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)Proceso participativo y transparente para la evaluación y selección de emprendimientos
Opción de buena práctica en Guatemala
2024Also available in:
No results found.Este documento presenta el desarrollo de una opción de buena práctica en Guatemala, liderada por la FAO en colaboración con actores nacionales. La práctica se centró en un proceso participativo y transparente para evaluar, seleccionar y adjudicar recursos destinados a la creación y fortalecimiento de emprendimientos sostenibles en los departamentos de San Marcos y Huehuetenango. Este enfoque permitió beneficiar directamente a 1 436 hogares organizados en 192 grupos emprendedores, lo que fomentó la inclusión de mujeres, jóvenes y Pueblos Indígenas.El proyecto forma parte del "Plan de Desarrollo Integral para Centroamérica" e implicó la implementación de una metodología que incluyó la capacitación en planes de inversión, la conformación de comités de evaluación y la aplicación de criterios objetivos para seleccionar los emprendimientos más viables. La integración de herramientas como el Perfil de Pequeños Proyectos de Negocios facilitó la transparencia y el análisis financiero, fortaleciendo las capacidades de los grupos beneficiarios y actores institucionales. Además, el uso de lenguas indígenas como el Mam garantizó un proceso inclusivo.Los resultados preliminares muestran impactos positivos en la generación de ingresos y empleos, así como en la sostenibilidad de los proyectos aprobados. Esta opción de buena práctica destaca por su enfoque inclusivo y replicable, que prioriza la participación comunitaria y promueve el desarrollo económico en comunidades rurales vulnerables. El documento ofrece valiosas lecciones y recomendaciones para futuras intervenciones en contextos similares. -

Book (stand-alone)Vee korduskasutusega vesiviljeluse juhend
Uute keskkonnahoidlike ja suure tootlikkusega suletud kalakasvatussüsteemide tutvustus
2024Ranged keskkonnakaitsepiirangud, mille eesmärk on vähendada haudemajadest ja maismaal asuvatest vesiviljelusrajatistest tulenevat saastet Põhja-Euroopa maades, on käivitanud vee korduskasutusega vesiviljeluse kiire tehnoloogilise arengu, investeerimise ja innovatsiooni paljudes maailmaosades. Selline vesiviljelus tagab ühtlasi ka suurema ja stabiilsema toodangu, kuna haiguspuhanguid on harvem ja kontroll haudemajade kalade kasvu mõjutavate näitajate üle parem. See suund on teretulnud ja igati kooskõlas ÜRO Toidu- ja Põllumajandusorganisatsiooni (FAO) vastutustundliku kalapüügi juhendiga. Siinne vee korduskasutusega vesiviljeluse juhend täiendab FAO Kesk- ja Ida-Euroopa piirkondliku büroo tehtavat tööd keskkonna seisukohalt jätkusuutliku vesiviljeluse edendamise valdkonnas. Vee korduskasutusega vesiviljeluse süsteem tähendab ühtlasi seda, et haudemajad ei pea enam asuma hinnalistel jõeäärsetel aladel. Nüüd võib neid ehitada peaaegu igale poole, kuna nende vajadus puhta, haigustekitajatest vaba vee järele on varasemast palju väiksem. Seepärast on FAO-l olnud hea meel toetada selle juhendi väljaandmist. Loodetavasti innustab see kalakasvatajaid ja aitab neil tulevikus üle minna vee korduskasutusega vesiviljelusele. -
