Book (series)FlagshipThe 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 (stand-alone)Technical studyRevisión de la implementación 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 en América Latina y el Caribe 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Este documento es el resultado de un proceso de recopilación y análisis sobre la implementación 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 (Directrices PPE), desde su aprobación en 2014. En él se examinan los principales desafíos y oportunidades que enfrenta la pesca artesanal en la región y se presentan ejemplos de iniciativas implementadas en siete países representativos de América Latina y el Caribe (Belice, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, México y República Dominicana), cuyas experiencias ofrecen aprendizajes valiosos que pueden adaptarse a distintos contextos y capacidades locales. Se abordan áreas clave como la gobernanza, el trabajo decente, el comercio responsable, la igualdad de género, la gestión de riesgos ante desastres y el cambio climático, la coordinación institucional, la investigación, la comunicación, el desarrollo de capacidades y el apoyo continuo a las comunidades pesqueras para fortalecer medios de vida sostenibles. El documento concluye que el fortalecimiento de las capacidades institucionales, la inclusión social y la cooperación regional son pilares esenciales para consolidar una pesca artesanal sostenible, equitativa y plenamente alineada con la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y el Programa de Transformación Azul de la FAO. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyNational gender profile of agriculture and rural livelihoods
Uzbekistan
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) highlights key gender inequalities in Uzbekistan’s agrifood systems. Despite strong national commitments to gender equality, gaps in sex-disaggregated and agriculture-specific data continue to limit recognition of women’s contributions. Rural women face restricted access to services, infrastructure and decent work, alongside heavy unpaid care responsibilities that drive time poverty. Young rural women are particularly disadvantaged, with high rates of those not in employment, education or training and low participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. Although women are active across agriculture, their work is often informal or unpaid, with limited land ownership and access to water, incentives and advisory services. The CGA provides evidence and guidance for addressing these structural barriers and advancing gender equality in rural Uzbekistan. -

Practical training materials for veterinarians and farmers for better farm management
2025Also available in:
No results found.This volume is part of a broader series that also addresses other major production systems and livestock species, including dairy cattle, beef cattle, and small ruminants. The content and design of these brochures were developed and tested in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. Demonstration farms, pilot trainings, and farm visits were used to assess and refine the materials based on local realities. Feedback from veterinarians, poultry farmers, and national livestock specialists informed the final selection and format of the brochures.By promoting sound poultry care and preventive practices, these materials help farmers and veterinarians keep flocks healthy, reduce the need for antimicrobials, and lower the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). -

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportLinking FAO agrifood system interventions to subnational spatial typologies for resilience building
Evidence from Afghanistan, Nigeria and South Sudan
2025Also available in:
No results found.With declining resources for humanitarian and development efforts, resilience has emerged as a priority in development programming, as it offers cost-effective means to address both immediate and long-term needs. Evidence shows that resilience frameworks are most effective when interventions are tailored to local contexts and embedded in multi-year strategies that reduce vulnerabilities while responding to urgent needs. This study analyses agrifood system interventions implemented by FAO in 2022 and 2023 in Nigeria, Afghanistan and South Sudan. Using spatial resilience typologies that classify subnational areas by levels of persistent acute food insecurity, macronutrient availability, and connectivity, the analysis examines both the distribution of interventions and their combinations within projects and across geographic areas.
