Código de programa: GCP/SLM/001/MEX
2022Also available in:
No results found.El Programa Mesoamérica Sin Hambre (MSH) es una iniciativa de cooperación regional, con un presupuesto total de 15 millones de dólares y un ciclo de duración de ocho años (2015-2022), financiada por la Agencia Mexicana de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AMEXCID) y ejecutada por la FAO en nueve países de Mesoamérica: Belice, Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panamá y República Dominicana. El Programa ha logrado alcanzar los dos resultados planificados, con distintos niveles de avances en los países participantes. En particular todos los países disponen de un marco habilitante inicial para mejorar el apoyo del Estado a los productores de la agricultura familiar y a la seguridad alimentaria nutricional y se han fortalecido capacidades de instituciones sectoriales y de gobiernos locales para la gestión de servicios de apoyo a la seguridad alimentaria y la agricultura familiar. La evaluación identifica numerosas experiencias con potenciales de aprendizaje, entre las cuales destacan la complementariedad con otras intervenciones de FAO y de otros cooperantes, el modelaje regional de instrumentos de política sectorial, experiencias de CSS-Triangular entre los países participantes. La evaluación recomienda la continuidad del apoyo financiero para la implementación de una siguiente fase del programa MSH para el período 2023-2028 dando particular atención al diseño de instrumentos para incrementar la sostenibilidad de las capacidades institucionales y la elaboración de modelo conceptual de intervención que considere todos los factores causales del problema y su interacción.

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 studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
