Book (stand-alone)General interest bookFood systems for an urbanizing world 2018
Also available in:
Food Systems for an Urbanizing World is a joint report prepared by the World Bank and FAO. It aims to stimulate discussion and suggest pathways to support local and national governments, and civil society and private sector actors in their efforts to improve the performance and capacity of food systems. The report describes the diversity and ever-changing nature of food systems, with interlinked traditional, modern and informal channels that respond to different market segments and different consumer preferences. It also underscores the importance of targeting support to the type of city and food system. The task is not an easy one. Data are weak and empirical analysis is weaker. As cities’ engagement in urban food issues is relatively new, the institutions, governance mechanisms and capacities needed for effective design, implementation and delivery of this agenda must be strengthened. Finding effective ways to prioritize, mobilize and coordinate contributions from multiple sectors will be essential for achieving food system goals. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWorld Food Survey
Washington, 5 July 1946
1946Also available in:
No results found.Early in 1946, several of these agencies loaned the services of some of their staff members to the Food and Agriculture Organization for the purpose of making a world food survey in which the best available figures and estimates would be brought together, critically examined, and reduced to a uniform basis. The objective was to obtain as clear a picture as possible of the world food situation as it was in the years just before the war. F AO needed these figures as a guide in working out proposals for future world food and agricultural policies. This report gives the results of the survey. It covers 70 countries whose people makeup about 90 percent of the earth's population. It need scarcely be said that the figures for many countries are highly imperfect. Statistical services in most countries will have to be vastly improved before complete and accurate data are obtainable; it is one of FA O's functions to help bring about this improvement, which will take many years. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe fifth World Food Survey 1987
Also available in:
No results found.This fifth world food survey provides data and analyses that will assist national governments and international organizations in their joint attack on the basic causes of malnutrition, so that genuine food security may be guaranteed to all men and women everywhere. It offers no grounds for complacency with regard to the current world food and nutrition situation, but it does hold out some hope for the future if individual governments and the international community act to fulfill the expectations that were opened by the first World Food Survey when FAQ was founded 40 years ago.
