Au Burkina Faso, les quatre régions les plus touchées par la crise sécuritaire – le Centre-Nord, l’Est, le Nord et le Sahel – continuent de faire face à une situation humanitaire sans précèdent. La détérioration de l’insécurité dans le pays provoque des déplacements massifs de population, un accès limité à certaines communes et entrave l’accès aux marchés et aux champs, impactant gravement les moyens d'existence et les activités de production agricole.

This policy brief highlights the economic contribution of pastoralism at the national level, not only through the production and sale of animal-based products, but also through household self-consumption. It presents the main needs and challenges faced by the families that carry out this practice in Mongolia and highlights the need for local civil society organizations to collect and manage data relevant to the sector, paving the path for advocating for evidence-based policies.

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration provides a unique opportunity to transform food, fibre and feed production systems to the needs of the 21st century, and to eradicate poverty, hunger and malnutrition. This report presents the case for why we all must throw our weight behind a global restoration effort. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, it explains the crucial role played by ecosystems from forests and farmland to rivers and oceans, and charts the losses that result from our poor stewardship of the planet. The UN Decade runs from 2021 through 2030 and is led by the United Nations Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Like many other economies in transition, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan face the dual challenge of promoting development and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and ruminant systems are central for achieving both goals. This study found that enteric methane and manure management are the predominant sources of emissions from cattle systems; however, the study found that regions with high GHG emissions from the cattle systems also had the highest soil carbon stocks. This is mainly due to the high apportion of carbon into the soil from manure and organic amendments. Thus, in these regions, tailored practices could likely reduce GHG emissions through practices that can increase organic carbon storage. This project was the first step in understanding the role of ruminants through advanced GHG accounting methods and serve as a basis for these countries to take on larger climate investment projects and catalyse climate action through sustainable livestock development.

Cette note de politique générale met en évidence la contribution économique du pastoralisme au niveau national, non seulement par la production et la vente de produits d'origine animale, mais aussi par l'autoconsommation des ménages. Elle présente les principaux besoins et défis auxquels sont confrontées les familles qui pratiquent cette activité au Tchad et souligne la nécessité pour les organisations locales de la société civile de collecter et de gérer les données relatives à ce secteur, ouvrant ainsi la voie au plaidoyer pour des politiques fondées sur des données probantes.
