Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileEl Niño: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, August–December 2023
Mitigating the expected impacts of El Niño-induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2023Also available in:
No results found.There is a greater than 90 percent chance that El Niño will continue through the end of 2023, and international climate agencies forecast a moderate to strong El Niño continuing into 2024. This will increase the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards, ranging from drought to floods and storms. By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, El Niño may strongly impact agriculture, rural livelihoods and food security. Such early warnings clearly call for early action. FAO’s El Niño Anticipatory Action and Response Plan requires urgent funding to deliver immediate support in a number of identified countries around the world, based on analysis of historical trends, latest seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and the vulnerability of populations at risk. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileHonduras: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Honduras is experiencing a multifaceted crisis, mainly due to widespread violence, climate extremes and forced population movements. These shocks are disrupting vulnerable communities’ ability to produce food, particularly in drought-prone regions and in transit areas with limited resources, generating tensions between host families and displaced people. With 19 percent of the population analysed projected to be acutely food insecure, providing time-sensitive agricultural support to vulnerable households helps them to restore their livelihood and increase their self-reliance. -
BookletEmergency responseLa Niña: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, September–December 2024
Mitigating the expected impacts of La Niña‑induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2024Also available in:
No results found.Following the 2023−2024 El Niño event and the current El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) neutral state, La Niña (ENSO cool phase) is anticipated to come into effect between September and November withwith probabilities ranging from 55 to 71 percent, and is expected to persist through January to March 2025. La Niña can increase the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards such as droughts, floods, excessive rainfall and cyclones. These early warnings signal the need for anticipatory action to help vulnerable farming communities mitigate the potential effects of La Niña, especially in regions where the compounded effects from the 2023−2024 El Niño event and La Niña might materialize. FAO’s La Niña Anticipatory Action and Response Plan requires urgent funding to deliver immediate support in a number of identified countries around the world, based on analysis of historical trends, latest seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and the vulnerability of populations at risk.

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. -
