Book (series)The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020
Sustainability in action
2020The 2020 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture has a particular focus on sustainability. This reflects a number of specific considerations. First, 2020 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). Second, several Sustainable Development Goal indicators mature in 2020. Third, FAO hosted the International Symposium on Fisheries Sustainability in late 2019, and fourth, 2020 sees the finalization of specific FAO guidelines on sustainable aquaculture growth, and on social sustainability along value chains. While Part 1 retains the format of previous editions, the structure of the rest of the publication has been revised. Part 2 opens with a special section marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Code. It also focuses on issues coming to the fore, in particular, those related to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and its indicators for which FAO is the “custodian” agency. In addition, Part 2 covers various aspects of fisheries and aquaculture sustainability. The topics discussed range widely, from data and information systems to ocean pollution, product legality, user rights and climate change adaptation. Part 3 now forms the final part of the publication, covering projections and emerging issues such as new technologies and aquaculture biosecurity. It concludes by outlining steps towards a new vision for capture fisheries. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -

Book (series)The 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 (series)Note explicative des Directives relatives à l’élaboration d’une législation harmonisée sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments dans la région couverte par le Comité FAO/OMS de Coordination pour l’Afrique (CXG 98-2022) 2025
Also available in:
Cette note explicative propose des conseils pratiques pour la rédaction, l'interprétation et la réforme desinstruments juridiques régissant les aliments, en se référant aux normes et textes apparentés de la Commission du Codex Alimentarius, et en particulier aux «Directives relatives à l’élaboration d’une législation harmonisée sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments dans la région couverte par le Comité FAO/OMS de coordination pour l’Afrique» (CXG 98-2022). Elle expose les considérations qui devraient guider les législateurs et les autorités détentrices du pouvoir réglementaire lors de l'intégration des principes du Codex Alimentarius dans la législation nationale; elle encourage une approche fondée sur la science et les risques, soutient une réglementation intégrée de la chaîne alimentaire et favorise la consultation des parties prenantes. En renforçant les systèmes nationaux de contrôle des aliments et en promouvant la cohérence législative, la note explicative contribue à un approvisionnement alimentaire plus sûr et à de meilleurs résultats en matière de santé publique.Conçue comme une ressource visant à soutenir l'application des «Directives relatives à l’élaboration d’une législation harmonisée sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments dans la région couverte par le Comité FAO/OMS de coordination pour l’Afrique» (CXG 98-2022), la note explicative passe en revue les principaux concepts et définitions juridiques, notamment la sécurité sanitaire des aliments, l'analyse des risques et le rôle des exploitants et des autorités du secteur alimentaire. Elle fournit des considérations pratiques pour l'adoption de principes dans une législation efficace, tels que la transparence, la traçabilité et le principe de précaution, et met en évidence des pistes concrètes pour aligner les cadres juridiques nationaux sur les normes internationales. La note explicative aborde également la distinction entre législation sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments et législation alimentaire, offrant aux États membres une certaine flexibilité pour adapter leurs instruments normatifs tout en préservant la compatibilité avec les règles du commerce international. Outre les orientations législatives, la note explicative favorise un engagement inclusif des parties prenantes – consommateurs, universités et industries – et recommande des instruments réglementaires solides, assortis de mécanismes de révision régulière. Elle encourage les États membres à adopter un cadre juridique alimentaire réflexif, fondé sur des données probantes et évolutif au rythme des progrès scientifiques et des contextes nationaux. En favorisant l'harmonisation, l'équivalence et l'alignement sur les normes internationales, la note explicative soutient la coordination institutionnelle, réduit les barrières commerciales et renforce la sécurité juridique, contribuant ainsi à renforcer les échanges commerciaux. -

BookletFAO’s Global Emergency and Resilience Appeal 2026
Time to maximize the impact of every $ € £ kr ¥ ريال
2025Also available in:
No results found.Acute food insecurity has nearly tripled since 2016, while humanitarian funding is falling back to 2016 levels. Rising needs cannot be met by doing less of the same.FAO’s first Global Emergency and Resilience Appeal seeks USD 2.5 billion to assist over 100 million people in 54 countries in 2026. The Appeal calls for lasting solutions to acute food insecurity by scaling agricultural interventions alongside food assistance – feeding more people, more sustainably, and at lower cost.Agricultural solutions are critical: when production falls, food insecurity rises; when restored, it declines. Over 80 percent of acutely food insecure people live in protracted crises and need more than short-term aid to become self-sufficient. FAO’s Appeal integrates emergency and resilience programming to drive sustainable change at scale. -
BookletFAO Afghanistan contribution to the agricultural sector strategic roadmap, 2026–2028
From food crisis to agricultural transformation
2025Also available in:
No results found.Afghanistan has ranked among the world’s most food-insecure countries for decades. Conflict, climate shocks and chronic underinvestment have left millions trapped in hunger, with rural livelihoods unable to withstand repeated crises. Yet recent years show that progress is possible. Between 2021 and 2025, the number of Afghans facing acute food insecurity fell from a peak of 23 million to 9.5 million. Even amid political transition, economic crisis and natural hazards, unprecedented nationwide support to farmers helped reduce hunger by more than half.Now it is time to build on these gains with a bigger, coordinated push. This roadmap sets measurable targets for each of its three pillars, alongside big picture milestones that cut across them. Together, they chart a path toward collectively reducing acute and chronic food insecurity to below 5 percent by 2028. More than a plan of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), it offers a joined-up framework for donors, international financial institutions, the private sector and many other partners to align around transformative priorities in agriculture – the backbone of Afghanistan’s economy, food security and future. The roadmap bridges immediate food crisis response with longer‑term resilience and systemic transformation. It doubles down on hunger – targeting both acute and chronic food insecurity, tackling vulnerability with tangible, high-impact solutions and leveraging local and private sector engagement for sustained impact. It is built on three reinforcing pillars that address immediate needs and support longer-term solutions. They follow a parallel path: responding to humanitarian shocks, helping chronically food-insecure communities become self-reliant, and transforming agriculture for lasting food security. Each pillar focuses on a different part of the challenge – their immediate, underlying and structural causes. Together, they will make a significant contribution to reduce hunger and build a more resilient future for Afghan families. With a funding requirement of USD 839 million, the activities outlined will directly benefit 18.5 million Afghan women, men and children (2.6 million households). -
BookletCôte d'Ivoire bridging the gap between finance and fish farmers
The investment case for improved financial services to tilapia farmers
2025Also available in:
No results found.This document presents an investment case for modified and improved farming methods for tilapia in Cote d’Ivoire. The case is built on information about the costs, benefits and results of the action which was funded by FISH4ACP in 2024 and 2025. Tilapia is the main fish species farmed in Côte d'Ivoire with an annual production of some 7 700 tonnes, and contributes only a small proportion of total annual domestic production, with national demand meaning that the country is highly reliant on imports of fish. Methods of farming tilapia were previously not efficient, but through action by FISH4ACP to improve the quality and availability of fingerlings, ensure enhanced farming methods, and introduce digital technologies, the financial performance of tilapia farming was enhanced. This is demonstrated through financial models of the operating accounts of fish farmers prior to, and after FISH4ACP support.
