Technical bookThe Impact of Disasters on Agriculture and Food Security 2025
Digital solutions for reducing risks and impacts
2025Also available in:
No results found.This biennial flagship report provides comprehensive evidence on the escalating impact of disasters on global agricultural systems, revealing losses of USD 3.26 trillion over the period 1991–2023. The 2025 edition introduces enhanced methodologies for assessing disaster impacts across crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture subsectors, offering Member States robust data for evidence-based policymaking.Aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, this edition provides actionable recommendations for integrating disaster risk reduction into agricultural policies and investments through digital innovations. From AI-powered early warning systems to mobile-based insurance reaching millions of smallholder farmers, the report demonstrates how technology is revolutionizing agricultural risk management.Yet technology alone isn't the answer. The report emphasizes putting farmers at the centre – designing solutions with them, not for them – while addressing the digital divide that leaves 2.6 billion people offline. Through compelling case studies and actionable frameworks, it provides a roadmap for building resilient agricultural systems capable of feeding the world in an era of mounting climate risks.This publication serves as an essential resource for governments, development partners, and stakeholders working to build resilient agrifood systems in the face of climate change and increasing disaster risks. -
FlagshipIn brief to the Impact of Disasters on Agriculture and Food Security 2023
Avoiding and reducing losses through investment in resilience
2023This report summarizes the findings of the flagship report The Impact of Disasters on Agriculture and Food Security 2023. Disasters are resulting in unprecedented levels of destruction across the world. These shocks and disruptions affect the functioning and sustainability of agricultural production and threaten the livelihoods of millions of people reliant on agrifood systems.Reducing the impact of disasters in agriculture requires a better understanding of the extent to which these events produce negative impacts in agriculture and necessitates an investigation into the underlying risks that make agriculture vulnerable to the effects of disasters.The FAO flagship report on ‘The Impact of Disasters on Agriculture and Food Security’ provides a timely and comprehensive overview of how disasters are affecting agriculture and food security around the world. Building on previous work of the FAO on this topic, the report estimates losses caused by disasters on agricultural production over the past three decades and delves into the diverse threats and impacts affecting the crops, livestock, forestry, and fisheries and aquaculture subsectors. It analyzes the complex interplay of underlying risks, such as climate change, pandemics, epidemics and armed conflicts, and how they drive disaster risk in agriculture and agrifood systems at large.The report provides examples of actions and strategies for investing in resilience and proactively addressing risks in agriculture. It demonstrates ways to mainstream disaster risk into agricultural practices and policies and calls for a deeper understanding of the context in which these solutions are implemented. -
