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)Informe de la séptima reunión del Grupo de trabajo consultivo y técnico de composición abierta oficioso sobre el Registro mundial
Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá, 19 de marzo de 2024
2025La séptima reunión del Grupo de trabajo consultivo y técnico de composición abierta oficioso sobre el Registro mundial (GRWG) se celebró el 19 de marzo de 2024 en Ciudad de Panamá. A la reunión asistieron expertos de los Estados Miembros de la FAO, organizaciones intergubernamentales y organizaciones no gubernamentales internacionales. Entre los temas que se debatieron cabe destacar: la situación actual del Registro mundial, las consideraciones clave para el avance del Registro mundial y la asistencia a los países en desarrollo. El GRWG pidió a los Estados que continúen cargando, manteniendo y actualizando buques, dado su papel fundamental para el Sistema mundial de intercambio de información del Acuerdo sobre medidas del Estado rector del puerto, que requiere información fiable sobre la identidad de los buques. El GRWG consideró, como mínimo, la introducción de tres amplias categorías de buques del Registro mundial (buques de pesca, buques de transporte refrigerado y buques de suministro) para aquellos casos en los que el tipo de buque no se comunique utilizando la clasificación de la Clasificación estadística internacional uniforme de los barcos de pesca por tipo de barco. El GRWG pidió que se realizaran estudios sobre la viabilidad y las implicaciones de obtener y compartir información sobre la propiedad efectiva, reconociendo que esta información es crucial para combatir la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada. El GRWG aprobó la reintroducción de un hipervínculo profundo al Sistema Global Integrado de Información sobre el Transporte Marítimo de la Organización Marítima Internacional para acceder a la información adicional pertinente contenida en dicho sistema. -

Book (series)Antimicrobial use practices in the livestock sector in Armenia
Survey report
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Understanding Antimicrobial Use in Food and Agriculture series is a compilation of country reports, each describing antimicrobial use (AMU) practices and awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the livestock sector. The data presented in these reports was obtained through knowledge-attitudes-practices (KAP) field surveys conducted with farmers of priority livestock production systems, field veterinarians, veterinary pharmacies, and feed mills. This issue of the series summarizes the results of interviews performed in Armenia between March and October 2021.In Armenia, surveys targeted 500 farms of priority livestock production systems (chickens, pigs, bees, and backyard), 100 veterinarians, 51 veterinary pharmacies and 10 feed mills. Participants were interviewed face-to-face between 27 March and 29 October 2021. Farm surveys were conducted along with the collection of faecal and milk samples for AMR testing. After completion of the survey, participants were provided with an information leaflet on the use of antibiotics in livestock, and misconceptions were explained to them.This report is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive overview of AMU in the livestock sector in Armenia, including the sources of antibiotics, the main use patterns (e.g. common routes of administration; the aim of use, such as treatment, prevention or growth promotion; and the use in different age groups), the main indications of antimicrobial treatment, drugs used in different animal species, the handling of antibiotics, and awareness of AMR. The analysis found important gaps in the knowledge and practices of participants, such as the scarcity of thorough record-keeping, the inappropriate disposal of expired antibiotics, the lack of some biosecurity measures, and the supply of antibiotics without prescriptions. Targeting these gaps in the future could lead to a reduced need for antimicrobials and would support the prudent use of them, thus reducing the risk of AMR development. -
BookletThe role of aquatic food value chains in food security and nutrition
Exploring the contribution of aquatic food value chains to global food systems transformation
2025Also available in:
No results found.This paper considers the important role of the aquatic food value chain in food security and nutrition. In the context of food security, the fisheries and aquaculture sectors are sources of aquatic foods for human consumption and key means to sustain livelihoods and generate income to purchase foods. While in terms of nutrition, aquatic foods provide macro- and micronutrients for a healthy diet, depending on the species and parts consumed, including omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, zinc, iodine, selenium, and vitamins A, B12 and D. Small-scale fisheries have been evidenced for being particularly important contributors to food security, and small pelagic species, which are often consumed whole, are particularly nutritious. This paper highlights the contribution of small-scale fisheries and small pelagic species to food security and nutrition, as well as the role of women in this. It also focuses on how aquatic foods can more broadly play a central part in food security and nutrition strategies. -
BookletEnvironmental and Social Standard (ESS) 5: Community health, safety and security
Framework for Environmental and Social Management guidance note
2025Also available in:
No results found.Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 5 focuses on ensuring that FAO-supported projects and programmes minimize or avoid negative impacts on community health, safety, and security. This guidance note provides detailed advice on how to meet the requirements of ESS 5 during the design and implementation phases, emphasizing the identification and mitigation of risks specific to vulnerable communities. While not intended to be a comprehensive guide, it directs users to relevant external resources and offers practical tools to address common health and safety concerns in agricultural projects.The standard covers a broad range of issues that may arise from project activities, including infrastructure development, hazardous materials management, changes in transportation patterns, and the presence of security personnel. ESS 5 also addresses the impacts of these activities on ecosystem services, food security, and nutrition. The guidance note highlights the importance of screening and risk assessment to identify potential adverse effects, and it provides strategies for developing management plans and implementing mitigation measures to safeguard community well-being throughout the project lifecycle.
