Book (stand-alone)General interest book70 Anni della FAO (1945-2015) 2015Questo libro racconta la storia dei sette decenni della FAO, i suoi protagonisti e i fatti salienti. Dall’archivio storico della FAO sono state selezionate fotografie inedite, in bianco e nero, dei primi anni dell'Organizzazione, con le quali è stato possibile realizzare un’avvincente raccolta di immagini. Il libro illustra inoltre i maggiori successi della FAO, tra cui l'eliminazione della peste bovina; il Trattato sulle risorse fitogenetiche, un accordo di vitale importanza per la tutela della biodiversità del pianeta; il Codice di condotta per la pesca responsabile, essenziale per la conservazione dell'ecosistema marino. Le più grandi sfide che la FAO dovrà affrontare nei prossimi anni vengono discusse e sintetizzate in due temi principali: l’eliminazione della fame e della malnutrizione e le azioni intraprese per contrastare il cambiamento climatico. Questa pubblicazione conduce inoltre il lettore in un viaggio attraverso gli uffici regionali della FAO per presentare le iniziative regionali. Con questa pubblicazione, la FAO coglie infine l’occasione per aprire le sue porte, narrare la storia dell’edificio e mostrare le sue sale più rappresentative dove, ogni anno, ospita molteplici conferenze e incontri. Si tratta di un libro adatto a tutti i lettori, redatto in un linguaggio semplice e realizzato con una grafica accattivante.

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.
