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 (series)El estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2024
Financiación para acabar con el hambre, la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición en todas sus formas
2024A falta de seis años para que venza el plazo de 2030, las tendencias del hambre y la inseguridad alimentaria todavía no avanzan en la dirección adecuada para acabar con el hambre y la inseguridad alimentaria (meta 2.1 de los ODS) para 2030. Los indicadores de los progresos hacia el cumplimiento de las metas mundiales en materia de nutrición muestran asimismo que el mundo no va camino de eliminar todas las formas de malnutrición (meta 2.2 de los ODS). Miles de millones de personas siguen careciendo de acceso a alimentos nutritivos, inocuos y suficientes. Sin embargo, los progresos registrados en muchos países infunden esperanza en que es posible volver al camino hacia la erradicación del hambre y la malnutrición.Con objeto de poner en práctica las políticas, inversiones y leyes necesarias para invertir las actuales tendencias del hambre, la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición será preciso financiar debidamente la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. Aunque es amplio el acuerdo suscitado por la urgencia que reviste financiar la cuestión de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, no cabe decir lo mismo en cuanto a la comprensión común de la manera de definir esta financiación y darle seguimiento. En el informe figura la esperada definición de financiación para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, así como orientación para su aplicación.En el informe figuran recomendaciones respecto del uso eficiente de instrumentos innovadores de financiación y de reformas de la arquitectura de la financiación para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. El establecimiento de puntos en común en relación con la definición de la financiación para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, así como de los correspondientes métodos de seguimiento, medición y aplicación, es un primer paso importante hacia el aumento sostenible de los flujos de financiación necesarios para acabar con el hambre, la inseguridad alimentaria y todas las formas de malnutrición y garantizar el acceso a dietas saludables para todos hoy y mañana. -

2007Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge. -

A perspective for the future
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report underscores the critical importance of family farming in ensuring sustainable agriculture, food security, and rural development in Türkiye. Family farming contributes significantly to biodiversity conservation, cultural heritage preservation, and the production of nutritious food. However, challenges such as climate change, declining natural resources, and insufficient market access threaten its sustainability.Drawing on global initiatives like the International Year of Family Farming (2014) and the UN Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028), this report highlights Türkiye's efforts, including the Türkiye Family Farming Plan and Action Plan (2014–2018). It emphasizes the need for a participatory and interdisciplinary approach to address key issues, such as supporting small-scale enterprises, integrating technological innovations, and fostering youth involvement.The report advocates for robust policy frameworks that promote sustainable practices, financial inclusion, and social protection for family farmers. It outlines strategic priorities, including rural development, risk management, and climate resilience, to guide the preparation of a comprehensive National Action Plan for Türkiye. By placing family farming at the core of its agricultural policies, Türkiye can contribute to transforming global food systems and achieving the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. -

Book (stand-alone)Curriculum for training of Multi-actors Agricultural Innovation Platform facilitators 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Mult-actors Agricultural Innovation Platform (MAIP) is established in rural communities where farmers and key value chain actors become empowered through participatory action research, knowledge co-creation and application, market linkages and so on. MAIPs, as a model for inclusive and collaborative innovation, are increasingly deployed in farmer communities to solve the last-mile bottleneck, namely, the empowerment of smallholder farmers and value chain actors to access innovation and services to drive field-level change. MAIP has been preliminarily tested and piloted in several FAO field projects and demonstrated great potential for scale-up. Field results showed that MAIPs facilitated small-scale producers, family farmers and other agrifood system actors to generate and access context-specific agricultural innovations and services. Facilitation has proved crucial for stimulating and underpinning interactions among MAIP actors. This is the key to supporting co-innovation and co-learning processes and enabling individuals or organizations to reflect on their experience and encourage critical thinking. Qualified MAIP facilitators, as value chain intermediaries and coordinators, usually come from specialized MAIP actors (e.g. researchers, extension agents, agricultural educationists, private-sector brokers, non-governmental organization (NGO) activists, traders and processors). They are normally trained through the specially designed training of MAIP facilitator course or through the implementation of a MAIP. This curriculum draws on the experience of the training course “Training of master trainers for establishing and operating Multi-actors Agricultural Innovation Platforms” co-organized by FAO and CAU on 11–15 July 2023. It serves as a useful tool for empowering MAIP facilitators to play a critical role in establishing and operating MAIPs.
