Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow. -

Book (stand-alone)Climate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -

Book (stand-alone)Development of an indicator-based framework for farm sustainability assessment 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Agricultural systems and rural development are key to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Policymakers seeking to eradicate hunger today face a difficult dilemma: preventing billions from going hungry while saving the planet. To solve this dilemma, it is essential to focus investments on improving the economic performance of farms while promoting socioeconomic and environmental sustainability. Although considerable progress has been made in assessing the sustainability of the agriculture sector, the number of quantitative assessments at farm level is still limited. Current methods cover only the classic dimensions of sustainability (economic, social and environmental), ignoring other important dimensions that are gaining importance and political relevance (such as nutrition and governance). This study proposes a novel indicator-based framework for farm sustainability assessment (FARMTOOLS) that includes all dimensions of sustainability (economic, social, environmental, nutrition and health, and governance). The framework can be easily applied and replicated. It is flexible enough to adapt to different agricultural contexts and simple enough for general use. FARMTOOLS can improve agricultural decision-making and ultimately promote change towards more sustainable and productive agriculture. It can be used as a self-assessment tool by farmers to monitor and improve their sustainability; and it can be used by policymakers, investors and donors to support responsible and sustainable investments and to design actions to improve sustainability. -
Book (stand-alone)经合组织‑粮农组织2024‑2033年农业展望 2024《经合组织‑粮农组织2024‑2033年农业展望》包含了对未来十年农产品、渔业和水产养殖市场的共识评估。今年的报告揭示了一些重要趋势。新兴经济体将在全球农业格局中发挥决定性作用，特别是印度，预计将首次超过中国。然而，预计低收入国家的卡路里摄入量仅会增加4%。尽管预计农业温室气体排放强度将有所下降，但农业直接排放可能会增加5%。然而，假设到2030年食品损失和浪费减少一半，这些排放量有可能全球减少4%，而营养不良人口可能达到1.53亿人。国际农业市场的有效运作仍将是全球粮食安全和农村人口生计的关键。考虑到预期的发展，预计在未来十年，国际实际基准价格将会略微下降，前提是没有环境、社会、地缘政治或经济因素引起的重大变化。
