Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025Also available in:
No results found.While 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 (series)Planning aquaculture in Landlocked Developing Countries
Insights from the Plurinational State of Bolivia
2025Also available in:
No results found.Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) face persistent food security and nutrition challenges, with aquatic food consumption well below global levels. Despite abundant resources, aquaculture performance in LLDCs remains limited, though growth has accelerated in recent decades. This paper analyzes the rapid rise of aquaculture in the Plurinational State of Bolivia—one of the world’s fastest-growing producers, driven mainly by tambaqui/pacu farming. It examines production, trade, consumption, and socioeconomic and environmental dimensions, identifying key constraints such as value chain fragmentation, limited efficiency, and the need for species diversification. Bolivia’s experience highlights the value of strong institutional support, farmer engagement, targeted markets, and clear policies in building scale and consumer confidence. At the same time, it underscores the importance of aligning production with market capacity and embedding sustainability to avoid boom-bust cycles. The findings offer practical lessons for LLDCs: expand domestic fish demand, improve efficiency, strengthen governance and value chains, and adopt data-driven policies. While Bolivia’s conditions are unique, its core principles provide a pathway for using aquaculture to advance food security, nutrition, livelihoods, and sustainable growth in other LLDCs. -
Journal, magazine, bulletinFood policy monitoring in the Near East and North Africa region, 3rd Quarter 2025 | Bulletin
Financing the transformation of agrifood systems for food security and nutrition
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region faces a fragile food security landscape, shaped by inequality, conflict, climate extremes, and price volatility. While the FAO Food Price Index remained stable in August 2025, fertilizer costs and soaring regional food inflation continued to strain households. Prices rose an average of 33.8 percent year-on-year, with Palestine and Libya experiencing inflation close to 200 percent. Agricultural output for 2024/25 varied: Tunisia reported above-average cereal harvests, while Morocco, Algeria, and Lebanon saw sharp declines due to drought, heat, or conflict. Egypt’s irrigated systems provided stability, but long-term risks from rising temperatures persist. For 2025/26, North Africa’s wheat production is expected to grow 4.2 percent, while the Near East faces a 10.4 percent decline.Food insecurity hotspots remain severe, with famine confirmed in Gaza, affecting nearly two million people, while Yemen and Sudan face worsening crises. Governments are responding with measures such as expanding grain reserves, investing in renewable energy and climate-smart irrigation, and pursuing concessional financing. Yet limited fiscal space and subsidy distortions hinder progress. The bulletin’s focus highlights financing agrifood system transformation, stressing repurposed support, innovative financial instruments, and regional platforms like the Transformational Impact Partnership to mobilize resources and build resilience. -
Book (stand-alone)Elaboración y ejecución de un Plan de acción nacional para la pesca en pequeña escala (PAN-PPE)
Manual de apoyo a la aplicación de las Directrices voluntarias para lograr la sostenibilidad de la pesca en pequeña escala en el contexto de la seguridad alimentaria y la erradicación de la pobreza
2025Also available in:
El objetivo de este manual es servir de orientación para la elaboración y ejecución de un Plan de acción nacional para la pesca en pequeña escala. Estos procesos son únicos en su tipo, ya que garantizan que se escuchen las opiniones e inquietudes de las partes interesadas de pesca en pequeña escala y les permiten participar activamente en los procesos de adopción de decisiones que configuran sus vidas y medios de subsistencia. De este modo, la aplicación de un Plan de acción nacional para la pesca en pequeña escala es una forma eficaz de alinear los marcos jurídicos con las disposiciones de las Directrices voluntarias para lograr la sostenibilidad de la pesca en pequeña escala en el contexto de la seguridad alimentaria y la erradicación de la pobreza. Estas Directrices fusionan el desarrollo social con la pesca responsable, por lo que combaten la marginación y la vulnerabilidad presentes en el sector y promueven un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos. -

Book (stand-alone)Market structure and efficiency in agricultural value chains: Deep dives in El Salvador and the Dominican Republic 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Hunger and malnutrition remain critical developmental challenges in Central America. Since 2020, rates of moderate and severe food insecurity have risen across the region, while key indicators in early childhood nutrition persist at high levels across both lower- and upper-middle-income states. Rising food prices play a key role in limiting access to healthy and affordable diets for the populations of these countries. In 2022 and 2023, food price inflation reached or exceeded 10 percent in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Across almost all of these countries, white maize prices remain more than 40 percent higher than their levels in 2021, while prices for red and black beans rose by 40 percent to 90 percent over the same period. These price increases have disproportionately affected poorer and rural households. This report represents a context-specific approach to analyzing market structures and dynamics that may contribute to price distortions in two country-commodity pairs in Central America: white maize in El Salvador, and bananas in the Dominican Republic.
