SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021
2021Also available in:
No results found.As part of the SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021, FAO collected innovations and creative digital technologies that respond to local problems and challenges. Many Pacific Islands rely on imported foods, which often negatively impact the health and nutrition of the local population and which increase the occurence of obesity, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases. This flyer describes the production of flour from breadfruit, banana, taro and cassava, that can be consumed locally or exported. The producers are exploring possibilities to use the waste from food processing to make coconut wood and produce energy. The initiative is supporting sustainable livelihoods for farmers who had lost their incomes due to the COVID-19 crisis. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookEmpowering women in fisheries value chains
Good practices and lessons learned from the Coastal Fisheries Initiative
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Coastal Fisheries Initiative (CFI) programme – a global partnership between FAO, the UN Development Programme, the UNEnvironment Programme, Conservation International, the World Bank and the World Wide Fund for Nature – has developed three legacy Global Knowledge Products to consolidate experience and lessons learned and to make its successful approaches and tangible impacts sustainable beyond the end of its five-year cycle. This e-book is the second of the series and is aimed at national and international policymakers, practitioners and development agencies. A key element of the CFI is the promotion of gender equity and equality in small-scale fisheries (SSF) given that these value chains employ 45 million women globally. However, their arduous work is often informal, underpaid and overlooked in policymaking. Addressing inequalities in women’s influence over coastal fisheries governance is essential. They have a fundamental right to take part in decisions about sustainability, conservation and the management of resources that directly affect their lives. Women also have a critical contribution to make to improve fisheries practices because their decisions and choices can affect how fishing is carried out, what and how much fish is caught, and how that fish is converted into food or income. This e-book describes successful CFI activities and approaches to empowering women in SSF to become leaders and entrepreneurs and to better their lives and livelihoods and those of their communities, while also promoting an enabling environment for gender equity and equality in SSF through participatory legal and policy reform.

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. -
