Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPerfil de riesgo - Estreptococo del grupo B (EGB) / Streptococcus agalactiae tipo de secuencia (ST) 283 en pescado de agua dulce 2022
Also available in:
En Singapur durante 2015, el Estreptococo del grupo B (EGB) tipo de secuencia 283 (ST283) causó el único brote reportado transmitido por alimentos de enfermedad invasiva EGB. Más del 20% de los casos fueron en adultos sanos sin comorbilidades, lo que es inusual para el EGB. El brote fue vinculado al consumo de pescado de agua dulce crudo. Posteriores investigaciones encontraron que el EGB ST283 ha sido común entre el EGB que causa enfermedad en humanos y en la tilapia en todo el sureste asiático por al menos 20 años, mientras que fue casi inexistente fuera de esta región. Dada la novedad del brote, este perfil de riesgo consolida el conocimiento actual para identificar los vacios del conocimiento sobre el EGB ST283 a lo largo de la cadena de suministro de pescado de agua dulce en el sureste asiático. -

Perfil de risco - Streptococcus do Grupo B (GBS) Streptococcus agalactiae com tipo de sequência (ST) 283 em peixe de água doce
2022Em Singapura, durante o ano de 2015, a bactéria Streptococcus do Grupo B (GBS) com tipo de sequência 283 (ST283) causou um surto de origem alimentar de doença invasiva por GBS, sendo os únicos casos reportados no mundo. Mais de 20% dos casos foram observados em adultos saudáveis sem comorbidades, o que é incomum para GBS. O surto foi associado ao consumo de peixes de água doce crus. Investigações subsequentes constataram que o GBS ST283 é comum entre os GBS que causam doença em humanos e tilápia em todo o Sudeste Asiático há pelo menos 20 anos, ao passo que este tem sido raramente identificado fora desta região. Considerando o caráter emergente desse surto, este perfil de risco consolida o conhecimento atual para identificar os dados e a lacunas sobre a ocorrência e dinâmica do GBS ST283 em toda a cadeia de fornecimento de peixes de água doce no Sudeste Asiático. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRisk profile - Group B Streptococcus (GBS) – Streptococcus agalactiae sequence type (ST) 283 in freshwater fish 2021
Also available in:
In Singapore during 2015, Group B Streptococcus (GBS) sequence type 283 (ST283) caused the only reported foodborne outbreak of invasive GBS disease. Over 20 percent of cases were healthy adults without comorbidities, which is unusual for GBS. The outbreak was linked to the consumption of raw freshwater fish. Subsequent investigations found that ST283 GBS has been common among GBS causing disease in humans and in tilapia across Southeast Asia for at least 20 years, whereas it was almost non-existent outside this region. Given the novelty of the outbreak, this risk profile consolidates the current knowledge to identify data gaps about GBS ST283 along the freshwater fish supply chain in Southeast Asia. Although GBS fish infection can present with few clinical signs of disease, outbreaks of GBS in high intensity tilapia aquaculture can result in severe infection with mortalities of up to 80 percent. These outbreaks are largely undocumented but likely have a wide effect on aquaculture, given its economic and social importance across Southeast Asia. There is also a lack of data on patterns of fish consumption, including frequency, amount, preparation and consumer demographics. Nevertheless, consumption of non-heat-treated freshwater fish is common in Southeast Asia. Given the multitude of data gaps, the risk posed by GBS ST283 from consumption of freshwater fish remains highly uncertain. Potential risk management options start with the application of good aquaculture practices and good food safety measures throughout the supply chain. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
DocumentOther documentReducing inequalities for food security and nutrition
A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition
2023The report “Reducing inequalities for food security and nutrition” has been developed by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN) following the request by the United Nations Committee on World Food Security (CFS) as included in its Programme of Work (MYPoW 2020-2023). In particular, the CFS requested the HLPE-FSN to develop a report to: (i) analyse evidence relating to how inequalities in access to assets (particularly land, other natural resources and finance) and in incomes within food systems impede opportunities for many actors to overcome food insecurity and malnutrition; (ii) analyse the drivers of inequalities and provide recommendations on entry points to address these; and (iii) identify areas requiring further research and data collection. This report will inform the ensuing CFS thematic workstream on inequalities, aiming at addressing the root causes of food insecurity with a focus on those “most affected by hunger and malnutrition”. -

End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all.
