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. -

Ежемесячный отчет о тенденциях в ценах на продовольствие
2025Also available in:
No results found.В феврале 2025 г. мировые цены на кукурузу и пшеницу выросли из-за сезонного сокращения поставок и опасений по поводу урожая в странах — ключевых экспортерах. В то же время мировые цены на рис продолжили падение на фоне достаточных экспортных объемов и слабого спроса, продолжающего оказывать понижающее давление на цены. Проведенный ФАО анализ последних данных о внутренних рынках продовольствия показал более высокий по сравнению с прошлым годом уровень цен в январе — феврале 2025 г. в большинстве стран. За последний месяц цены на кукурузу и пшеницу сезонно выросли в Южной Америке, где сильный экспортный спрос продолжает оказывать поддержку ценам в большинстве стран-экспортеров. В Южной Африке дефицит предложения и инфляционное давление из-за ослабления валют в некоторых странах способствует сохранению высоких цен на кукурузу. В центральной Америке цены на кукурузу демонстрировали разнонаправленное движение. Начало главной жатвы способствовало снижению цен в некоторых странах, а неблагоприятная погода и вызванные ей потери урожая привели к росту цен в других странах. В большинстве стран дальневосточной Азии цены на рис снижались из-за расширения предложения после завершения основной жатвы 2024 г. Цены на кормовое зерно выросли в большинстве регионов восточной и западной Африки из-за перебоев в торговле, вызванных вооруженными конфликтами, и потерь урожая в 2024 г. -

The review shows that world meat production expanded in 2024, underpinned by increased slaughter and improved profitability. The review also illustrates that international trade in meat products rebounded in 2024, supported by easing inflationary pressures and stronger consumer purchasing power in many parts of the world, along with supply constraints in major importing countries. These factors contributed to firm international demand, driving a steady increase in global meat prices. -
Book (series)Perspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria
Informe mundial trimestral, no. 1, marzo de 2025
2025Also available in:
El informe trianual Perspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria ofrece un análisis prospectivo de la situación alimentaria en el mundo, centrándose en las perspectivas de la producción cerealera, la situación del mercado y las condiciones de la seguridad alimentaria, con especial atención a los países de bajos ingresos y con déficit de alimentos.La FAO considera que, a nivel mundial, 45 países –33 en África, nueve en Asia, dos en América Latina y el Caribe y uno en Europa– necesitan ayuda alimentaria externa. Los conflictos persistentes y la inseguridad civil siguen siendo los principales factores de la inseguridad alimentaria aguda grave, con las poblaciones de la Franja de Gaza (Palestina) y Sudán enfrentándose a niveles de inseguridad alimentaria aguda de Fase 5 de la CIF (“Catástrofe”), según el último análisis de la Clasificación Integrada de la Seguridad Alimentaria en Fases (CIF).El informe también incluye el primer pronóstico de la FAO para la producción mundial de trigo en 2025, que indica un modesto crecimiento interanual, impulsado en gran medida por las recuperaciones de producción esperadas en la Unión Europea. -
Book (series)A guide to the application of a multidimensional solutions approach to food loss and waste reduction in aquatic value chains 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Loss and waste is a feature of the fisheries and aquaculture sector and efforts to understand and characterize the causes of, as well as research and develop ways of reducing fish loss and waste are ongoing. Reducing food loss and waste (FLW) is widely seen as an important way to reduce production costs and increase the efficiency of a food system, improve food security and nutrition and contribute towards environmental sustainability. Evidence suggests that a broader multidisciplinary and multistakeholder approach to reducing FLW will be more effective and yield sustainable results. Such an approach encompasses and combines interventions that link policy, the regulatory framework, social and gender equity, services and infrastructure, market issues, technology, as well as skills and knowledge. Guidance for practitioners wishing to adopt this approach can be found in the Voluntary Code of Conduct for Food Loss and Waste Reduction (CoC FLW).This technical paper describes a multidimensional solutions (MDS) approach to reduce FLW, which, whilst more challenging to apply, is felt will likely lead to more successful interventions. An overview of the MDS concept and a description of a process that can be used to develop long-term multidimensional FLW solutions strategies for the fisheries and aquaculture sector are provided. Case studies are included, as well as observations on given application issues. This MDS approach is evolving but early indications are that it warrants wider dissemination, discussion, and application.
