Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileAsia and the Pacific Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2025
Accelerating actions for agrifood systems transformation for food security and better nutrition
2025Also available in:
No results found.In 2024, twenty-five million people in Asia and the Pacific escaped hunger, reducing undernourishment to 6.4 percent from 7.0 percent in 2023. Yet, the region still accounts for nearly 40 percent of the world’s hungry, with almost 80 percent living in Southern Asia. Despite progress since 2000, child stunting, wasting, and anaemia among women of reproductive age remain above global nutrition targets.Healthy diets remain costly in the region, averaging 4.77 PPP dollars per day in 2024, higher than the global average of 4.46 PPP dollars. Eastern Asia has the highest cost at 5.95 PPP dollars per day. Though costs have risen since 2017, fewer people are now unable to afford a healthy diet, with affordability in the region better than the global average. Transforming agrifood systems is key to improving food availability, access, and affordability. Economic growth, regional cooperation, and climate variability shape food security, but inclusive growth is essential to reduce inequalities. Regional bodies like ASEAN, SAARC, and SPC are vital for driving this transformation.National pathways, highlighted during the 2025 UN Food Systems Summit Global Stocktake, emphasize stakeholder engagement, gender empowerment, innovation, and sustainable financing. However, many countries still must develop actionable, costed plans with clear implementation and monitoring frameworks. Accelerated, coordinated action is critical to meet food security and nutrition goals across Asia and the Pacific. -
No Thumbnail AvailablePolicy briefPolicy briefAdvancing women’s participation in agrifood trade through inclusive policies 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood trade presents significant potential to enhance women’s economic participation and support broader development outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where women play essential roles across production, processing and marketing. Despite the expansion of global agricultural trade over the past two decades, women continue to face systemic barriers that limit their ability to engage in and benefit from commercial opportunities. These constraints stem from disparities in land rights, financial inclusion, access to technology and education, and the weight of unpaid care responsibilities, while discriminatory social norms further restrict mobility and decision-making power within agrifood value chains. Such inequalities reduce the efficiency and resilience of value chains and impose substantial economic costs at the national and global levels. Efforts to promote women’s participation in agrifood trade increasingly focus on strengthening the functioning of territorial markets, improving collective action, and expanding women’s involvement in sustainable value chains. Reforms in trade facilitation, customs procedures and digitalization can help alleviate gender-specific obstacles, particularly for micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises led by women. In parallel, national policies that integrate gender-responsive measures into trade and agricultural strategies, financial inclusion programmes and value chain development initiatives are helping to close persistent gaps. Improved gender-disaggregated data and analytical tools are also essential to guide policy design and assess the distributional impacts of trade measures. -

Also available in:
No results found.Trade is fundamental to agrifood systems, connecting surplus and deficit regions and supporting a more reliable supply of safe, diverse and sufficient food. Openness to trade increases food availability and dietary diversity and supports economic growth, employment and the efficient use of natural resources. In 2020, countries produced an average of about 120 food items, while the number of food items supplied for consumption reached roughly 225, underscoring the role of trade in expanding dietary diversity. Evidence shows that domestic production alone does not meet nutrient requirements in 120 out of 177 countries analysed, and greater trade openness is positively associated with nutrient adequacy. Trade can improve access to micronutrients such as vitamin A, calcium and zinc, although its effects on dietary patterns vary: openness can increase the availability of both nutritious foods and energy-dense products with low nutritional value, contributing in some contexts to rising overweight and obesity. Food prices represent an important channel through which trade affects nutrition. Imports can lower domestic prices, improving consumer access to diverse foods, but may also reduce incomes for resource-poor farmers unable to compete in global markets. Changes in relative prices shape consumption patterns, and consumer responses depend on income levels and preferences. Overall, trade influences nutrition through multiple pathways, reinforcing the importance of coherent policies that enhance availability, diversity and affordability while safeguarding public health and supporting inclusive development. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportLinking FAO agrifood system interventions to subnational spatial typologies for resilience building
Evidence from Afghanistan, Nigeria and South Sudan
2025Also available in:
No results found.With declining resources for humanitarian and development efforts, resilience has emerged as a priority in development programming, as it offers cost-effective means to address both immediate and long-term needs. Evidence shows that resilience frameworks are most effective when interventions are tailored to local contexts and embedded in multi-year strategies that reduce vulnerabilities while responding to urgent needs. This study analyses agrifood system interventions implemented by FAO in 2022 and 2023 in Nigeria, Afghanistan and South Sudan. Using spatial resilience typologies that classify subnational areas by levels of persistent acute food insecurity, macronutrient availability, and connectivity, the analysis examines both the distribution of interventions and their combinations within projects and across geographic areas. -

October 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.The main rainy season in Nigeria takes place from May to October in the north, and from February to November in the south. Flooding has become a recurrent event during these periods. Over the first two weeks of October 2025, flooding was reported in Jigawa, Kebbi, Niger, Sokoto and Taraba states. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO’s) Data in Emergencies (DIEM) Events Visualization in Emergencies (EVE) system enhances the understanding of flood events and their impacts on various land cover types with a focus on agricultural areas. EVE provides biweekly updates across 40+ countries, including Nigeria. In this DIEM-Impact brief, FAO provides the results of the rapid crop loss analysis and details the potential implications for agricultural livelihoods. FAO established DIEM-Impact to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments, and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.
