round Delphi technique. The population comprised of 10 subject-matter experts (SME) and 32 agricultural extension experts in two climates (warm and semi-arid and cold and moderate) in seven counties in Kermanshah province. A purposeful (complete) sample of 42 experts in the agricultural field participated in this study. Data were collected using a questionnaire designed on the basis of the Delphi technique. The findings indicated that, after three rounds of Delphi technique, the panel members reached a consensus on 75 factors which were categorized into biological, natural, managerial, and technological-structural groups for production risk. The results of this research provide useful insights for researchers, extension agents, and farmers.

- The FAO Food Price Index* (FFPI) averaged 135.7 points in January 2022, 1.5 points (1.1 percent) higher than in December 2021. The FFPI's rebound in January was led by solid gains in vegetable oils and dairy sub-indices, partially offset by a decline in sugar prices for the second consecutive month. Meat and cereal sub-indices remained largely unchanged.
- The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 140.6 points in January, up marginally (0.1 percent) from December and 15.6 points (12.5 percent) above its level one year ago. World wheat prices eased in January, down 3.1 percent, with increased seasonal supplies from large harvests in Australia and Argentina. However, support from continued strong demand amidst tight global availability of higher-quality wheat along with uncertainty over exportable supplies, prevented prices from declining further. By contrast, maize export prices were firmer in January, gaining 3.8 percent since December, mostly on concerns of persistent drought conditions in the southern hemisphere, namely Argentina and Brazil; spillover effects from the wheat market added upward pressure on maize prices. Among other coarse grains, international sorghum prices also rose in January, in line with maize price trends, while barley quotations were slightly lower. The completion of main-crop harvests in major suppliers and purchases by Asian buyers also raised international rice prices in January by 3.1 percent.
