Focus

Water use in agriculture

Agriculture is a major user of water. OECD indicators and analysis help governments formulate agriculture policies to use water resources more efficiently and reduce water pollution from agricultural systems.

Risk management in agriculture

Farmers face multiple, often simultaneous, sources of agricultural risk - weather, market prices, disease and more. A holistic policy approach by governments can focus on the interaction between risks and empower farmers to manage normal business risk.

Climate change and fisheries

Climate change effects on fish stocks will have social and economic effects on fisheries and coastal communities. OECD advises fisheries policy makers on climate change adaptation strategies that take these social and economic consequences into account.

Agricultural progress and poverty reduction

Agricultural income growth is the main factor behind poverty reduction in developing countries. An OECD study analyses the role of agricultural progress in poverty reduction, to find out why some countries are doing better than others.

Green growth for food, agriculture and fisheries

Global demand for food is estimated to double by 2050, increasing pressure on land and water. A greener and more efficient food chain can contribute to sustainable growth and food security, with less pressure on marine and land resources.
