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. -

BookletFAO land and water annual overview, 2023 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO land & water annual overview 2023 presents the key achievements of FAO's work on the sustainable and integrated management of land, soil and water resources over the course of 2023.Our planet’s natural resources – land, soil and water – are the backbone of the global food system, yet they face unprecedented pressures. Over 95 percent of the world's food is produced on land, yet one-third of such land is degraded. Ten percent of the global population live in countries with high or critical level of water stress, hindering all efforts towards water and food security. It is our shared responsibility to safeguard these resources and to manage them wisely to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has sustainable access to safe, nutritious and affordable food, preventing the global health crisis from becoming a food crisis. -
BookletLes systèmes alimentaires – Rapport sur le compte à rebours 2023
L'état des systèmes alimentaires dans le monde
2025Also available in:
Les systèmes alimentaires constituent le fondement du bien-être humain et planétaire et sont essentiels à la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable. Pourtant, ils contribuent également à la mauvaise santé, aux inégalités, à la dégradation de l’environnement et aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ces défis exigent une transformation urgente des systèmes alimentaires. Une telle transformation demande de comprendre l’état des systèmes alimentaires dans leurs diverses fonctions. L’Initiative du Compte à rebours des systèmes alimentaires vise à permettre cette compréhension en surveillant l’état de transformation des systèmes alimentaires au moyen de données pertinentes, indépendamment de tout processus de surveillance établi. Un tel suivi peut aider à aligner les décideurs sur les priorités clés, à inciter à l’action, à responsabiliser les parties prenantes, à maintenir l’engagement en démontrant les progrès et à permettre des corrections de cap. Ce premier rapport annuel du Compte à rebours décrit l’état actuel des systèmes alimentaires nationaux, fournissant une base de référence qui peut être utilisée pour orienter les priorités en matière d’investissement, de recherche et d’élaboration de politiques et évaluer les progrès futurs. -

Book (stand-alone)Food safety in personalized nutrition
A focus on food supplements and functional foods
2025Also available in:
No results found.Food supplements and functional foods play a key role in personalized nutrition plans, claiming to modulate physiological functions based on individual needs. As the field of personalized nutrition evolves, it is crucial to consider the safety implications of these products, particularly given their increasing use in recent decades. Although generally perceived as safe, food supplements and functional foods may pose food safety challenges. Additionally, it is important to consider that regulatory inconsistencies across jurisdictions, including definitions and requirements, contribute to significant diversity in the regulation of these products worldwide. This publication by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides a comprehensive overview of potential safety concerns associated with food supplements and functional foods. It examines regulatory frameworks across different regions, highlighting variations in classification, labelling, composition, registration and claims. The report also explores consumer perceptions of these products, analysing the motivations behind their use. As scientific understanding of food’s impact on human health advances, regulatory frameworks may need to adapt to address emerging innovations and safety challenges. FAO remains committed to collaborating with its members and stakeholders to enhance knowledge-sharing on food safety, supporting competent authorities in protecting public health.
