MeetingMeeting documentApproches intégrées de la gestion de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments tout au long de la chaîne alimentaire 2002La plupart des pays qui disposent de systèmes permettant d'enregistrer les maladies d'origine alimentaire ont signalé une augmentation considérable ces dix dernières années de l'incidence des maladies dues à des micro-organismes pathogènes dans les aliments. Dans les pays industrialisés, jusqu'à une personne sur trois peut être touchée par une maladie d'origine alimentaire chaque année et dans la plupart des autres pays, la situation est probablement pire. Outre qu'elles provoquent la mort et de s souffrances, les maladies d'origine alimentaire ont des conséquences économiques très importantes, qui se chiffrent dans certains pays en milliards de dollars. En Europe, l'encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine (ESB, la "maladie de la vache folle") et la contamination des aliments par des dioxines ont rendu les consommateurs méfiants quant à la salubrité des aliments sur le marché, ce qui a eu de graves répercussions économiques. Souvent, les origines des problèmes de salubrité des aliments remon tent à la contamination des produits pour animaux ou à d'autres facteurs qui interviennent à un stade précoce de la chaîne alimentaire; jusqu'à récemment, les responsables de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments ne s'étaient guère intéressés à ce domaine.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.
